ok, i'm working on this calendar program, and i've searched around here on thise site for similiar posts, but in the other calendar programs i don't get what they are doing, so i've been writing this, and am almost done with it just needs a few things

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

}
return month;
} //getMonth function end

}

the startday isn't quite working right, i've tried playing around with it and haven't gotten it to work, the year needs to be 1753 then go on from there
and then the last one is how to print off the days on the calendar, i tried with a loop, but it just keeps going for some reason. any help would be appreciated, thanks guys!
