TH CODE :

import java.util.Scanner;
/**
 *
 */
public class q {

    public static void main(String[] args) {

       int month=0;
       int day =0;
       int daysInMonth;
       int year=0;
       boolean monthValid, yearValid, dayValid;
       boolean leapYear;
       
       
     
        Scanner kbd = new Scanner(System.in);
        
        // Progams information
        System.out.println("Date Checker") ;
        System.out.println("------------");
        System.out.println();
    
        System.out.println();
        System.out.println("I will check if the date you enter is valid.");
        System.out.println();
        System.out.println("Enter the date below. Use the form /day month year/");
        System.out.println("(e.g. 29 February 1066).");
        day = kbd.nextInt(); month = kbd.nextInt(); year = kbd.nextInt();kbd.nextLine();
// leap year

    leapYear =(((year % 4) == 0) && ((year % 100) != 0) || ((year % 400) == 0));

// number days in month
    if ((month == 1) || (month == 3) || (month==7) || (month == 8) || ( month == 10) || ( month == 12))
    daysInMonth=31;
    if ((month == 4) || (month == 6) || (month == 9) || ( month == 11))
    daysInMonth=30;
    if (month == 2)
    daysInMonth=28;
    if (leapYear)
    daysInMonth=29;
    {
    System.out.println(day+" "+month+" "+year+" is a valid date!");
    }
    else if 
    {
    System.out.println(day+" "+month+" "+year+" is not a valid date!");
    }


        
    
           
    }
}

You can store them in array of string or enumerator and access them using the index. Like:

String[] months = {"Jan","Feb",....};
//then to get the 1st month it will be months[0]...

thanx man for the reply but i haver an extra question...

if i want just to make sure if the validation.. i would right this if - else statement right ?

 if (year>=1990) && (month==String months) && ( month==daysInMonth)
    {
    System.out.println(day+" "+month+" "+year+" is a valid date!");
    }
    else if (year<1990) || (month!=String months) && ( month!=daysInMonth)
    {
    System.out.println(day+" "+month+" "+year+" is not a valid date!");
    }

if (year>=1990) && (month==String months) && ( month==daysInMonth)

You are missing a close ' ) '

Edit - And an opening '( ' trace your parenthesis in the statement.

this statement is wrong (month==String months)
If you want to check like that, then I advice using array list and to check if a month is in the list just months.contains(month) this returns true if the month is there and false if not

thank u very much but how can i see if month doesnt contains??

[smohd]

You put all your month in array list say months, then i check you can say If(months.contains(month)) and it will return true or false

i did everything but i had this problem i tried to fix but i couldnt

q.java:55: reached end of file while parsing

You have to post your updated code, that problem is due to mismatch brakets {}

    }
    if ((year<1990)

    System.out.println(year+ " is not a valid year!");
    }
    if (month=!daysInMonth)
    {
    System.out.println(day+" is not a valid date for "+ month+" "+year);
    else
    {
    System.out.println(day+" "+month+" "+year+" is not a valid date!");
    }
    
    }
}

and thats a new problem MAAAN java isso hard !!!




q.java:60: 'else' without 'if'
else

[Fuzzyness]

leapYear =(((year % 4) == 0) && ((year % 100) != 0) || ((year % 400) == 0)); I believe you have 1 too many ' ( ' at the first one -> (((year
Mis read it my apology, see below though.

edit- Also:

if (month=!daysInMonth)
    {
    System.out.println(day+" is not a valid date for "+ month+" "+year);
    else
    {
    System.out.println(day+" "+month+" "+year+" is not a valid date!");
    }

You are missing a closing ' } ' for the if statement there

Remove opening { at line 19 of your updated code, seems to be the problem
Your new problem is because you didnt close if (month=!daysInMonth){

bro when i deleted the brackets it said


q.java:35: ';' expected
leapYear =((year % 4) == 0) && ((year % 100) != 0) || ((year % 400) == 0));

i did everything and now its saying


q.java:35: ';' expected
leapYear =((year % 4) == 0) && ((year % 100) != 0) || ((year % 400) == 0));

Yes, put that ' ( ' , I misread that line, lots of parenthesis there got jumbled. See smohd and my edit.
