Calendar Code

[acoutcin]

I am trying to make a calendar at any given year where the user inputs the year they want(where the program will check if it's a leap year) and they would also input what day Jan 1 is. I am having trouble figure out the spacing for the later months. I'm having a hard time on how to come about this. I figure I would create a separate function for the spacing at the beginning of each month but that might mess up the spacing for the months after January.

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int printMonthCalender(int numOfDays, int startingDay);
int leapYearCheck(int year);
void printYearCalender(int year, int startingDay);
int main()
{
int numDays;
int typeDay;
int desiredYear;
int value;
cout << "Please enter the number of days in the month:" << endl;
cin >> numDays;
cout << "Please enter a number for the day of the week were first number starts:" << endl;
cin >> typeDay;
cout << "Please enter year:" << endl;
cin >> desiredYear;

//cout<<printMonthCalender(numDays,typeDay)<<endl;
printYearCalender(desiredYear, typeDay);
cin.ignore(2);
return 0;
}

int printMonthCalender(int numOfDays, int startingDay)
{
int countDays=0;
int startDay;
cout << "Mon" << "\t" << "Tue" << "\t" << "Wed" << "\t" << "Thr" << "\t" << "Fri" << "\t" << "Sat" << "\t" << "Sun" << endl;


//spacing for 1st week
for (startDay = 1; startDay <= startingDay - 1; startDay++)
{
cout << "\t";
}
//days in first week
for (int count = 1; count <= 8 - startingDay; count++)
{
cout << count << "\t";

}
cout << endl;
//loop for every week 6 # in the week ie 5-11, 12-18
for (int count = 1, countDays = 9 - startingDay; count <= numOfDays, countDays <= numOfDays; count++, countDays++)
{
if (count % 7 == 0)
{
cout << endl;

}

return countDays;

//add extra to the numOfDays
}
}

}

If your problem is only the spacing between columns in output, you could try std::setw() and the other manipulators:

Anyway, the compiler complains for a number of errors in you code and perhaps you should begin by managing them.
Here’re some hints:

#include <iostream>

int printMonthCalender(int numOfDays, int startingDay);
int leapYearCheck(int year);
void printYearCalender(int year, int startingDay);

int main()
{
    std::cout << "Please enter the number of days in the month: ";
    int numDays;
    std::cin >> numDays;
    std::cout << "Please enter a number for the day of the week were first number starts: ";
    int typeDay;
    std::cin >> typeDay;
    std::cout << "Please enter year: ";
    int desiredYear;
    std::cin >> desiredYear;

    // std::cout << printMonthCalender(numDays,typeDay) << '\n';
    printYearCalender(desiredYear, typeDay);
    std::cin.ignore(2);
    return 0;
}

int printMonthCalender(int numOfDays, int startingDay)
{
    std::cout << "Mon\tTue\tWed\tThr\tFri\tSat\tSun\n";

    // spacing for 1st week
    for (int startDay = 1; startDay < startingDay; startDay++) { std::cout << '\t'; }
    //days in first week
    for (int count = 1; count <= 8 - startingDay; count++) { std::cout << count << '\t'; }
    std::cout << '\n';

    //loop for every week 6 # in the week ie 5-11, 12-18
    int countDays = 9 - startingDay;
    for (int count = 1;
            count <= numOfDays && countDays <= numOfDays;
            count++, countDays++) {
        if (count % 7 == 0) { std::cout << '\n'; }
        std::cout << countDays << '\t';
    }

    return countDays;
}

    if ((year % 4) == 0)
