C++: Using Inheritance (Base & Derived) on Program w/ 2 Clocks w/ TimeZones

[vTr]

Hey there, I was wondering if anyone had the time to look over my code and give me some tips or tweaks to help me get it running. The program is all about inheritance, where i have the derived class using the base class clockType (with using strings) to add time zones (MST, CST, EST, and PST<--as the default zone to start) to the two clocks in the main function. I am also trying to compare the values of clock1 and clock2 with the times zones to see if they are equal or not. The times for the clock can use the user-input style instead.
Sorry about the 'lightness' of the language used and hope some of that made sense... would love to figure this thing out and also understand how I messed this up.

Thankyou!

You need to add year, month and day to the clockType class because you can not compare times if you don't know what days they are on. Suppose you have two times that have the same numeric numbers for hour, minute and second. Are they the same, or are they at least 24 hours apart? Another example: t1 = 1:00 a.m. and t2 = 11:00 p.m. Is that 2 hours difference or 10 hours difference? Again, you don't know if you don't know the dates.

The clock is in 24 hour format, 0-24, sorry to not make that known earlier. Therefore I guess it is easier to implement that compare function and everything. Can anyone give me some specific fixes on this one, its all good it not though.

What exactly are you having a problem with?
