Help Default Constructor

[Transcendent]

I'm supposed to write this program using a default constructor but when I compile I got this errors:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.Error: Unresolved compilation problems:
The constructor Date1(int, int, int) is undefined
The constructor Date1(int, int, int) is undefined

have u tried after uncommenting ur constructors?

I'm supposed to use a default constructor.

[Transcendent]

I did the ode but it's not working the way I want it too. For example if I change

int y = 2000, m = 5, d = 06; to int y = 2889, m = 44, d = 16; it prints it instead of what is in the if statement in class Date1.

public class Date1 {
	
	   private int year = 1; // any year
	   private int month = 1; // 1-12
	   private int day = 1; // 1-31 based on month
	   
	
	   //method to set the year
	   public void setYear(int y){
		 
		   
		   if (y <= 0)
		   {
		   System.out.println("That is too early");
		   year = 1;
		   }
		    
		   if (y > 2011)
		   {
		   System.out.println("That year hasn't happened yet!");
		   y = 2011;
		   }
		   else 
			   
		   year = y;
	   }
	   
	   public int setMonth(int theMonth){
		   if ( theMonth > 0 && theMonth <= 12 ) // validate month
		         return theMonth;
		      else // month is invalid 
		      { 
		         System.out.printf( 
		            "Invalid month (%d) set to 1.", theMonth);

set values of day, month and year using the setter methods u've created. if u r to use the default constructor, then u cannot create objects of Date1 using the constructors u created (and there will be errors when uve called then after commenting).

so set the values using the setters u created. eg:

Date1 d1 = new Date1();

System.out.print("Enter the year (yyyy) ");
year = input.nextInt();
d1.setYear(year);

and in the setDay function in Date1 class i think u meant to say

public void setDay( int d){
    day = (( d >=1 && d < 31)? d : 1);
//d < 31 instead of d>31
}

hope this help.

}

i'd suggest you to use ur previous method with minor changes.

you could have separate functions to validate year, month and day. in the setter just set the value.

maybe something like this.

//in the Date1 class. 

   public boolean isValidYear(int y) {
        if (y > 0 && y <=2011) {
            return true;
        }
        return false;
   }

//and to validate during runtime

System.out.print("Enter the year (yyyy) ");
  year = input.nextInt();
  while(d1.isValidYear(year)==false){
    System.out.println("Invalid year, year must be 2011 or earlier.");
    System.out.print("Enter the year (yyyy) ");
    year = input.nextInt();
  }

//now set year
d1.setYear(year);

try doing the same for day and month.
