C++ programing?

Troubles with my if statements


I keep getting this error (using the bloodshed compiler)


"expected primary-expression before '%26gt;' token"





here is the code ...





#include %26lt;iostream%26gt;


#include %26lt;string%26gt;











using namespace std;





int main()


{


int Month;


int Day;


int Year;





//month


cout%26lt;%26lt; "Please enter the Month (03): ";


cin%26gt;%26gt; Month;


if (Month %26lt; 01 %26amp;%26amp; %26gt; 12);


cout%26lt;%26lt; "Please enter a valid Month in 2 digit format\n";





//day


cout%26lt;%26lt; "Please enter the Day (15): ";


cin%26gt;%26gt; Day;


if (Day %26lt; 01 %26amp;%26amp; %26gt; 31);


cout%26lt;%26lt; "Please enter a valid Day in 2 digit format\n";





//year


cout%26lt;%26lt; "Please enter the Year (2000): ";


cin%26gt;%26gt; Year;


if (Month %26lt; 1800 %26amp;%26amp; %26gt; 2999);


cout%26lt;%26lt; "Please enter a valid Year in 4 digit format\n";





cout%26lt;%26lt; "The date you entered is " %26lt;%26lt;Month%26lt;%26lt;"/"%26lt;%26lt;Day%26lt;%26lt;"/"%26lt;%26lt;Year%26lt;%26lt;"\n";





return 0;





}

C++ programing?
Instead of:





if (Month %26lt; 01 %26amp;%26amp; %26gt; 12);


cout%26lt;%26lt; "Please enter a valid Month in 2 digit format\n";





You should write:





if (Month %26lt; 1 || Month %26gt; 12) {


cout%26lt;%26lt; "Please enter a valid Month in 2 digit format\n";


}





1) Don't put a semicolon after the closing ).


2) Don't prefix numbers with a 0. The compiler treats these as octal numbers.


3) The expression in your if statement is incorrect.


3a) You are using %26amp;%26amp; (and) instead of || (or). A number can't be both less than 1 and greater than 12.


3b) You need to write the variable name once for each expression in your if statement.
Reply:your expression is wrong.


if (Month %26lt; 01 %26amp;%26amp; %26gt; 12);


cout%26lt;%26lt; "Please enter a valid Month in 2 digit format\n";


it should be like


if (Month %26lt; 01 %26amp;%26amp; Month%26gt; 12)


cout%26lt;%26lt; "Please enter a valid Month in 2 digit format\n";
