Garbage values in my methods?

[Xepharia]

Hello everybody, just for a little background I have almost no experience in Object Oriented Design, so this may seem like a simple error but I've fuddled around with different ideas for hours and cannot seem to come to a solution.

In the "MMDDYYYY" method, I have formatted output to display a date in MMDDYYYY format. Here is the method here:

void Date::MMDDYYYY()
{
    int MM = getMonth();
    int DD = getDay();
    int YYYY = getYear();
    cout << MM << "/" << DD << "/" << YYYY;
}  

I've tested using just:

void Date::MMDDYYYY()
{
    cout << getMonth() << " " << getDay() << " " << getYear();
}

But that didn't work either.

In main, I use the mutator setYear(int) to try to make the private member in the Date class 1997:

cout << "Please enter the year in YYYY format: ";
cin >> yearChoice;
date.setYear(yearChoice);

But, when given the value '1997', it returns a value of

6422368

If I haven't given enough information, just let me know and I'll be more than happy to elaborate even further. Cheers!

We need to see the whole program. Anything could be happening.
