Thread: Calendar from user input PROBLEM!

**UPDATE** I have figured out the problem to the extent that I am only in need of help to get the user desired start day for the month to be the first day for the month!
Here is my updated code:

package calendar;
import java.util.Scanner;
/**
* This program asks the user for a month, the amount of days in the month, and
* the day of the week the month starts on, then generates a calendar for that
* month with the user entered data.
*/
public class Calendar {

/**
* @param args the command line arguments
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);

String month;
int daysInMonth;
String dayOfWeek;
String sunday = "Sunday";
String monday = "Monday";
String tuesday = "Tuesday";
String wednesday = "Wednesday";
String thursday = "Thursday";
String friday = "Friday";
String saturday = "Saturday";

System.out.print("Please enter the month for your calendar: ");
month = in.next();

System.out.print("Please enter the number of days in the month: ");
daysInMonth = in.nextInt();

System.out.print("Please enter the day of the week the month starts on: ");
dayOfWeek = in.next();

int daysPerWeek = 7;
int space;
space = daysPerWeek;

System.out.println(month);
System.out.println("S M T W T F S ");
System.out.println("--------------------");
for (int numberOfWeeks = 1; numberOfWeeks <= 1; numberOfWeeks++){

for (int days = 1; days <= daysInMonth; days++){
if (days <= 9){
System.out.print(days);
System.out.print(" ");
}else if (days > 9){
System.out.print(days);
System.out.print("");
}
if ((space + days) % 7 == 0){
System.out.println();
}
else{
System.out.print(" ");
}
}
}
}
}

Yea i noticed that heh, It is for the spacing so that the single digit days spacing changes when you get into double digit days so that everything stays lined up with the weekday columns, in which in my updated code i added an else if (days > 9) to fix that. Thank you for the response still need help with getting the first day of the month to start where the user input states! (E.g. starts on monday, tuesday, wednesday, etc.)

*Updated Code*

Java code
package calendar;
import java.util.Scanner;
/**
* This program asks the user for a month, the amount of days in the month, and
* the day of the week the month starts on, then generates a calendar for that
* month with the user entered data.
*/
public class Calendar {

/**
* @param args the command line arguments
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);

String month;
int daysInMonth;
String dayOfWeek;
String sunday = "Sunday";
String monday = "Monday";
String tuesday = "Tuesday";
String wednesday = "Wednesday";
String thursday = "Thursday";
String friday = "Friday";
String saturday = "Saturday";

System.out.print("Please enter the month for your calendar: ");
month = in.next();

System.out.print("Please enter the number of days in the month: ");
daysInMonth = in.nextInt();

System.out.print("Please enter the day of the week the month starts on: ");
dayOfWeek = in.next();

int daysPerWeek = 7;
int space;
space = daysPerWeek;

System.out.println(month);
System.out.println("S M T W T F S ");
System.out.println("--------------------");
for (int numberOfWeeks = 1; numberOfWeeks <= 1; numberOfWeeks++){

for (int days = 1; days <= daysInMonth; days++){
if (days <= 9){
System.out.print(days);
System.out.print(" ");
}else if (days > 9){
System.out.print(days);
System.out.print("");
}
if ((space + days) % 7 == 0){
System.out.println();
}
else{
System.out.print(" ");
}
}
}
}
}

Upload the finish product of it plss..

Guys, you are looking at this in a way too complicated fashion!

How's about this algorithm:

• Get month name, days in Month, and start day.
• Print the weekday headers (Sunday to Saturday) (American fashion ... )
• Pad the line with spaces equal to the start day offset.
• Use a loop to print each day of the month.
  -- (if it has reached number of days in the week, start a newline)

Suggestion, since he nearly has this right:

if ((i + startDay) % 7 == 0)
System.out.println();
