Question
Write a method called inputBirthday that accepts a Scanner for the console as a parameter and prompts the user to enter a month, day, and year of birth, then prints the birthdate in a suitable format. Here is an example dialogue with the user:
On what day of the month were you born? 8
What is the name of the month in which you were born? May
During what year were you born? 1981
You were born on May 8, 1981. You’re mighty old!
Answer
Program:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Ch03Ex14
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
inputBirthday(keyboard);
}
public static void inputBirthday(Scanner keyboard)
{
System.out.print("On what day of the month were you born? ");
int day = keyboard.nextInt();
System.out.print("What is the name of the month in which you were born? ");
String month = keyboard.next();
System.out.print("During what year were you born? ");
int year = keyboard.nextInt();
System.out.println("You were born on " + month + " " + day + ", " + year + ". You're mighty old!");
}
}
Output:
On what day of the month were you born? 8
What is the name of the month in which you were born? May
During what year were you born? 1981
You were born on May 8, 1981. You're mighty old!
