Write a program that asks the user to enter any date in the format specified above (month/day/2-digit-year). (It is very important that the input is in the correct format, typed all at once, all on one line, by the user. See the hints below.) The program should then determine whether the month times the day is equal to the year. If so, it should display a message saying the date is magic. Otherwise it should display a message saying the date is not magic. Do not use any string variables in this assignment.
This is your first activity that is labelled as a "project." You should use your IDE to develop projects instead of typing them directly into zyBooks. Also, some projects will be reviewed by me to ensure that requirements and style conventions have been met.
The main objective for this first project is to get your IDE set up and successfully compile and execute your first C++
The date June 10, 1960 is special because when we write it in the following format, the month times the day equals the year:
6/10/60
Write a program that asks the user to enter any date in the format specified above (month/day/2-digit-year).

Otherwise it should display a message saying the date is not magic.
Do not use any string variables in this assignment.
Hints: Read the three data into three separate int variables. Even though the user will be typing only one line of input, you will be using the extraction operator multiple times to read that input. I strongly suggest that you review lesson 2.9 before starting on this assignment.
To make your job easier, we will specify that it is still a valid date if the user uses a different punctuation character instead of a slash. For example, 6%10;60 would be a valid date (and a magic date).
Here are two sample runs (user's input shown in bold):
Enter a date in the format month/day/2-digit-year: 6/10/60 That is a magic date! Enter a date in the format month/day/2-digit-year: 6/10/61 That is not a magic date!
If you are having trouble handling the slashes, I'd suggest that you begin by writing the following program, which is one step toward the complete program: Write and test a complete program that (1) asks the user to enter a month followed by a single punctuation character, and then (2) prints the month and punctuation character that were entered. Here is a sample run of this first-step program (user's input shown in bold):
Enter a month as an integer, followed by a punctuation character: 6# You entered the month 6 followed by the punctuation character #
