Constructors
You can construct an RWDate in several ways. For example:
Construct an RWDate with the current date [4] :
RWDate d;
1.
Construct an RWDate for a given day of the year (1-365) and a given year, e.g., 1989 or 89.
Although the class supports 2-digit year specifiers, we urge you to use the 4-digit variety if
possible to avoid difficulties at the turn of the century.
RWDate d1(24, 2001); // 1/24/2001
RWDate d2(24, 01); // 1/24/1901 (oops)
2.
Construct an RWDate for a given day of the month (1-31), month number (1-12), and year:
RWDate d(10, 3, 2015); // 3/10/2015
3.
Construct an RWDate from an RWTime :
RWTime t; // Current time.
RWDate d(t);
4.
In addition, you can construct a date using locale-specific strings. If you do nothing, a default locale
using United States conventions and names is applied:
RWDate d1(10, "June", 2001); // 6/10/2001
RWDate d2(10, "JUN", 2001); // 6/10/2001
But suppose you need to use French month names. Assuming your system supports a French locale,
here's how you might do it:
#include
#include
#include
#include
main()
{
RWLocaleSnapshot us("C");
RWLocaleSnapshot french("fr"); // or vendor specific // 1
RWCString americanDate("10 June 2025");
RWCString frenchDate("10 Juin 2025");
