I am creating a simple program that allows the user to see how many days between the months they set.
For example From January - March
I can get the current day of the month using this:
Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH
What I want is how can I supply a value in the month?
I have this simple code:
public static void machineProblemTwo(int startMonth, int endMonth) {
int[] month = new int[0];
int date = 2015;
for(int x = startMonth; x <= endMonth; x++) {
System.out.println(x + " : " + getMaxDaysInMonth(x,date));
}
}
public static int getMaxDaysInMonth(int month, int year){
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
int days = cal.getActualMaximum(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH); // how can I supply the month here?
return days;
}
How can i do that? Can you help me with this?
Use the constructor for GregorianCalendar
where you pass the year, month and day. Don't forget that the months go from 0 to 11 (0 for January, 11 for December).
public static int numberOfDaysInMonth(int month, int year) {
Calendar monthStart = new GregorianCalendar(year, month, 1);
return monthStart.getActualMaximum(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
}
