[cleverest]

Awesome, thanks for the info! I've worked more on this program and this is what I have so far? Am I on the right track? If not could you show the first initial steps that would be ideal to program in the main() function to assure I'm on the right track?? (please read my comments in the revised code....)

Also are the functions I filled out below good?? The last one is questionable to me...

Thanks again!

collecting the cin >> input?  or is this OK?? */


/* No matter what I do with the following 
code the number '30' is outputted when I test this 
IF statement block by using cout.....never '27' 
for the SUMMER/WINTER selections.... what am I doing wrong?  
I know it has to be a real simple answer...I'm just not 
getting it.....at worst...would you be willing to do just the initial one for me to 
illustrate for me the ideal way to do such a simple process....it's gonna sink
in eventually, lol  I really appreciate it!
