Question

I am trying to solve the following C++ problem over structures. I am having trouble with the very last structure and I made a comment next to where I am confused. I included the assignment instructions and my current code. I would appreciate if anyone can help me explain what I need to do for the last structure. Thank you.

Assignment Instructions

Create a program that will prompt me for each of the following items:

1. Date of Birth

2. Typical wake up time

3. Next Dentist Appointment. ( Date and Time)

Create a Date structure and a method to load and return the date structure. Create a Time-of-day structure and a method to load and return the Time-of-day structure. Create a DateTime structure that includes the Date and Time-Of-Day structure.

The Date structure should include year, month, day. The Time-of-day structure should include hour and minute.

Use these structures and apply them to the processing of the input of the 3 items listed above. Display the structured data for each of the 3 listed data items.

Avoid redundancy where possible ( In other words, avoid duplicated code and write method(s) as needed to avoid duplication). This primarily applies to the processing of item 3.

My Code:
#include
#include
#include
using namespace std;

struct date
{
   int year;
   int month;
   int day;
};

struct timeOfDay
{
   int hour;
   int minute;
};

struct dateTime
{
   date apptDate;
   timeOfDay apptTime;
};

void getDate(date &);
void getTime(timeOfDay &);

void getDate(date &d)
{

   cout << "Enter Month (Up to 2 digits):";
   cin >> d.month;
   cout << "Enter Day (Up to 2 digits):";
   cin >> d.day;
   cout << "Enter Year:";
   cin >> d.year;
  
}

void getTime(timeOfDay &t)
{
  
   cout << "Hour:";
   cin >> t.hour;
   cout << "Minute:";
   cin >> t.minute;

}

void outputDate(date &d)
{
   cout << "Your date of birth is ";
   cout << d.year << "-" << d.month << "-" << d.day << endl;
  
}

void outputTime(timeOfDay &t)
{
   cout << "Your typical wake up time is ";
   cout << t.hour << ":" << t.minute << endl;
}

int main()
{
   date d;
   timeOfDay t;
   dateTime apt;

   cout << "Enter your date of birth" << endl;
   getDate(d);
   outputDate(d);

   cout << "When is your typical wake up time?" << endl;
   getTime(t);
   outputTime(t);

   cout << "When is your next dentist appointment?";
   cin >> // I am confused here
  
   system("pause");
  
}

If you need any corrections kindly comment.

Please give a Thumps Up if you like the answer.

Program

#include<iostream>
#include<iomanip>
using namespace std;

struct date
{
   int year;
   int month;
   int day;
};

struct timeOfDay
{
   int hour;
   int minute;
};

struct dateTime
{
   date apptDate;
   timeOfDay apptTime;
};

void getDate(date &);
void getTime(timeOfDay &);

void getDate(date &d)
{

   cout << "Enter Month (Up to 2 digits):";
   cin >> d.month;
   cout << "Enter Day (Up to 2 digits):";
   cin >> d.day;
   cout << "Enter Year:";
   cin >> d.year;

}

void getTime(timeOfDay &t)
{

   cout << "Hour:";
   cin >> t.hour;
   cout << "Minute:";
   cin >> t.minute;

}

void outputDate(date &d)
{

   cout << d.year << "-" << d.month << "-" << d.day << endl;

}

void outputTime(timeOfDay &t)
{

   cout << t.hour << ":" << t.minute << endl;
}

int main()
{
   date d;
   timeOfDay t;
   dateTime apt;

   cout << "Enter your date of birth" << endl;
   getDate(d);
cout << "Your date of birth is ";
   outputDate(d);

   cout << "When is your typical wake up time?" << endl;
   getTime(t);
cout << "Your typical wake up time is ";
   outputTime(t);

   cout << "When is your next dentist appointment?";
getDate(apt.apptDate);
getTime(apt.apptTime);

   cout<< "Your appointment date is :";
outputDate(apt.apptDate);

cout<< "Your appointment time is :";
outputTime(apt.apptTime);
}
