The assignment is the following: write a program that determines the day of the week for a given date by using the julian day number. this is the number of days that have elapsed since January 1, 4713 BC. The JDN date can calculate the day of week by this formula - DayofWeek = (JDN +1) % 7 The result is in the range of 0 to 6 with 0 as Sunday. How is the JDN computed? If using the Gregorian calendar (later than October 15, 1582) then compute intRes1 with the following formula or let intRes1 be zero.

intRes1 = 2 - year / 100 + year / 400
second result is computed as: intRes2 = int(365.25 * year)
third value is computed as: intRes3 = int(30.6001 * (month + 1))
JDN is computed as JDN = intRes1 + intRes2 + intRes3 + day + 1720994.5

Formulas require nine significant digits;using integer type long and floating-point type double. should prompt for input of date and label the output.


Here's my code for a problem I'm working on for class. I can't get it to work and don't know what I'm missing. Any advice would be great.



double intRes1;
long intRes2;
long intRes3;
double temp;

//Gregorian calendar test date
if(month <= 10 && day <=15 && year <=1582)
intRes1 = 0;
else
intRes1 = 2 - (year/100) + (year/400);

//JDN calculation
intRes2 = long(365.25 * year);
intRes3 = long(30.6001 * (month+1));
jdn = intRes1 + intRes2 + intRes3 + day + 1720994.5;
temp = intRes1 + intRes2 + intRes3 + day + 1720994.5;
if (temp - jdn >= .5)
jdn = jdn + 1;

Can you specify the problem you are encountering, along with any error messages you are receiving? Also, this problem looks quite similar to another on the site...perhaps taking a look might guide you as well:

Here are my errors and I don't know what to fix. The problem you gave me is the same one so it looks like someone else is having problems with it too.

You are getting the error becasue you are using a variable named temp in your function, but have never declared or instantiated such a variable.

The others are warnings becasue you are assigning values of one variable type to another variable type.

Ok. I took that out completely. Can you help me with these errors, please? I need to turn my assignment in in several hours.

The first problem you need to fix is the fatal error...

Is there any possibility you are using a floppy drive to store your code?
