C#: Date of past and future fifteen years of a specified date

C# Sharp DateTime: Exercise-15 with Solution

Write a C# Sharp program to display the date of the past and future fifteen years from a specified date.

Sample Solution:-

C# Sharp Code:

using System;

public class Example15
{
    // Main method, entry point of the program
    public static void Main()
    {
        // Define a base date as February 29, 2016
        DateTime baseDate = new DateTime(2016, 2, 29);

        // Display the base date
        Console.WriteLine("    Base Date:        {0:d}\n", baseDate);

        // Show dates of previous fifteen years
        for (int ctr = -1; ctr >= -15; ctr--)
        {
            // Calculate and display dates 'ctr' years ago from the base date
            Console.WriteLine("{0,2} year(s) ago:        {1:d}", Math.Abs(ctr), baseDate.AddYears(ctr));
        }
        Console.WriteLine(); // Empty line for separation

        // Show dates of next fifteen years
        for (int ctr = 1; ctr <= 15; ctr++)
        {
            // Calculate and display dates 'ctr' years from now from the base date
            Console.WriteLine("{0,2} year(s) from now:   {1:d}", ctr, baseDate.AddYears(ctr));
        }
    }
}

Sample Output:

    Base Date:        2/29/2016
