A program that finds the day of the week you were born on. Once again, this was adapted from a homework assignment, but I rewrote the entire thing from scratch >.< but it was a lot of fun.
Birth DAY (of the week) finder
import java.util.GregorianCalendar;
import java.lang.String;
import java.util.Scanner;
/** Program that asks for your date of birth, then displays the weekday
* that you were born on (i.e., Sunday through Saturday)*/
public class birthDateFinder
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{ //Obtain the year of birth
System.out.println("What year were you born in?");
Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
String varYear = keyboard.next();
int year = Integer.parseInt( varYear );
//Obtain the month of birth
System.out.println("What month were you born in? (Please type in ALL CAPS)");
Scanner keyboard2 = new Scanner(System.in);
String month = keyboard2.next();
//Obtain the day of the month of birth
System.out.println("What day of the month were you born on?");
Scanner keyboard3 = new Scanner(System.in);
String varDay = keyboard3.next();
int day = Integer.parseInt( varDay );
//========== Calculate day of birth ==========\\
//Change month into number (still concidered a String)
month = month.replace("JANUARY","0");
month = month.replace("FEBRUARY","1");
month = month.replace("MARCH","2");
month = month.replace("APRIL","3");
month = month.replace("MAY","4");
month = month.replace("JUNE","5");
month = month.replace("JULY","6");
month = month.replace("AUGUST","7");
month = month.replace("SEPTEMBER","8");
month = month.replace("OCTOBER","9");
month = month.replace("NOVEMBER","10");
month = month.replace("DECEMBER","11");
//Change month into int
int realMonth = Integer.parseInt( month );
//create the calendar object
GregorianCalendar birthDay = new GregorianCalendar();
//set the calendar with the previously assigned variables
birthDay.set(year, realMonth, day);
//Get the weekday as a number 0-6
int weekday = birthDay.get(GregorianCalendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);
//convert GregorianCalendar.DAY_OF_WEEK into words
String weekDay = String.valueOf(weekday -1);
weekDay = weekDay.replace("0","Sunday.");
weekDay = weekDay.replace("1","Monday.");
weekDay = weekDay.replace("2","Tuesday.");
weekDay = weekDay.replace("3","Wednesday.");
weekDay = weekDay.replace("4","Thursday.");
weekDay = weekDay.replace("5","Friday.");
weekDay = weekDay.replace("6","Saturday.");
//print the weekday of birth
System.out.println("You were born on a " +(weekDay));
