I have an assignment to create a Date class with given methods requests.
One of those methods give back the day of the week in integer, where 1=Sunday.....6=Friday, and 0=Saturday.
this is the method:
public int dayInWeek () {
int day, month;
int year; //2 last numbers of the year
int century; //2 first numbers of the year
if(_month==1 || _month==2) {
day= _day;
month= _month + 12;
year= (_year-1) % 100;
century= (_year-1) / 100;
}
else {
day= _day;
month= _month;
year= _year % 100;
century= _year / 100;
}
return (day + (26*(month+1))/10 + year + year/4 + century/4 - 2*century)%7;
}
Now, after receiving the day of the week, the assignment hints that there may be a date(s) where the result may be a negative.
I tried to make a main() that will loop through all days months and years from the given range years 1800-2100, but only got more and more confused and lost.
Ii'd appreciate it if someone could hint me how to make it happen, without all those existing calender/date/etc classes because it just gets messy for me like this.
Thanks.

i hope that's enough.
You have a negative result when the year is 2100. Test with today's date (month = 3, date = 24, year = 2100) and you can see it gives a negative number.
If you take a look at Code implementation for Zeller's congruence, you can avoid the problem by changing your formula to:
return dayOfWeek= (day + (26*(month+1))/10 + year + year/4 + century/4+ 5*century)%7;
im working on a Gregorian calendar project where i have to print 100 days from today and day of week of my birthday. The program displays a day, however its the wrong day. could you guys help me with the problem? thanks!

Date.add(GregorianCalendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 100);
CalendarUtils utils = new CalendarUtils();
String day = utils.getWeekday(Date.get(GregorianCalendar.DAY_OF_WEEK));
int year=Date.get(GregorianCalendar.YEAR);
int month=Date.get(GregorianCalendar.MONTH);
int dayof=Date.get(GregorianCalendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
System.out.println("100 days from today: " + year + "/" + month + "/" + dayof + " which is a: " + day);
GregorianCalendar Birthday = new GregorianCalendar(2012,1,1);
String Bday = utils.getWeekday(Birthday.get(GregorianCalendar.DAY_OF_WEEK ));

tl;dr
LocalDate.now() // Determine current date (no time-of-day) for the JVM’s current default time zone.
.plusDays( 100 ) // Add days.
.getDayOfWeek() // Get `DayOfWeek` enum object.
.getDisplayName( FormatStyle.FULL , Locale.ITALY ) // Generate a string of the name of this day-of-week automatically localized with a certain length/abbreviation.
Details
The troublesome Calendar class is now legacy, supplanted by the java.time classes.
You want to add a hundred days after today.
LocalDate today = LocalDate.now();
LocalDate hundred = today.plusDays( 100 );
You want the day-of-week of your birthday this year.
MonthDay birthday = MonthDay.of( Month.JANUARY , 23 );
LocalDate birthdayThisYear = birthday.atYear( today.getYear() );
DayOfWeek dow = birthdayThisYear.getDayOfWeek();
You want the name of month and name of day-of-week. Let java.time automatically localize for you.
Locale locale = Locale.CANADA_FRENCH ; // Or Locale.US, etc.
String m = today.getMonth().getDisplayName( TextStyle.FULL , locale );
String d = dow.getDisplayName( TextStyle.FULL , locale );
I suppose you want to enter the 1st of January 2012 as the birthday? The the correct line would be:
GregorianCalendar Birthday = new GregorianCalendar(2012, 0, 1);
or better:
GregorianCalendar Birthday = new GregorianCalendar(2012, Calendar.JANUARY, 1);
The month is zero based (0 = January, 1 = February,...). And this results in the output: Weekday of my Birthday: Sunday
I need to write a Java program (class NextDay) that calculates and prints the date of the next day by entering the day, month, and year.
Sample call and output:
Actual Date 12.12.2004
The next day is the 13.12.2004.
The input should also be checked for correctness! If an erroneous date constellation (e.g., 32 12 2007) has been entered, the exception InvalidDateArgumentsException is to be thrown. Define this class in a suitable form as a subclass of the class java.lang.Exception.
