How can i subtract delivery date from current date in c++?

I have a program running for a university project (1st year at uni of central lancashire, preston, england baby yeh...





everything works fine, its a carpet shop program that calcs the prices etc then asks for a delivery date....


which it then converts to three strings, and then to integers for seperate day / month / year (need this as it is,


so dont say i should change it...)





cout %26lt;%26lt; "\nPlease enter the preferred date of delivery, in the format DD/MM/YYYY: \n";


cin %26gt;%26gt; Date;





DayStr[0] = Date[0];


DayStr[1] = Date[1];


DayStr[2] = '\0';


^^ same for month and years ^^





i then get the date n time from the system using time_t now;








how can i subtract the currrent date from the delivery date so i can print to be delivered in x days?





any help welcomed :D

Assuming your above program works, which I don't think it will because your doing an aggregate operation on an array..you should assign values to indexes in the array...eg cin %26gt;%26gt; Date[0] or use a for loop or something...regardless since your putting everything in an array anyway simply do something like using a counter variable, personally i think it would be the easiest way of doing something like that.





int counter = 0;





cout %26lt;%26lt; enter day to subtract %26lt;%26lt; endl;


cin %26gt;%26gt; counter;


cout %26lt;%26lt; Date[1] - Date[counter] %26lt;%26lt; endl;
