Answer 1

It depends on your preferance, if you want to use array of char as an input, then it will be different, but if you want to use integer, then that one is fine. Also, always put return 0 in the end if your main function return an integer

Answer 2

Thanks

Answer 3

You can use atoi function in cstdlib to convert string into integer

Answer 4

I find a solution online
is this possible to use char array (my approach) or below solution is better

Also its uses int main but its not returning zero
i mean code just run fine without any error

#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
int d;
int m;
int y;
cin >> d; // read the day
if (cin.get() != '/' ) // make sure there is a slash between DD and MM
{
cout << "expected /\n";
return 1;
}
cin >> m; // read the month
if (cin.get() != '/' ) // make sure there is a slash between MM and YYYY
{
cout << "expected /\n";
return 1;
}
cin >> y; // read the year
cout << "input date: " << d << "/" << m << "/" << y << "\n";
}
