Hey Guys, I am working on an assignment where we are supposed to output the date in different formats for example, month, date, year or date,month year, I have implemented a method to change for the arrangement of dates, It builds successfully but has errors when it runs plus it does not output the info in a different format. I have attached the application folder if you need to refer to other classes.
here is my code
// Fig. 8.7: Date.java
// Date class declaration.
public class Date
{
private int month; // 1-12
private int day; // 1-31 based on month
private int year; // any year
// constructor: call checkMonth to confirm proper value for month;
// call checkDay to confirm proper value for day
public Date( int theMonth, int theDay, int theYear )
{
month = checkMonth( theMonth ); // validate month
year = theYear; // could validate year
day = checkDay( theDay ); // validate day
System.out.printf(
"Date object constructor for date %s\n", this );
} // 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
{
System.out.printf(
"Invalid month (%d) set to 1.", testMonth );
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;
System.out.printf( "Invalid day (%d) set to 1.", testDay );
return 1; // maintain object in consistent state
} // end method checkDay
// return a String of the form month/day/year
public String toUniversalString()
{
return String.format( "%d/%d/%d", month, day, year );
} // end method toUniversalString
@Override
public String toString()
{
return String.format( "%d:%02d:%02d %s", day, month,year);
}
} // end class Date
