Friends Should be Declared Public

The compiler ignores the access specifier of friend functions. However, you should declare them as public to make the code readable:

 bool operator ==( const Date & d1, const Date& d2); class Date{  private:    int day, month, year;  public:     friend bool operator ==( const Date & d1, const Date& d2); };
