Hello all, I am writting a program that will read in a date and convert the form then print it back out. I have day and year figured out but month is boggling me. I want to read in a number and print the letter month

ie if 2 is entered I need to print February

I have constants set for all months as const int February = 2;

But I do not know how to select the correct constant and print the characters.

Can someone help with an example?

Thanks

Kerry

well you could:

CODE
If (month == February) {cout << "Feb"; }


or you could
CODE

switch (month)
{
    case January:
      cout << "Jan";
      break;
    case February:
      cout << "Feb";
      break;
...
}


Or you could:
CODE

    string Months[] = {"Jan", "Feb", "Mar", ...};
    cout << Months[month - 1];
I am sure there are a few more methods but those I think are the more common types.
