Thread: Getting input

Im writing the demo for my class to demonstrate each method. The class takes a number and assigns it to a month, or is supposed to. I have it working to say month 1 is January, month 2 is February and so on. I want to user to enter a month and set that to a number, how can I do this? Here is my class and driver:

 public class Month
   {
      private int monthNumber;
 
       public Month()
      {
         monthNumber = 1;
      }
 
       public Month(int m)
      {
         if (m > 0 && m < 13)
         {
            monthNumber = 1;
         }
         else
         {
            monthNumber = m;
         }
      }
 
       public Month(String name)
      {
         if (name.equalsIgnoreCase("january"))
            monthNumber = 1;
         else if (name.equalsIgnoreCase("february"))
            monthNumber = 2;
         else if (name.equalsIgnoreCase("march"))
            monthNumber = 3;
         else if (name.equalsIgnoreCase("april"))
            monthNumber = 4;
         else if (name.equalsIgnoreCase("may"))
            monthNumber = 5;
         else if (name.equalsIgnoreCase("june"))
            monthNumber = 6;
         else if (name.equalsIgnoreCase("july"))
            monthNumber = 7;
         else if (name.equalsIgnoreCase("august"))
            monthNumber = 8;
         else if (name.equalsIgnoreCase("september"))
            monthNumber = 9;
         else if (name.equalsIgnoreCase("october"))
            monthNumber = 10;
         else if (name.equalsIgnoreCase("november"))
            monthNumber = 11;
         else if (name.equalsIgnoreCase("december"))
            monthNumber = 12;
         else
            monthNumber = 1;
 
      }
 
       public void setMonthNumber(int a)
      {
         if (a > 0 && a < 13)
         {
            monthNumber = 1;
         }
         else
         {
            monthNumber = a;
         }
      }
 
       public int getMonthNumber()
      {
         return monthNumber;
      }
 
       public String getMonthName()
      {
         String month;
 
         switch (monthNumber)
         {
            case 1:  month = "January";
               break;
            case 2:  month = "February";
               break;
            case 3:  month = "March";
               break;
            case 4:  month = "April";
               break;
            case 5:  month = "May";
               break;
            case 6:  month = "June";
               break;
            case 7:  month = "July";
               break;
            case 8:  month = "August";
               break;
            case 9:  month = "September";
               break;
            case 10: month = "October";
               break;
            case 11: month = "November";
               break;
            case 12: month = "December";
               break;
            default: month = "";
         }
       return month;
      }
 
       public String toString()
      {
         return getMonthName();
      }
 
       public boolean equals(Month object2)
      {
         boolean status;
 
         if (object2.getMonthNumber() == monthNumber)
         {
            status = true;
         }
         else
         {
            status = false;
         }
         return status;
      }
 
       public boolean greaterThan(Month object)
      {
         boolean status;
 
         if (monthNumber > object.getMonthNumber())
         {
            status = true;
         }
         else
         {
            status = false;
         }
         return status;
      }
 
       public boolean lessThan(Month object3)
      {
         boolean status;
 
         if (monthNumber < object3.getMonthNumber())
         {
            status = true;
         }
         else
         {
            status = false;
         }
         return status;
      }
   }

Here is my driver, at the bottom of my driver, I try to get input from the user( a month), so when they type in february, I want it to output February is month 2, or January is month 1, and so on. I cant seem to get that to work though.

Here is my driver so far:

import java.util.Scanner;
 
public class MonthDemo
{
   public static void main(String[] args)
   {
      // Use the no-arg constructor.
      Month object1 = new Month();
      System.out.println("Month " + object1.getMonthNumber() +
                         " = " + object1);
	  Month object2 = new Month(2);
	  for (int i = 1; i <= 12; i++)
      {
         object2.setMonthNumber(i);
         System.out.println("Month " + object2.getMonthNumber() +
                         " name is " + object2);
      }
 
		String mName;
		Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
		Month object5 = new Month("");
 
		System.out.println("Enter a month name: ");
		mName = keyboard.nextLine();
		System.out.println(object5);
   }
}
