AI Thread Summary
The code provided calculates the first day of the week using the Julian method but fails to accurately determine the first day of the year 2000, incorrectly identifying it as Sunday instead of Saturday. The issue lies in a logical error within the conditional statement that checks the century, specifically the inequality for years 2000 to 2099. A suggested correction is to change the condition to ensure it properly checks the range. The discussion highlights the importance of accurate boundary conditions in programming for date calculations. Overall, the conversation emphasizes debugging and code correction to achieve accurate calendar outputs.

Hello...
the is my code:
#include<iostream.h>
#include<iomanip.h>

void show(int m, int w, int n)
{
cout<<endl<<"Sun Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat\n";
cout<<setw((w*5)+1);
for(int r=1;r<=(7-w);r++) cout<<r<<" ";
int count=0;
cout<<endl;
for (;r<=n;r++)
{
if(r<10)
{
cout<<r<<" ";
count++;
}
else
{
cout<<r<<" ";
count++;
}
if((count%7)==0)
cout<<endl;
}
}
void print(int v, int q,int y)
{
int nd;
switch (v)
{
case 1 :
nd=31;
cout<<"\n\n\nJan\n";
show(v,q,nd);
break;

case 2:
if(y%4==0)
nd=29;
else
nd=28;
cout<<"\n\n\nFeb\n";
show(v,q,nd);
break;

case 3 :
nd=31;
cout<<"\n\n\nMar\n";
show(v,q,nd);
break;

case 4:
nd=30;
cout<<"\n\n\nApr\n";
show(v,q,nd);
break;

case 5 :
nd=31;
cout<<"\n\n\nMay\n"; show(v,q,nd);
break;

case 6:
nd=30;
cout<<"\n\n\nJun\n";
show(v,q,nd);
break;

case 7 :
nd=31;
cout<<"\n\n\nJul\n";
show(v,q,nd);
break;

case 8 :
nd=31;
cout<<"\n\n\nAug\n";
show(v,q,nd);
break;

case 9 :
nd=30;
cout<<"\n\n\nSep\n";
show(v,q,nd);
break;

case 10 :
nd=31;
cout<<"\n\n\nOct\n";
show(v,q,nd);
break;

case 11:

show(v,q,nd);
break;

I have written a code but there is a problem in this code .
The code gives a true calendar until 1999 but when it comes to the year 2000 the first day of the year is saturday but my code gives that the first day of the year is sunday ,, and so on for the other years that follows this year and I don't know really what is the problem.
First I use Julian method to calculate the first day of the week ,and here is an example to illustrate this method.

January 1, 2000

Look up the 2000s in the centuries table: 6
This is the table :
1700–1799 4 (Still Julian Calendar in Great Britain and its colonies until 1752)
1800–1899 2
1900–1999 0
2000–2099 6
2100–2199 4
2200–2299 2
2300–2399 0
2400–2499 6
2500–2599 4
2600–2699 2

Note the last two digits of the year: 00
Divide the 00 by 4: 0/4 = 0 and drop the fractional part: 0
Look up January in the months table: 6 (leap)
This is the table:
January 0 (in leap year 6)
February 3 (in leap year 2)
March 3
April 6
May 1
June 4
July 6
August 2
September 5
October 0
November 3
December 5

Add all numbers from steps 1–4 to the day of the month (in this case, 19): 1+6+00+0+6=13.
Divide the sum from step 5 by 7 and find the remainder: 13/7=1 remainder 6
Find the remainder in the days table: 6=Saturday.
This is the table:

Sunday 0
Monday 1
Tuesday 2
Wednesday 3
Thursday 4
Friday 5
Saturday 6

I'm pretty sure the following line of code is what is causing your problem. The inequality is going the wrong direction.
Code:
else if((b>=2000&&b>=2099)||(b>=2400&&b<=2499))

The first boolean expression should be b>=2000&&b<= 2099

See if that fixes your problem.

BTW, use [ code] and [ /code] tags (without leading spaces inside the brackets) to preserver your formatting and make the code more readable.

Yes, your are right ..
merci beaucoup ...
