Help writing java code

[jo15765]

I have this code thus far:

public class Date 
{
	int month;
	int day;
	int year;

	public Date(int month,int day,int year)
	{
		this.month=month;
		this.day=day;
		this.year=year;
		System.out.println("Date object constructor for date "+month+"/"+day+"/"+year);
	}
	public static void main(String args[])
	{
		Date d=new Date(11,27,1988);
		for(int i=1;i<=365;i++)
		{
			String date=d.nextDay();
			System.out.println("Incremented Date: "+date);
		}
	}

	public String nextDay()
	{

		this.day = day + 1;
		if(month <=7)
		{
			if(month &#37; 2 ==0)
			{
				if(month==2)
				{
					if(year%4 == 0)
					{
						if(day>29)
						{
							System.out.println("Day "+day+" invalid. Set to day 1.");
							this.day=1;
							this.month=month+1;
							if(month>12)
							{
								this.month=1;
								this.year=year+1;
							}
						}
					}
					else if(day>28)
					{
						System.out.println("Day "+day+" invalid. Set to day 1.");
						this.day=1;
						this.month=month+1;
						if(month>12)
						{
							this.month=1;
							this.year=year+1;
						}
					}
				}
				if( day>30)
				{
					System.out.println("Day "+day+" invalid. Set to day 1.");
					this.day=1;
					this.month=month+1;
					if(this.month>12)
					{
						this.month=1;
						this.year=year+1;
					}
				}
			}
			else
			{
				if( day>31)
				{
					System.out.println("Day "+day+" invalid. Set to day 1.");
					this.day=1;
					month=month+1;
					if(month>12)
					{
						month=1;
						year=year+1;
					}
				}
			}
		}
		else
		{
			if(month % 2 ==0)
			{
				if( day>31)
				{
					System.out.println("Day "+day+" invalid. Set to day 1.");
					this.day=1;
					month=month+1;
					if(month>12)
					{
						month=1;
						year=year+1;
					}
				}
			}
			else
			{
				if( day>30)
				{
					System.out.println("Day "+day+" invalid. Set to day 1.");
					this.day=1;
					month=month+1;
					if(month>12)
					{
						month=1;
						year=year+1;
					}
				}
			}
		}
		return this.month+"/"+this.day+"/"+year;
	}

}

What I need to do from here is write a seperate .java file that will ask a user to input a month day and year, and then ask how many days from the date entered to increment. I am STUCK on how to code that piece, can a more elite programmer assist in the coding of this?

Hi!

First of all, you should avoid to name your class Date. It is not a good coding style naming classes after a java object class.

Next, avoid to use too many nested if and else statements. Instead use switch/case statements wherever you can.

Now to your problem. If I get you right, all you need is to write is a new Java class containing a main method (similiar to the one you already have in your Date class). Read in the user input, call the Date's class constructor with current date as parameters, code a FOR loop and call nextDay method in Date class as often as the user specified.
