/*

Write a program that checks the validity of a date. The date is entered as separate numbers for 
the month, day and year. 
For example, if the date was March 16th, 2008, the user would enter 3 followed by 16 followed 
by 2008. The program checks that: 

• the month is a valid number for a month 

• the number of days in the month is valid for that month. 

• If the user entered February 29th

, you must check if the the year is a valid leap year.
The program just outputs the date and tells the user if the date is valid or not. 
The program contains four functions:

• The main function.

• A function that gives instructions to the user about how to enter the date 

• A function that is sent a month and a day and returns a Boolean value to represent 
whether that is a valid day for that month. This function should use a switch statement.

• The leap year function that determines if this is a leap year. This is  your leap year 
function from last week.

61 expected `,' or `;' before "switch"

93:13 invalid digit "8" in octal constant
97:13invalid digit "9" in octal constant

also what else would i have to add to where?
please help

edit : updated code

} // this curly brace end the main function should move below

switch(Month)
{


In C,C++, when you put 08 it interpret as octal number, 0x8 it interpret as hexadecimal number so for your case you just put 8,9,10 etc.

Also does C/C++ support syntax like 1...31 ? Usually we write as if (Day>=1 && Day<=31)

thank you!

now i edited the code to this... and still getting a problem...
