So the problem I'm having is that my programing isn't asking the user the questions. All its doing is its outputting the default numbers.

I see nothing in your code that does ask the user for input.
Sure, your getInfo() method does, but unless i'm mistaken, you don't actually call this method *anywhere*.

I was think that so i tried putting getInfo(int Month, int Day, int Year) into the main function but it still doesn't get applied to the functions. All it does is ask the questions then outputs the default.

This is with reference to original post http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/general/128618/#msg695039:


To get the user input the member function getInfo should be invoked on any of the Date object. Something like:

1
2
3
4
5
 
Date myDate;
myDate.getInfo();
myDate.versionOne();
myDate.versionTwo();
myDate.versionThree();


1
2
 
class Date { ... void getInfo(int Month, int Day, int Year) ... };
void Date::getInfo(int Month, int Day, int Year);


Assumming getInfo member function should get the inputs (day, month, year) from user the parameters are not necessary. The member function's prototype should look like:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
 
class Date { ... void getInfo(); ... };
void Date::getInfo() 
{ 
... 
  if (Month<1 || Month>12 || Day<1 || Day>31 || Year<1950 || Year>2020)
    *this = Date();
...
}
mutexe (2372)
getInfo(int Month, int Day, int Year);

You dont call a function like that.

@33 getInfo(int Month, int Day, int Year);

This function getinfo is a member function of class Date. So it should be called on an object of class Date. Make the call like

myDate.getInfo();
