I'm trying to get the program to ask the user for a date but I keep getting my system's date and time in the output.. It's actually a month faster then my computer. Not sure if that is a problem.

public class Date {
	private int month; // instance variable for value of the date’s month
	private int day; // instance variable for value of the date’s day
	private int year; // instance variable for the value of the dates
	private int time; // instance variable for the value of the date's time
	
	// Default constructor: set the instance variables to default values: month = 1; day = 1; year = 1900;
	public Date() {
		month = 1;
		day = 1;
		year = 1900;
	}

	// Constructor to set the date
	// The instance variables month, day, and year are set according to received parameters.
	public Date(int month, int day, int year) {
		this.month = month;
		this.day = day;
		this.year = year;
	}

	// Method to set the date
	// The instance variables month, day, and year are set according to received parameters.
	public void setDate(int month, int day, int year)

	{
		this.month = month;
		this.day = day;
		this.year = year;
	}

	// Method to return the date’s month value
	public int getMonth() {
		return month;
	}

	// Method to return the date’s day value
	public int getDay() {
		return day;
	}	
	// Method to return the date's time value
	public double getTime()
	{
		return time;
	}

	// Method to return the date’s year value
	public int getYear() {
		return year;
	}

	// Override of inherited toString() method to return the date in the form of mm-dd-yyyy
	public String toString() {
		return (month + "-" + day + "-" + year);
	}
}

Where ?

[JavaProbie]

I guess I need to know where in the code it is reading it from my machine and change to scan for user input.

[pbl]

Yes that would help But as it is your code you;ll find it faster than I can.

[JavaProbie]

I also need to override the setDate method.

[pbl]

if you say so
But, just as a hint, you'll need to extend the actual class if you want to overload one of its method

[JavaProbie]

I believe this extends my date class

063 import java.text.DateFormat;
064 import java.util.Calendar;
065 import java.util.GregorianCalendar;
066
067 public class ExtendedDate extends Date
068 {

this is an argument and I was given the methods but had to set the arguments. I'm trying to change the argument to scan for input.

You believe ? You wrote this code yes or no ? Is this your date class ?

[JavaProbie]

Yes, I BELIEVE this extends my date class. You just realized that you didn't see that part of the code and are now resorting to insults to compensate for your mistake and for your small penis. If you log on here to make yourself feel superior, please go back to your late night porn and give it a tug until your finished and then it the rack. You are beyond useless. My dogs have a better chance of helping me then you.
