    Default Help with Java homework

    I am completely lost with this assignment. Can someone help me with it? Here are our instructions:

    This assignment will use the following description to implement a Dialog class for the Leap Year Problem. You need to decompose this problem into 2 classes:


    1.The Date.java class. Implement a public class Date that represents a date composed of a month , day, and a year. Declare month, day, and year as integers. They are the 3 instance variables. Remember that you need to write a constructor Date and 4 methods:

    "daysIs()" which returns a day

    "monthIs()" which returns a month

    "yearIs()" which returns a year

    "isLeapYear()" is needed in the class Date. It has one parameter "year" and returns a boolean. Write the method isLeapYear() knowing that a year is defined to be a leapyear it is a multiple of 4, and if it is is a multiple of 100, it must also be a multiple of 400. isLeapYear() thus decides when a year is a leap year. (see the discussion on "Hints for Assign5" to discover specific examples of a LeapYear).

    2.The DateJDialog.java class: which implements the GUI. Please use the Dialog boxes developed in the book in chapter2 in pages 99-100 in the code-listing 2-32 (NamesDialog.java) for input and output.

    Remember that you will prompt the user to enter:

    1.a day;

    2.a month;

    3.a year

    And out of these 3 you will be able to create a Date. Then you will use the dialog box to tell the user whether the year entered was a leapyear or not a leapyear.

    The purpose of the Date.java that you will implement is to decide whether a year is a leap year. Here is a definition of when a year is considered a leap year :
    1.
    year y1 is a leap year if it is multiple of 4.

    2.
    year y1 is a leap year if it is a multiple of 100, it must be a multiple of 400.

    3.
    Otherwise y1 is not a leap year.


    Do not forget to compile the 2 java files. To verify that the DateJDialog.java works, in TextPad after you compile DateJDialog.java, Click on Tools, Click on "Run Java Application".

    Here is what I have for the leap year program. The 2nd file will be for the GUI, how do I associate the files together?

    public class LeapYear {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
    int year = Integer.parseInt(args[0]);
    boolean isLeapYear;

    // divisible by 4
    isLeapYear = (year % 4 == 0);

    // divisible by 4 and not 100
    isLeapYear = isLeapYear && (year % 100 != 0);

    // divisible by 4 and not 100 unless divisible by 400
    isLeapYear = isLeapYear || (year % 400 == 0);

    System.out.println(isLeapYear);
    }
    }

    how do I associate the files together?
    A method in another class can call the main() method in this class using normal static method calling syntax:
    Classname.methodName(args to method here)

    This class needs to be on the classpath so the java program can find it.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
