Challenge: Strings, dates, and parsing

“

(upbeat music) - [Narrator] For this challenge you'll work with strings, dates, and parsing string values. The idea is to read two values from the user. A starting date value and an interval value. Check that the input values are correct. Don't allow non-date or number values. Using the interval value calculate a new date by adding days and months. For example is the start date is June fifth 2000 and the interval is five you would five days and five months to the start date and get November 10th of 2000. Format the results to look nice and output to the screen. You can build your app as a console or a WPF application. Take you're time to determine how to build the project. If you're feeling stuck refer to the earlier examples or jump into the next video and follow along with my solution. Happy coding.
