tolower(inMth[i]);

myDate.setDate(inDay,inMth,inYear);
}//end setDateMenuI have problem doing a set date for the above codes. every time i invoked the setDateMenu(Date myDate) to set a new date to my object myDate, it manages to take in the correct day,mth and year (I did a cout at void Date::setDate(int inDay,string inMth, int inYear) It shows the new day,mth and year set.
However, when i did a print date (option B), the new date values are still not saved into the dates and it still prints the default date value which is 01-Jan-1990.
Anyone got any idea where the codes went wrong and why the new values of the day,mth and year aren't passed into the object?
