Question

Create your own date class.

1. Create a MyDate class with these methods.
   • A constructor that accepts a month, day, and year
   • A method that determines if the year is a leap year
   • A method that returns the date in this format, "1/9/2020"
   • A method that returns the date in this format, "January 9, 2020"
   • A method that returns the day
   • A method that returns the name of the month
   • A method that returns the number of days in the month
   • A method that returns the year
   • A method that returns the season
     • Spring = Mar, Apr, May
     • Summer = Jun, Jul, Aug
     • Fall = Sep, Oct, Nov
     • Winter = Dec, Jan, Feb
2. Do NOT use any built-in date classes or methods in your date class.
3. Write a program using your class that
   1. Asks the user for a month, day, and year
   2. Creates a date object
   3. Prints information like the example run below.
   4. Make sure the values line up.

Example run

Please type in a month (1 - 12): 1
Please type in a day (1 - 31): 28
Please type in a year: 2020

Long Date: January 28, 2020
Short Date: 1/28/2020
Month: 1
Month Name: January
Day: 28
Year: 2020
Is Leap Year: Yes
Days in the Month: 31
Season: Winter
