Description |
Checks if the date structure passed to the function holds a valid date. For
instance, if you specify a date of 29 February 2025, the function will return FALSE,
because February only holds 28 days in a non-leap year. All dates that are not between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2099 will also return FALSE. |

#include <stdio.h> #include "lib.h" void main( void ) { struct date d; d.da_year = 2002; d.da_mon = 2; for(;;) { d.da_day = 29; // only leap years have 29 days in February printf("\rDate: %02d-%02d-%04d",d.da_day,d.da_mon,d.da_year); if( CheckDate( &d ) == OK ) printf("\nDate ok!!\n"); else printf("\nIllegal Date!!"); while( !kbhit() ) Idle(); ResetKey(); d.da_day = 28; printf("\rDate: %02d-%02d-%04d",d.da_day,d.da_mon,d.da_year); if( CheckDate( &d ) == OK ) printf("\nDate ok!!\n"); else printf("\nIllegal Date!!"); while( !kbhit() ) Idle(); ResetKey(); } } |
