Answer 5

I googled that too phi, but "if" statement is also a switch statement, and that's what I need to use for this one

Answer 6

I have to use*

Answer 7

use strcmp(str,"monday") or compare (google it)
if (strcmp(str,"monday")==0) xx= 2; else if (strcmp(str,tuesday")==0) xx= 3; else...

Answer 8

To give you an example of what I need exactly take a look at this http://screencast.com/t/ApfdaNkpRh

Answer 9

That says all you need are 2 numbers....the user types in 0 for Monday..
Are you doing something different ?

Answer 10

If the user typed in 0 for the day, and 0 days later, the answer is 0
to printout "Monday is 0 days away"
I would use an array indexed by the day's number. DayNames[0] would return "Monday" for example

Answer 11

if you must use an if, it would look like this

if (num==0) str= "Monday"; else if (num==1) str= "Tuesday"; else ...

Answer 12

I agree with phi, the easiest way would be an array so you would just return the item at index (start + days_forward) modulo 7.

As for using the 'switch' statement (if..else if..else or switch..case) you would calculate num = (start + days_forward) modulo 7 and then do as he says if (num == 0) ...
