Hello all! I was bored and upon my father's challenge I made a program that tells you the 20 day SMA for a specific date, I only have 100 days of data but can up that to over 8000 whenever I get my logic sorted out. The problem is I have to put the date in as a number: ex) 5. That would give me the SMA for 11/30/2009, however I want to be able to input the date in '11/30/2009' format and receive the moving average that way. I'm a bit confused as to how I should 'tie' my lists together so that this is possible.
Please excuse my poor coding.
