Question

The Questionis below a) Create an operator function for the Date class in Class 11.1 that compares two Date objects and returns a Boolean value of true if the first date is larger than the second; otherwise, it should return a false value. The "larger than" algorithm for this comparison operator function is the following: Accept one date as the current object being evaluated and a second date as an argument Determine the later date with the following procedure: Convert each date to a long integer value in the form yyyymmdd, using the algorithm in Exercise 2 Compare the corresponding integers for each date if the first date's long integer value is larger than the second dates's long integer vlaue. return true Else return false the question is aboce and below is my code i have so far is below the only thing i can't figure out is what to do in the main and what to to about comparing the dates to see which is larger please help as soon as possible because it is due today for homewor before midnight pleasek

Explanation / Answer

I have removed the unnecessary functions and minimized the code, Pasted my code below.Please do check and let me know.

#include <iostream>
#include <time.h>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>

using namespace std;
//declaration section
class Date
{
    private:
    int month;
    int day;
    int year;
    public:
    Date(int mm = 1, int dd = 1, int yyyy = 2014)
    //inline constructor
    {
        month = mm;
        day = dd;
        year = yyyy;
    }
    void setDate(int mm, int dd, int yy)
    //inline mutator
    {
        month = mm; day = dd; year = yy;
    }
    bool checkDate(Date&);
    long int convert();
};
    long int Date::convert()
    {
        long int yyyymmdd = this->year * 10000 + this->month * 100 + this->day;
        return yyyymmdd;
    }
    bool Date::checkDate(Date& d2)
    {
        long int date2= d2.convert();
        if (convert()>date2)
        {
            return true;
        }
        else
        {
            return false;
        }
    }
int main()
{
    Date a(2, 2, 2015);
    Date b(2, 2, 2016);
    bool flag=a.checkDate(b);
    if(flag)
    cout<<"greater";
    else
    cout<<"lesser";
    cout<< endl;
    return 0;
}
