Need help with Java.

[h7779]

I am not here to ask for someone to code the whole program for me. However, I am currently stuck. I have an assignment and that assignment is to take the user's input and output the date for tomorrow and yesterday including leap year. 

 

I do not know where to start. All I need is like an "outline" sort of say, then from there I can get the "ball rolling."

 

Thank you

 

FYI, this is my first programming class.

as for the readout, you need "System.out.println()"

 

as for reading... guessing something "System.in"

 

otherwise, its just a matter of applying logic.

also, first programming class as in first year of taking programming, or as in "very first programming assignment"

 

because in the second case, i want to punch him in the face...

Yeah... the logic part is where I am trying to wrap my head around.

as a default, your first program should be a "hello world"

 

as for the needed logic, this should get you rolling a bit: http://www.tutorialspoint.com/java/java_date_time.htm

 

EDIT: the guy at least taught about the syntaxes and control structures right?

Sorry, that's my fault for not explaining it clearly. We have done 4 minilab which is like small and sort program. This is our first real program.

ah. mkay. less punch-teeth worthy then.

 

but still... this is like something you get assigned as an extra task when the regular stuff is done...

 

basicly, what i'd do (and i'm a terrible programmer...) is make two date parameters.

 

you ask for a date in a specific format. (DD-MM-YYYY if you're metric, MM-DD-YYYY if you're imperial, and YYYY-MM-DD if you're a real programmer)

then you put that into the two date parameters. (this'll help: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4216745/java-string-to-date-conversion )

from one, you substract a day (probably gonna have to go trough the "milliseconds since midnight jan 1 1970" notation... good luck with that one..)

to one, you add a day (same method, but adding instead of substracting)

then you use the toString method to print both of them.

Thank you for that info!
