Using C++ Write a program that inputs a pair of month/year dates and outputs the total months contained within the range covered by these dates. The program should work correctly whether the first date inputted is before, equal to, or after, the second date inputted. Each date should be input as two integers with a slash ( / )character between them. Other input errors (such as a character other than slash between the month and year numbers) should result in a error message followed by shutting the program down.

String inputString1 = sc.nextLine();
System.out.println("Enter second date like 03/2015");
String inputString2 = sc.nextLine();
try {
Date date1 = myFormat.parse(inputString1);
Date date2 = myFormat.parse(inputString2);
long diff = date1.getTime() - date2.getTime();
System.out.println ("MONTH: " + TimeUnit.DAYS.convert(diff, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS)/30);