I started to creating it but the problem is; i cant tell that < or > in switch statements.What should i do? Here are my classes:
public class Date {
private int day;
private int month;
private int year;
public Date(int day, int month, int year) {
this.day = day;
this.month = month;
this.year = year;
}
public Date getNextDay() throws Exception {
if (isLeapYear() == true) {
switch (month) {
case 1:
day = 31;
break;
case 2:
day = 29;
break;
case 3:
day = 31;
break;
case 4:
day = 30;
break;
case 5:
day = 31;
break;
case 6:
day = 30;
break;
case 7:
day = 31;
break;
case 8:
day = 31;
break;
case 9:
day = 30;
break;
case 10:
day = 31;
break;
case 11:
day = 30;
break;
case 12:
day = 31;
break;
}
}
return new Date(day + 1, month, year);
}
public int getDay() {
return day;
}
public int getMonth() {
return month;
}
public int getYear() {
return year;
}
public boolean isLeapYear() {
if (year % 4 == 0 && year % 100 != 0 && year % 400 == 0) {
return true;
}
return false;
}
public String toString() {
return this.day + "." + this.month + "." + this.year;
}
}
...
public class NextDay {
public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception {
Date dateObj = new Date(20, 5, 2016);
System.out.println("Old Date: " + dateObj.getDay() + "." + dateObj.getMonth() + "." + dateObj.getYear() + ".");
System.out.println("The next day is " + dateObj.getNextDay().toString() + ".");
}
}
You are saying that you want an "or" statement inside switch, right? If you write case labels line by line you get "or statement", like this:
switch(variable){
case 1:
case 2:
case 3: {
//.. when variable equals to 1 or 2 or 3
}
}
So that, you can write your getMaxDaysInMonth method like this:
int getMaxDaysInMonth()
{
int daysInMonth = 0;
switch(month)
{
case 1:
case 3:
case 5:
case 7:
case 8:
case 10:
case 12:
daysInMonth = 31;
break;
case 2:
if(isLeapYear())
{
daysInMonth = 29;
}
else
{
daysInMonth = 28;
}
break;
case 4:
case 6:
case 9:
case 11:
daysInMonth = 30;
}
return daysInMonth;
}
Also, you are checking for the leap year incorrectly. Here's the correct way:
boolean isLeapYear(){
return (year % 4 == 0 && year % 100 != 0) || (year % 400 == 0);
}
And here's how you increment a day:
void incrementDate(){
if((day + 1) > getMaxDaysInMonth())
{
day = 1;
if (month == 12)
{
month = 1;
year++;
}else{
month++;
}
} else {
day++;
}
}
EDIT since we can't just use standard classes
If you have to use switch case, you should use it to set max day in current month and then check, if your current day more than this max day:
int maxDay;
switch (month) {
case 1: maxDay = 31; break;
case 2: maxDay = isLeapYear() ? 29 : 28; break;
case 3: maxDay = 31; break;
// ... other months ...
case 12: maxDay = 31; break;
default: throw new InvalidDateArgumentsException();
}
if (isLeapYear()) {
maxDay = 29;
}
if (day > maxDay) {
throw new InvalidDateArgumentsException();
}
How to know how many days has particular month of particular year?
String date = "2010-01-19";
String[] ymd = date.split("-");
int year = Integer.parseInt(ymd[0]);
int month = Integer.parseInt(ymd[1]);
int day = Integer.parseInt(ymd[2]);
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.set(Calendar.YEAR,year);
calendar.set(Calendar.MONTH,month);
int daysQty = calendar.getDaysNumber(); // Something like this
Java 8 and later
#Warren M. Nocos.
If you are trying to use Java 8's new Date and Time API, you can use java.time.YearMonth class. See Oracle Tutorial.
// Get the number of days in that month
YearMonth yearMonthObject = YearMonth.of(1999, 2);
int daysInMonth = yearMonthObject.lengthOfMonth(); //28
Test: try a month in a leap year:
yearMonthObject = YearMonth.of(2000, 2);
daysInMonth = yearMonthObject.lengthOfMonth(); //29
Java 7 and earlier
Create a calendar, set year and month and use getActualMaximum
int iYear = 1999;
int iMonth = Calendar.FEBRUARY; // 1 (months begin with 0)
int iDay = 1;
// Create a calendar object and set year and month
Calendar mycal = new GregorianCalendar(iYear, iMonth, iDay);
// Get the number of days in that month
int daysInMonth = mycal.getActualMaximum(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH); // 28
Test: try a month in a leap year:
mycal = new GregorianCalendar(2000, Calendar.FEBRUARY, 1);
daysInMonth= mycal.getActualMaximum(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH); // 29
Code for java.util.Calendar
If you have to use java.util.Calendar, I suspect you want:
int days = calendar.getActualMaximum(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
Code for Joda Time
Personally, however, I'd suggest using Joda Time instead of java.util.{Calendar, Date} to start with, in which case you could use:
int days = chronology.dayOfMonth().getMaximumValue(date);
Note that rather than parsing the string values individually, it would be better to get whichever date/time API you're using to parse it. In java.util.* you might use SimpleDateFormat; in Joda Time you'd use a DateTimeFormatter.
