Date manipulation question

Thanks for the reply Sergey

I did read your earlier post. However we are not at that point in class so I can't use some of that code.  I  know most of the code I need to use I am not sure of how to actually impliment it or how I pass the mm/dd/yyyy to the function  or whether I do the conversion in the main and how I return the new string as month being a word. 

I am sorry, but we can not do your work for you. We can only help you in times you get stuck with code. By the way, you also could mention what language features you already know and can implement in code. For example, do you code with classes, STL, in C, in C++, mixed C/C++, etc? It is for us to know what solutions we can propose you to implement as there are usually many ways to solve the problem.
