When posting code, make sure you use the code tags to preserve formatting.

What does "not working" mean?

It was running until i tried using swing Dialog boxes in my source code. So, now its not compling which means it still needs debugging.. but I do not know where I went wrong? or how to get it to work with the swing dialog boxes. Please help!

By default, the value the user inputted is a String. You are first setting the int day to a String value.

Your showMessageDialog

JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"It is "+leapYear+" that the year "+year+" is a leap year",JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);

Doesn't have the correct parameters required for that method.

Also, you never defined the method formatDay.

date=JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null,"Please enter your birthday in this format, mm/dd/yyyy.");
date = sc.nextLine();

No.

They enter it in the dialog box. You don't need to get it from the console.

I got it to compile, though it probably doesn't work correctly as I had to change some things around.

Well, it looks like it's working so far.

It's very picky with the format.

Thanks for helping me! I appreciate it!
