Open your time.h file, and research time(), mktime(), and localtime().

If I were in your place I would write my own functions for both of those.

Doing so is instructive and fun and should give you a feel for what
programming is like.

In the US the conventional form for a date is mm dd yyyy. So the month part
is the first field the user types.

It all depends on how you allow the users to enter the date. There are
various possible formats. For example (in the US), "09/27/06",
"09/27/2006", "Sept. 27, 2006", "September 27, 2006", and "27 Sep 2006" are
all ways to specify the 27th of September of this year. I believe there are
some functions in time.h which might help (but I don't know them
personally). Various functions might also be provided by your operating
system or compiler. Or you could write your own "parser" to break the
string into its parts, either according to rules you specify or according to
some kind of format string such as that which printf uses. It's really up
to you. If you need more help, you'll need to be more specific.

Support for dates and times in standard C++ is quite small, you may be
better served by Boost.Date_Time (www.boost.org). You can also check in
the <ctime> standard header (http://tinyurl.com/6u87b).
