Sundays

[spc197]

I dont know how to find out if a date given to java is a sunday.

The Date is in the form of three variables which are strings

The three variables are Day / Month / Year

Hello SPC,
You'll need to format it with a variety of methods.
In looking at the java 1.3.1 api, I found that the DATE class is deprecated, and CALENDAR is now utilized.

You can read all about the Calendar class and its method calls at:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/ap.../Calendar.html

Truthfully, I have no quick answer for you, except to suggest reading the above to figure out which variables are best for you and how to set them.

It looks like the Calendar class works with integer variables. So, you'll definitely need to reformat your Strings to integers.

If you have a String input from a user, you can convert it to an integer like this:

String day = "7";
int sunday = 7;
/*
if you try int sum = day + sunday, you'll throw an error because you're trying to add a string to a number;
so you need to convert String day to an integer, like this:
*/
String day = "7";
int day = Integer.parseInt(day);
int sunday = 7;
int sum = day + sunday;
System.out.println(sum);

//when compiled and run, you'll get the sum of int day and int sunday: 14.

PS: Trying to convert it back?? // integer to a String ?
String day = "7"; // an existing string variable
int day = Integer.parseInt(day); //converts the string to an integer
String newday = Integer.toString(day);
