Thread: Hi, i have a simple question.

Hi,
I have this code in my main :

public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		final int Sunday = 1;
		final int Monday = 2;
		final int Tuesday = 3;
		final int Wendesday = 4;
		final int Thursday = 5;
		final int Friday = 6;
		final int Saturday = 7;
 
		int num;
		Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
 
		System.out.println("What is the day today?");
		num = scan.nextInt();
		switch(num)
		{
		case 0 : System.out.println("The day is " + Sunday);
		break;
		case 1 : System.out.println("The day is " + Monday);
		break;
		case 2 : System.out.println("The day is " + Tuesday);
		break;
		case 3 : System.out.println("The day is " + Wendesday);
		break;
		case 4 : System.out.println("The day is " + Thursday);
		break;
		case 5 : System.out.println("The day is " + Friday);
		break;
		case 6 : System.out.println("The day is " + Saturday);
		break;
		}
 
 
	}

I want that all the days (Sunday , Monday, etc) will print me the day "Sunday", not a int, how can i do it?
Thanks,
Or.

Hello oror84!
Can you explain what are you trying to do?
If you want to print every "Sunday" time you can just add it inside the " "'s.
But if you want to evaluate the user's input and display the appropriate day you will need a different approach.
Hope it helps.

Alright I see your problem. Your problem is this.

all your final int (weekday) = number.

when you put a weekday into a system.out its always going to give a number... because you set it as a number.

System.out.println("Today is " + Sunday) is always going to output "Today is 1" because you have Sunday set to a value of 1.
