C++ Days of the week

[bender]

I need to write a program that deals with applying a certain discount only on Mondays and Tuesdays. How do i let the user type in a day of the week then apply an if statement to it? Do i use int?

[shadowCODE]

yes.

int dayOfTheWeek;
cout<<"Enter day of today: ";
cin>>dayOfTheWeek;

if(dayOfTheWeek == 2 || dayOfTheWeek == 3)   // 1 == Sunday
{
    discount.....
}
else
{
    no discount...
}

what if I wanted to use words instead of int, how can I do that?

Here are my 2 cents, somehow it doesn't work:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

void Sales(string dayOfWeek)
{

string Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday;

Saturday = "Saturday";
Sunday = "Sunday";
Monday = "Monday";
Tuesday = "Tuesday";
Wednesday = "Wednesday";
Thursday = "Thursday";
Friday = "Friday";

if (dayOfWeek!=Monday || dayOfWeek!=Tuesday)
{
 cout << "no discount" << endl;
}

else if(dayOfWeek==Monday || dayOfWeek==Tuesday)
{
	
cout << "discount" << endl;
	
}

}

int main()
{

string dayOfWeek;

cout << "Please enter a day:";
cin >> dayOfWeek;

Sales(dayOfWeek);

system("Pause");
return 0;

}

Here is my sexy little program.. Im sure you can modify it to use with user input...whats the point of having us do all the work for you ;)

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    const int NUM_OF_DAYS = 7;
    int daysOfTheWeek[NUM_OF_DAYS];

    for (int i = 0; i < NUM_OF_DAYS; i++) {
        daysOfTheWeek[i] = i+1;  //monday = 1, tues = 2.....sunday = 7
        cout << i+1 << " " ; // line counter for output
        if (daysOfTheWeek[i] == 1 || daysOfTheWeek[i] == 2) {
            cout << "Discount" << endl;
        }
        else{
            cout << "No Discount" << endl;
        }
    }
    
    return 0;
}
