Chapter 5.3, Problem 21SCP

Explanation of Solution

Given code snippet:

/*declare the variable and call the "getTotalDaysSince1980" method*/

int days = getTotalDaysSince1980();

//set the value

year = 1980;

//check "days" is greater than 365

while (days > 365)

{

    // check the "year" is leap year or not

    if (isLeapYear(year))

    {

        //check "days" is greater than 366

        if (days > 366)

        {

            //calculate "days"

            days -= 366;

            //calculate "year"

            year += 1;

      ...

Explanation of Solution

Corrected program:

/*declare the variable and call the "getTotalDaysSince1980" method*/

int days = getTotalDaysSince1980();

//set the value

year = 1980;

//check "days" is greater than 365

while (days > 365)

{

    // check the "year" is leap year or not

    if (isLeapYear(year))

    {

        //check "days" is greater than 366

        (days > 366)

        {

            //calculate "days"

            days -= 366;

            //calculate "year"

            year += 1;

        }

        //otherwise

        else
