All language subtitles for 7. Challenge 5 - Find the Next Date

All right, so in this video, this amazing challenge, what we are going to do is to write a function

that receives a date variable representing some given date, OK, based on our previous examples, very

similar.

And these functions should find and print the next day on the calendar.

So if you're a date is something like 1st of October, 2001, let's say that's of a current date.

Current date is simply like, I don't know, first of October, October 2001, then the printed result,

the next date, the printed result should be should be something like 2nd of October, 2001.

And while that's very simple, there are some cases that students find it hard to make this program

and to answer this challenge.

So my task to you guys, my request is before you move on and like view the whole solution that I'm

giving to you, stop this video, take 20, 30 minutes, try try to write this program on your own.

And once you are ready, once you are done, proceed with this video and make sure and see where you

did one thing and I did another thing and trying to understand where is the difference.

And if everything works correctly, then I think you are proceeding very well.

And if not, make your notes, write your remarks and try on practicing even further.

All right.

Okay.

And now I help.

You are back and you are full of energy and you gave it a shot on your own.

So what we want to do right now, I will still leave everything that I've created previously, the type

struck date, as well as the print, the function, as well as the input date that is responsible for

getting an input from the user.

And what I'm going to use in the main function is simply, let's say, to create a new date.

Simple as that.

And what will be the type of this function?

So first of all, let's say that the type of this function will be void.

So void prefect's date, date DETI, for example, we're receiving a date variable.

Now, what we have to do is to think about the logic behind the scenes as to how to find the next day.

And it's and also taking into account that all of these days that all of these days may also come to

this point thirty one, twelve months and the year and so on.

OK, so the first thing that we have to do is to use something like that date day equals D.T., Dotti

plus one.

OK, we are incrementing just by one.

So deti dot day plus plus would also work here.

OK, and now we are going to ask a simple question.

So awesome.

I think that now we've managed to cover everything here.

Also guys know that there are a lot of a couple actually of ways to solve this exercise.

Also by taking into account the exact month of like month that have 30 days and months and months,

that they have thirty one days.

But the function itself simply will be a little bit longer and you will simply have to use now probably

the best way will be to use switch cases and to like take January as having thirty one days and then

taking the next month, thirty and so on, so forth.

And you know, like taking into account that they are maybe once in four years.

Right.

Twenty eight and twenty nine days in February and so on.

But that's not something that we are going to do right now.

What we wanted just to see what kind of logic of how you find out and print the next day.

And last thing do we have to add here is like something like that or print f the next day is OK and

you simply print use the function print date to print our ADT, our outdated date.

And there you go.

So guys, run this program on your own.

Take some notes.

Right.

And let me know if everything works for you correctly.

If you have managed to make this exercise successfully on your own, if you found this information useful.

And also what I wish you, as always, have a great day and.

Keep on practicing, I'll see you next time.
