C++: Find the Last Sunday of Each Month

Bjarne-stroustrup
 

Write a program or a script that returns the last Sundays of each month of a given year. The year may be given through any simple input method in your language (command line, std in, etc.).

Example of an expected output:

./last_sundays 2013
2013-01-27
2013-02-24
2013-03-31
2013-04-28
2013-05-26
2013-06-30
2013-07-28
2013-08-25
2013-09-29
2013-10-27
2013-11-24
2013-12-29

class lastSunday

		m[0]  = "JANUARY:   "; m[1]  = "FEBRUARY:  "; m[2]  = "MARCH:     "; m[3]  = "APRIL:     "; 
		m[4]  = "MAY:       "; m[5]  = "JUNE:      "; m[6]  = "JULY:      "; m[7]  = "AUGUST:    ";

Output:
  YEAR 2013
=============
JANUARY:   27
FEBRUARY:  24
MARCH:     31
APRIL:     28
MAY:       26
JUNE:      30
JULY:      28
AUGUST:    25
SEPTEMBER: 29
OCTOBER:   27
NOVEMBER:  24
DECEMBER:  29

Other solution, based on the Boost DateTime library:

#include <iostream>
#include <boost/date_time/gregorian/gregorian.hpp>
#include <cstdlib>

int main( int argc , char* argv[ ] ) {
	using namespace boost::gregorian ;

	int year =  std::atoi( argv[ 1 ] ) ;
	for ( int i = 1 ; i < 13 ; i++ ) {
		try { 
			date d( year , i , 1  ) ;
			d = d.end_of_month( ) ;
			day_iterator d_itr ( d ) ;
			while ( d_itr->day_of_week( ) != Sunday ) {
				--d_itr ;
			}
			std::cout << to_simple_string ( *d_itr ) << std::endl ;
		} catch ( bad_year by ) {
			std::cout << "Terminated because of " << by.what( ) << "\n" ;
		}
	}
	return 0 ;
}
