Hello, this is for programming in C++. Below is the assignment, it deals with pointers and I am a bit lost on them so please include comments when you can. Thank you very much.

Below the assignment is the default programs associated with this assignment.

Here are the default programs as followed: clientDate.cpp, time.cpp, time.h ... (separated by dash symbols)

Date date1 (9,2,2002,13,00,00,"Labor Day");

Date date2 (9,6,2002,13,00,00,"First Friday");

Date date3;

date3 = date2;

else if (date1 == date2)

Overloading Operators in the Date Class 1. Take a look at the specification file for this class and nocehow it has been set up for operator overloading. Notice also the object otherTime of the Time type that has been added to the private section of this class. So, all Date objects will now have a time object within them. This is an example of containment. This means you will need to copy over your Time class specification and implementation fron last week's lab to your current directory Type cp . ./Lab2/time. * ' to copy over these files. Notice that is a space and dot after the asterisk 2. Notice the friend function for operator