You can use Calendar.getActualMaximum method:
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.set(Calendar.YEAR, year);
calendar.set(Calendar.MONTH, month);
int numDays = calendar.getActualMaximum(Calendar.DATE);
java.time.LocalDate
From Java 1.8, you can use the method lengthOfMonth on java.time.LocalDate:
LocalDate date = LocalDate.of(2010, 1, 19);
int days = date.lengthOfMonth();
This is the mathematical way:
For year (e.g. 2012), month (1 to 12):
int daysInMonth = month !== 2 ?
31 - (((month - 1) % 7) % 2) :
28 + (year % 4 == 0 ? 1 : 0) - (year % 100 == 0 ? 1 : 0) + (year % 400 == 0 ? 1 : 0)
if (month == 4 || month == 6 || month == 9 || month == 11) {
daysInMonth = 30;
} else if (month == 2) {
daysInMonth = (leapYear) ? 29 : 28;
else {
daysInMonth = 31;
}
I would go for a solution like this:
int monthNr = getMonth();
final Month monthEnum = Month.of(monthNr);
int daysInMonth;
if (monthNr == 2) {
int year = getYear();
final boolean leapYear = IsoChronology.INSTANCE.isLeapYear(year);
daysInMonth = monthEnum.length(leapYear);
} else {
daysInMonth = monthEnum.maxLength();
}
If the month isn't February (92% of the cases), it depends on the month only and it is more efficient not to involve the year. This way, you don't have to call logic to know whether it is a leap year and you don't need to get the year in 92% of the cases.
And it is still clean and very readable code.
Simple as that,no need to import anything
public static int getMonthDays(int month, int year) {
int daysInMonth ;
if (month == 4 || month == 6 || month == 9 || month == 11) {
daysInMonth = 30;
}
else {
if (month == 2) {
daysInMonth = (year % 4 == 0) ? 29 : 28;
} else {
daysInMonth = 31;
}
}
return daysInMonth;
}
In Java8 you can use get ValueRange from a field of a date.
LocalDateTime dateTime = LocalDateTime.now();
ChronoField chronoField = ChronoField.MONTH_OF_YEAR;
long max = dateTime.range(chronoField).getMaximum();
This allows you to parameterize on the field.
Lets make it as simple if you don't want to hardcode the value of year and month and you want to take the value from current date and time:
Date d = new Date();
String myDate = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/yyyy").format(d);
int iDayFromDate = Integer.parseInt(myDate.substring(0, 2));
int iMonthFromDate = Integer.parseInt(myDate.substring(3, 5));
int iYearfromDate = Integer.parseInt(myDate.substring(6, 10));
YearMonth CurrentYear = YearMonth.of(iYearfromDate, iMonthFromDate);
int lengthOfCurrentMonth = CurrentYear.lengthOfMonth();
System.out.println("Total number of days in current month is " + lengthOfCurrentMonth );
// 1 means Sunday ,2 means Monday .... 7 means Saturday
//month starts with 0 (January)
MonthDisplayHelper monthDisplayHelper = new MonthDisplayHelper(2019,4);
int numbeOfDaysInMonth = monthDisplayHelper.getNumberOfDaysInMonth();
Following method will provide you the no of days in a particular month
public static int getNoOfDaysInAMonth(String date) {
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
cal.setTime(date);
return (cal.getActualMaximum(Calendar.DATE));
}
import java.text.ParseException;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.Date;
/*
* 44. Return the number of days in a month
* , where month and year are given as input.
*/
public class ex44 {
public static void dateReturn(int m,int y)
{
int m1=m;
int y1=y;
String str=" "+ m1+"-"+y1;
System.out.println(str);
SimpleDateFormat sd=new SimpleDateFormat("MM-yyyy");
try {
Date d=sd.parse(str);
System.out.println(d);
Calendar c=Calendar.getInstance();
c.setTime(d);
System.out.println(c.getActualMaximum(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH));
} catch (ParseException e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
dateReturn(2,2012);
}
}
public class Main {
private static LocalDate local=LocalDate.now();
public static void main(String[] args) {
int month=local.lengthOfMonth();
System.out.println(month);
}
}
The use of outdated Calendar API should be avoided.
