uhm.. I'm sorry, but you teacher should really lose her job. that
functionallity is a _very_ basic feature of streams (that is, not only cin,
but all streams) that every c++ book in existance mention. If it doesn't it
should be burned.
Actually, for his question he could have solved it like this too:
cin >> year;
cin >> day;
cin >> month;
And it would have worked perfectly with entering "1983 23 7".
I get the strong impression that he didn't even try...
