Hello everyone, I think I need a second eye on the code. I'm not sure where I went wrong but it was working at some point. Everything should run without a problem any idea what is going on? A second opinion would be highly appreciated...

import java.util.Calender;
import java.util.GregorianCalendar;

public class Date 
{
	public static Calender cal;
		public static void main(String[] args)
		{
			try
			{
				//sets value
				DisplayDate(11, 27, 1998);
				//display values
				System.out.println("Date object constructor for date" +print());
				//increments the date
				for (int i = 1; i < 41; i++)
				{
					nextDay();
					System.out.println("Incremented Date: " +print());
				}
			}catch (Exception e) {
			}
		}

		public static void DisplayDate(int month, int day, int year) throws Exception 
		{
			cal = new GregorianCalender();
			cal.set(Calender.MONTH, month - 1);
			cal.set(Calender.DATE, day);
			cal.set(Calender.YEAR, year);
			
			if (cal.get(Calender.YEAR) != year || cal.get(Calender.MONTH) + 1 != month || cal.get(Calender.DATE) != day) 
			{
				System.out.println("Invalid Date");
			}
		}
		
		//calculates the next day
		public static void nextDay()
		{
			int date = cal.get(Calender.DATE);
			cal.add(Calender.DATE, 1);
			if (date == 31 && cal.get(Calender.DATE) == 1)
			{
				System.out.println("Day 32 invalid. Set to day 1. ");
			}
			if (date == 30 && cal.get(Calender.DATE) == 1)
			{
				System.out.println("Day 31 invalid. Set to day 1. ");
			}
			if (date == 29 && cal.get(Calender.DATE) == 1)
			{
				System.out.println("Day 30 invalid. Set to day 1. ");
			}
			if (date == 28 && cal.get(Calender.DATE) == 1)
			{
				System.out.println("Day 29 invalid. Set to day 1. ");
			}
		}
			
			//returning string data
			public static String print()
			{
				return String.format("%d/%d/%d", cal.get(Calender.MONTH) + 1, cal.get(Calender.DATE), cal.get(Calender.YEAR));
			}
}

i made my own version for calendar use zongrens congruence theorem for days and it works

import java.util.*;
public class Calendar {

	}
}

Not sure ... I think I'm missing a brace some where but I cant find where it is missing one.

ok i indented your thing properly follow the braces

import java.util.Calender;
import java.util.GregorianCalendar;

public class Date 
{
	public static Calender cal;
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		try
		{
			//sets value
			DisplayDate(11, 27, 1998);
			//display values
			System.out.println("Date object constructor for date" +print());
			//increments the date
			for (int i = 1; i < 41; i++)
			{
				nextDay();
				System.out.println("Incremented Date: " +print());
			}
		}catch (Exception e) {
		}
	}

	public static void DisplayDate(int month, int day, int year) throws Exception 
	{
		cal = new GregorianCalender();
		cal.set(Calender.MONTH, month - 1);
		cal.set(Calender.DATE, day);
		cal.set(Calender.YEAR, year);

		if (cal.get(Calender.YEAR) != year || cal.get(Calender.MONTH) + 1 != month || cal.get(Calender.DATE) != day) 
		{
			System.out.println("Invalid Date");
		}
	}

	//calculates the next day
	public static void nextDay()
	{
		int date = cal.get(Calender.DATE);
		cal.add(Calender.DATE, 1);
		if (date == 31 && cal.get(Calender.DATE) == 1)
		{
			System.out.println("Day 32 invalid. Set to day 1. ");
		}
		if (date == 30 && cal.get(Calender.DATE) == 1)
		{
			System.out.println("Day 31 invalid. Set to day 1. ");
		}
		if (date == 29 && cal.get(Calender.DATE) == 1)
		{
			System.out.println("Day 30 invalid. Set to day 1. ");
		}
		if (date == 28 && cal.get(Calender.DATE) == 1)
		{
			System.out.println("Day 29 invalid. Set to day 1. ");
		}
	}

	//returning string data
	public static String print()
	{
		return String.format("%d/%d/%d", cal.get(Calender.MONTH) + 1, cal.get(Calender.DATE), cal.get(Calender.YEAR));
	}
}

omg i figured out your problem

public static Calender cal;

since class calendar is imported you have to do this Calendar cal = new Calendar();

Not sure what you are referring too... I added the new method has you've mentioned but it didn't resolve the problem...
