Ok so I got this homework problem that asks to get the month and the date of the user and then ask them to enter a year for which they would like to know the day of the week on which their birthday falls. The program should display the day of the week for your birthday of that year. I need to use a switch statement to determine the day of the week instead of just displaying (1,2,3,4) like it does by default. All I need some help on is getting it display the Day instead of the number. Can somebody help me out
This is what I got
import java.util.Scanner; import java.util.GregorianCalendar; import javax.swing.JOptionPane; // Import JOptionPane from the swing class import java.text.DateFormat;//Import Scanner public class MyBirthdays { //main method public static void main(String[] args) //Main Method { // Declare and initialize variables String monthString, dayString,yearString; int month,day,year; monthString =JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter Month You were born in." ); month = Integer.parseInt(monthString); // Convert string into integer and stores the value in age dayString = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("What's the day u were born on "); // Ask user for name of month day = Integer.parseInt(dayString); // Convert string dayString into integer and store value in day. yearString = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("What's the year u were born on "); // Ask user for numerical day born on year = Integer.parseInt(yearString); // Convert string dayString into integer and store value in day. month-=1; GregorianCalendar birthYear = new GregorianCalendar(year,month,day); int birth = birthYear.get(GregorianCalendar.DAY_OF_WEEK); System.out.println( birth); //switch (month) { //case 1: month = "January"; //break; /*case 2: month = "February" case 3: month = "March" case 4: month = "April" case 5: month = "May" case 6: month = "June"*/ } GregorianCalendar birthdate = new GregorianCalendar(year,month,day); long birthTime = birthdate.getTimeInMillis(); DateFormat longDate = DateFormat.getDateInstance( DateFormat.LONG); String birthDateString = longDate.format(birthTime); System.out.println(birthDateString); //JOptionPane.showMessageDialog( null, outputMessage ); } }