In Java8 or higher version, this can be done with YearMonth.
Example code:
int year = 2011;
int month = 2;
YearMonth yearMonth = YearMonth.of(year, month);
int lengthOfMonth = yearMonth.lengthOfMonth();
System.out.println(lengthOfMonth);
You can use Calendar.getActualMaximum method:
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
calendar.set(Calendar.YEAR, year);
calendar.set(Calendar.MONTH, month-1);
int numDays = calendar.getActualMaximum(Calendar.DATE);
And month-1 is Because of month takes its original number of month while in method takes argument as below in Calendar.class
public int getActualMaximum(int field) {
throw new RuntimeException("Stub!");
}
And the (int field) is like as below.
public static final int JANUARY = 0;
public static final int NOVEMBER = 10;
public static final int DECEMBER = 11;
An optimal and performant variance:
public static int daysInMonth(int month, int year) {
if (month != 2) {
return 31 - (month - 1) % 7 % 2;
}
else {
if ((year & 3) == 0 && ((year % 25) != 0 || (year & 15) == 0)) { // leap year
return 29;
} else {
return 28;
}
}
}
For more details on the leap algorithm check here
Number of days in particular year - Java 8+ solution
Year.now().length()
An alternative solution is to use a Calendar object. Get the current date and set the day so it is the first of the month. Then add one month and take away one day to get the last day of the current month. Finally fetch the day to get the number of days in the month.
Calendar today = getInstance(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
Calendar currMonthLastDay = getInstance(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
currMonthLastDay.clear();
currMonthLastDay.set(YEAR, today.get(YEAR));
currMonthLastDay.set(MONTH, today.get(MONTH));
currMonthLastDay.set(DAY_OF_MONTH, 1);
currMonthLastDay.add(MONTH, 1);
currMonthLastDay.add(DAY_OF_MONTH, -1);
Integer daysInMonth = currMonthLastDay.get(DAY_OF_MONTH);
String MonthOfName = "";
int number_Of_DaysInMonth = 0;
//year,month
numberOfMonth(2018,11); // calling this method to assign values to the variables MonthOfName and number_Of_DaysInMonth
System.out.print("Number Of Days: "+number_Of_DaysInMonth+" name of the month: "+ MonthOfName );
public void numberOfMonth(int year, int month) {
switch (month) {
case 1:
MonthOfName = "January";
number_Of_DaysInMonth = 31;
break;
case 2:
MonthOfName = "February";
if ((year % 400 == 0) || ((year % 4 == 0) && (year % 100 != 0))) {
number_Of_DaysInMonth = 29;
} else {
number_Of_DaysInMonth = 28;
}
break;
case 3:
MonthOfName = "March";
number_Of_DaysInMonth = 31;
break;
case 4:
MonthOfName = "April";
number_Of_DaysInMonth = 30;
break;
case 5:
MonthOfName = "May";
number_Of_DaysInMonth = 31;
break;
case 6:
MonthOfName = "June";
number_Of_DaysInMonth = 30;
break;
case 7:
MonthOfName = "July";
number_Of_DaysInMonth = 31;
break;
case 8:
MonthOfName = "August";
number_Of_DaysInMonth = 31;
break;
case 9:
MonthOfName = "September";
number_Of_DaysInMonth = 30;
break;
case 10:
MonthOfName = "October";
number_Of_DaysInMonth = 31;
break;
case 11:
MonthOfName = "November";
number_Of_DaysInMonth = 30;
break;
case 12:
MonthOfName = "December";
number_Of_DaysInMonth = 31;
}
}
This worked fine for me.

I need to create a program that receives the dates from file dates.txt and outputs them to dates.out, if the date is valid, then it will provide a new format and the day that the date falls in the year, if not it will return "Invalid date: (original date and format)" it seems that I have it all completed below, but I keep getting the error below when I type in the correct file name, im not sure what the problem is since I'm calling for a valid int.

You need to get the input as a String
"2/4/05" Them parse it
String dateString = input.nextLine();
String[] tokens = dateString.split("/");
int month = Integer.parseInt(tokens[0]);
int day = Integer.parseInt(tokens[1]);
int year = Integer.parseInt(tokens[2])
You're getting the error because of the /'s in the date.
