C Program to check valid date

C Program to Check if the date is valid or not

In this example, we will see a C program through which we can check if the given date value is a valid date or not.

• STEP 1: Enter the date.
• STEP 2:Check year validation, if the year is not a valid print error.
• STEP 3:If the year is valid, check month validation, if the month is not a valid print error.
• STEP 4:If the month is valid, then finally check day validation with leap year condition.
• STEP 5:If the day is valid print date is a correct otherwise print error.

#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
int dd,mm,yy;
printf("Enter date (DD/MM/YYYY format): ");
scanf("%d/%d/%d",&dd,&mm,&yy);
//check year
if(yy>=1900 && yy<=9999)
{
//check month
if(mm>=1 && mm<=12)
{
//check days
if((dd>=1 && dd<=31) && (mm==1 || mm==3 || mm==5 || mm==7 || mm==8 || mm==10 || mm==12))
printf("Date is valid.\n");

printf("Date is valid.\n");
else if(dd==29 && mm==2 && (yy%400==0 ||(yy%4==0 && yy%100!=0)))
printf("Date is valid.\n");

printf("Day is invalid.\n");
}

}
}

}
return 0;
