I'm trying to make a programming that would set the time to 11/7/2018, but it's not working. It only display 4 errors. Can someone please help me rectify the code.



#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class date {
private:
int day,month,year;

public:
void advance();

date(){
day=1;
month=1;
year=2018;
};

void setDate(){
cout<<day<<"/"<<month<<"/"<<year<<endl;
}
};

void date::advance(){
for(month=1;month=<12;month++){
for(day=1;day=<31;day++){
cout<<day<<"/"<<month<<"/"<<year<<endl;
}
}
}

int main(){
date d;
cout<<"Date set as:";
d.setDate();
cout<<"Setting the advance method"<<endl;
d.advance();
return 0;
}


It display In member function void date::setDate():



[Error] expected primary-expression before '<<' token
In member function 'void date::advance()':
[Error] expected primary-expression before '<<' token

  • You are using date which isn't declared. You probably meant to use day. Also, as was pointed out by a now deleted comment, you should verify that you use = (assignment) correctly (comparison for equality would use ==).

    "it's not working. It only display 4 errors" is not a useful problem description. At the very least, show us the errors.

I think you meant to write



cout<<day<<"/"<<month<<"/"<<year<<endl;


instead of



cout<<date<<"/"<<month<<"/"<<year<<endl;


in both the setDate and advance functions
