Hello
I'm having some trouble with my if, else statements. For some reason, the
months that have 31 days work fine, but the months that have 28/30 do not
work. Am I doing something wrong? it is supposed to take a date as an
input like 9/31/1991 and then say that the date is not valid because
september only has 30 days.
import string
def main():
# get the day month and year
month, day, year = input("Please enter the mm, dd, yyyy: ")
date1 = "%d/%d/%d" % (month,day,year)
months = [0, 31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31]
if day <= months[1]:
d = "valid"
else:
n = "not valid"
if day <= months[2]:
d = "valid"
else:
d = "not valid"
if day <= months[3]:
d = "valid"
else:
d = "not valid"
if day <= months[4]:
d = "valid"
else:
n = "not valid"
if day <= months[5]:
d = "valid"
else:
d = "not valid"
if day <= months[6]:
d = "valid"
else:
d = "not valid"
if day <= months[7]:
d = "valid"
else:
d = "not valid"
if day <= months[8]:
d = "valid"
else:
d = "not valid"
if day <= months[9]:
d = "valid"
else:
d = "not valid"
if day <= months[10]:
d = "valid"
else:
d = "not valid"
if day <= months[11]:
d = "valid"
else:
d = "not valid"
if day <= months[12]:
d = "valid"
else:
d = "not valid"
print "The date you entered", date1, "is", d +"."
main()
