My first post ....12 element array

suds (31)

I'm trying to code a program that displays the number of days corresponding to the month numbered entered by the user
I'm wanting to declare a 12 element int array named days, assign the number of days in each month to the array.

I'm running into some issues.

1st - do I just copy the code here for review or attach a txt file ... whats the correct process?

int days [12] = {31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31);

int month [12] = ("January", "February", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "September", "October", "November", "December");




cout << "Enter a number of the month to see the number of days in that month: ";
cin >> days;


// display days per month

cout << "Days of this month equal: " << days << endl


 system("pause");

 return 0;

You can't assign string values to an array of int

ok I think see what your saying ...thank you

What if you also want it to return an invalid selection, "invalid entry": , say if the user entered 13?

ok

I was thinking it would be a while statement but the if/else makes sense.
Thanks for your help ... much appreciated

If you want it to run more then once then yes you would use a while loop. If you only want it to run once the if/else will do.

Thanks for the help
