Description
Time, time, time, see what’s become of me While I looked around for my possibilities… A Hazy Shade of Winter (Paul Simon)
Introduction
Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to ask how many days separated any two days? Wait no more, you are going to write this wonderfully useful program as your first assignment in CIS1300!
Functionality
You will write this program in increasingly more powerful forms. At each stage you will earn a grade so that it you do all stages you can earn 100% but if you cannot finish the last stage you can earn 80%.
The output format is just the number. For example,
86
$
If include is not on the command line, the program will return the value for
[85%] Stage C) ./daysCalculatorC dd1-mm1-yyyy1 dd2-mm2-yyyy2 include
If include is not on the command line, the program will return the value for
[90%] Stage D) ./daysCalculatorD today dd2-mm2-yyyy2 include
OR ./daysCalculatorD dd1-mm1-yyyy1 today include
This is the same as Stage C except that either of the dates can be the string “today”
[100%] Stage E) ./daysCalculatorE dd1-mm1-yyyy1 dd2-mm2-yyyy2 include
