Simplify the following program using loops, scanf, etc.

This program can choose earliest date from a number of dates.
The user will enter 0/0/0 to indicate that no more dates will be entered:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
int main(void)
{
int month,day,year;
int monthNew,dayNew,yearNew;
printf("Enter a date (mm/dd/yyyy): ");
scanf("%d /%d /%d", &month, &day, &year);
monthNew=month;
dayNew=day;
yearNew=year;
while(month!=0&&day!=0&&year!= 0)
{if(year<yearNew)
{monthNew=month;
dayNew=day;
yearNew=year;
}
else if(year==yearNew) //possible error here
if(month<monthNew)
{monthNew=month;
dayNew=day;
}
else if(month==month)
if(day<dayNew)
{dayNew=day;
}
printf("Enter a date (mm/dd/yyyy): ");
scanf("%d /%d /%d", &month, &day, &year);
}
