    Default Problem with code.

    Hi i have a problem with this code and im not sure what i need to add to fix it:

    HTML Code:
    package gtoj;
    public class GtoJ {
        public static void main(String[] args){
            int YY;
            int DD;
            int MOD []= {31,28,31,30,31,30,31,31,30,31,30,31};
    if (YY%400 == 0 || (YY% |DD|=0DD YY %4==0)) MOD [i]=29;
        }
    }

    With the line that starts int MOD: it states "this array is only written to, never read from"
    the next line with the "if" says
    "varible YY may not have been intialized
    illegal start of expression
    variable DD miht not have been intialized
    ')' expected
    variable decleration not allowed here
    ';' expected
    cannot find symbol
    variable i
    location: classGtoJ"


    Im not sure what it means, im not sure if i needed to declare the int YY and DD, also where do i input the dates that would be converted, also I'm not sure if i wrote the if statement correctly with the "|" and "!"

    --- Update ---

    also should i change the public static void.. to public static int?

    would that work, each time i try it, the program tells me to add the static void

    and Thanks in advanced for helping

    Most of the errors are explained in the error message.
    The compiler wants all variables defined in a method to be given a value before they are used.
    The "cannot find symbol" error means that the compiler can not find a definition for the variable mentioned in the error message.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    what i have to do for the if statement
    Which error are you talking about?

    To make the condition in the if statement clearer and easier to read and understand, put ()s around each boolean expression. A boolean expression has these three things: leftOperand booleanOperator rightOperand
    For example:
    if((a > b) && (c < d))

    a, c and (a > b) are leftOperands
    > && and < are booleanOperators
    b, d and (c > d) are rightOperands
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
