I'm suppose to combine class Time2 and class date into one class DateAndTime. I don't understand how to do it at all, I've been trying to read through my book and I just don't get it. Can anyone possibly help me out on how i could combine these two classes? The time2 class increments the time, and the date class increments the days, how would i combine this so that if the time reaches the next day it increments into the next day? I'm so lost as to how to go about this.

public class Date extends Time2
{
	private int month;	// 1-12
	private int day;	// 1-31 based on the month
	private int year;	// any year

	// constructor: call checkMonth to confirm proper value for month;
	// call checkDay to confirm proper value for the day
	public Date(int theMonth, int theDay, int theYear)
	{
		month = checkMonth(theMonth);	// validate month
		year = checkYear(theYear);	//could validate the year
		day = checkDay(theDay);	//validate day

	}	// end Date constructor

	// utility method to confirm proper month value
	private int checkMonth (int testMonth)
	{
		if (testMonth > 0 && testMonth <= 12)	// validate month
			return testMonth;
		else // month is invalid
		{
			return 1;	//maintain object in consistent state
		}	// end else
	}	// end method checkMonth

	// utility method to confirm proper day value based on month and year
	private int checkDay (int testDay)
	{
		int[] daysPerMonth = {0, 31, 28, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31, 31, 30, 31, 30, 31};

		// check if day in range for month
		if ( testDay > 0 && testDay <= daysPerMonth[month])
		return testDay;

		//check for leap year
		if (month == 2 && testDay == 29 && (year % 400 == 0 ||
			(year % 4 == 0 && year % 100 !=0)))
			return testDay;

           return 1;   //maintain object in consistent state
	}	//end method checkDay

	private int checkYear (int testYear)
	{
		return testYear !=0 ? testYear : 1;
	}//end checkYear
	public int getDay()
	{
		return day;
	}//end getDay
	public int getMonth()
	{
		return month;
	}// end getMonth
	public int getYear()
	{
		return year;
	}// end getYear
	public void setDay(int d)
	{
		day = checkDay(d);
	}//end setDay
	public void setMonth(int m)
	{
		month = checkMonth(m);
	}//end setMonth
	public void setYear(int y)
	{
		year = checkYear(y);
	}// end setYear
	public void nextDay()
	{
		day = checkDay(day + 1);
		if (day == 1) nextMonth();
	}// end nextDay
	public void nextMonth()
	{
		month = checkMonth(month + 1);
		if (month == 1) nextYear();
	}// end nextMonth
	public void nextYear()
	{
		year = checkYear(year + 1);
	}
	//return a String of the form month/day/year
	public String toString()
	{
		return String.format("%d/%d/%d", month, day, year);
	}	//end method toString
}	// end class

somehow I doubt that you'll need to extend Time2 in Date, since Data will on no moment use the methods or variables provided in Time2.

I think you're more looking at something like:

public class DateAndTime{

private Date date;
private Time2 time;

public DateAndTime(){
date = new Date(1,1,2001);
time = new Time2();
}

public void setTime(Time2 time){
time = time;
}
public Time2 getTime(){
return time;
}

public void setDate(Date date){
date = date;
}
public Date getDate(){
return date;
}

}

just a quickly written piece of code here, you may want to adjust all of that, including adding more setters for the Date and Time2 classes
