Month.java

Question

With the errors shown, how do I fix the following program...
w/ the errors already fixed & shown within the program?
This is only my first semester in Java & I'm still trying to
get familiar w/ it!
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class Month
     private String Month;
     private String Days;
     public Month(pMonth, pDays)
          month = pMonth;
          days = pDays;
     public int getDays()
          if (month==1) { Name = "January"; days=31;}
          else if (month==2) { Name = "February"; days=28; }
          else if (month==3) { Name = "March" ; days=31; }
          else (month==12) {Name = "December"; days=31; }
<identifier> expected
     public PayCheck(pName, pWage, pHour)
^
')' expected
     }........(second to last brace)
^
cannot resolve symbol
symbol : class pName
location: class PayCheck
     public PayCheck(pName, pWage, pHour)
^
missing method body, or declare abstract
     public PayCheck(pName, pWage, pHour)
^

Answer 1

hi, you have quite many errors with your program... that's bad m'kay
i'd reccommend you some tutorials (left column of this page holds link called Tutorials, that would be nice place to start)
or just start from the first cup of java:
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/getStarted/cupojava/index.html
some of it you allready know, but most is probably new...
and also i'd recommend you to see java coding conventions.
it's recommended to write class names with leading uppercase letter, variables and methods with leading lower case, constants with all uppercase etc...
about your code you have shown:
i don't understand why you had to import JOptionPnae.
i'd reccommend using array with monthnames, like that:String[] mNames = {"jan", "feb", "mar", "apr", "mai",
     "jun", "jul", "aug", "sep", "okt", "nov", "det"};
name = mNames[month];
switch (days) {
case 1: days = 28; break;
case 3:;
case 5:;
case 8:;
case 10: days = 30; break;
default: days = 31; break;
}you see that, w/ case, this if-else ladder is not needed, and not as much code needs to be written.
good luck with your first semester of java
