C++ Friend class

Here again, to learn the friend class in C++. And here is a demo for a better understanding.

The demo is mainly to summary the working days till defined date in a year, and using the friend class to realize it.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;
class Date;
class CustomDate
{
    private:
        int da,yr;
    public:
        CustomDate(int d = 0,int y =0)
        {da  = d; yr = y;}
        void Display() const
        {std::cout<<std::endl<<yr<<da;}
    friend Date;
};
class Date
{
    private:
        int da,mo,yr;
    public:
        Date(int m,int d,int y)
        {
            da = d; mo = m; yr = y;
        }
        operator CustomDate();
};
Date::operator CustomDate()
{
    ///assume this is the working days of this year.
    static int dys[]= {23,12,21,22,14,23,12,21,22,14,11,18};
    CustomDate cd(0,yr);
    ///summay the total work days till defined date of this year.
    ///here, in the class date, we access the private memeber "da" of class CustomDate. Coz friend, so we can.
    ///This is the kernal part of this code!!!
    for(int i=0;i<mo;i++)
        cd.da += dys[i];
    cd.da+=da;
    return cd;
}
int main()
{
    Date dt(4,13,2014);
    ///convert date to customdate.
    CustomDate cd(dt);
    cd.Display();
    char *tt;
    cin >>tt;
    return 0;
}

More, if we don't want to pre-define the class date, we can do like the following, seems a more better way.

//class Date;  //coment this line
class CustomDate
{
    private:
        int da,yr;
    public:
        CustomDate(int d = 0,int y =0)
        {da  = d; yr = y;}
        void Display() const
        {std::cout<<std::endl<<yr<<da;}
    friend class Date;  //different with friend Date
};
