    Default How do you solve the dayOfTheWeek program with basic code?

    Write a program that prompts the user to enter a date, using integer values for the month, day, and year, and then prints out the day of the week that fell on that date.

    According to the Gregorian Calendar, January 1, 1601 was a Monday. Observe all leap years (and keep in mind that 1700, 1800, and 1900 were not leap years).
    ------------------------------------what I have so far is below, besides that I am stuck------------------------------------------------------------------------
    import java.util.*;
    public class DayOfTheWeek {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
    userInput();
    leapYearCheck();
    }

    public static void userInput(){
    Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);
    int month;
    int day;
    int year;
    System.out.print("Enter month:");
    month = console.nextInt();
    System.out.print("Enter day:");
    day = console.nextInt();
    System.out.print("Enter year:");
    /* solves for the leap year */
    if( (year % 4 == 0 && year % 100 != 0) || (year % 400 == 0)) {
    year = 1601 +3;

    }



    }

    Do you have to do all the calculations yourself or can you use a class like Calendar?
    If you have to do the math, then you will need to find an algorithm for that.


    Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:

    [code]
    **YOUR CODE GOES HERE**
    [/code]

    to get highlighting and preserve formatting.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
