CO311: Introduction to Modern Programming II

Practice Test to prepare for Practical #10 on April 10

Please read the entire problem before jumping into the code!

Using the in-class examples as a guide, create a class called Date with the following characteristics:

• Separate, private data members for day, month and year. The year should be a positive number that can range from 1 to infinity, months range from 1-12, and days range from 1-30 (at this point, we’re ignoring the variant days-per-which-month issue)..
• A constructor that can take optional arguments for setting the date, but will default to 01/01/1980 if arguments are not given.
• A function to print the date to the console in mm/dd/yyyy format.
• Functions to add an arbitrary number of days/months/years to each data member, still keeping them within bounds. The functions don’t need to handle negative numbers or decimals.

Write a driver program to test all the permutations of your class, as seen in lecture examples. Your class definition, implementation and driver program should all be in separate files. Submit your copies to the FTP site in a separate folder called P10PREP and send email to jim3@millard.org if you want them reviewed.
