hi

i have this assignment in c++, i did it, but there is one tiny error i cant figure out the solution to it. the program below is supposed to take in 3 elements value inputs from user for 3 students. so if you run it, you get input student1 birth month numerically, then birth day; then birth year. then id, age, and the gpa. and it loops for 3 students. however, it inputs the complete birthdate for each student when you are done inputting the 3rd student information a format of month/day/year for each student. i am getting 0/0/0. why?

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

class Date
{
private:

    int day;
    int month;
    int year;

    {
        day = x;
    }
    void Date::setMonth(int x)
    {
        month = x;
    }

    }

i needed this in some hours from now, and its just a simple problem here (is the get day, month, year after each slash in the code wrong? thats all i think of, but i dont know how otherwise it fixes because it didnt give me errors) so any help is appreciated!

In Student class change setDate to:

void Student::setDate(Date x)
{
    this->birthdate = x;
}

Then in main() after setting the members of Date you need to call:

a[i].setDate(d);

I assume that checking for valid data wasn't a requirement. eg integer overflow, inputting a string etc

thank you very much it worked :)
