java return help

[mukul9999]

i am asked to use a method to return the age of a user who entered a year between 1960 and 2000.
Can someone design the method ONLY showing the exact code used for retruning the age.

i can do this in c++.. i cant tell you how to do it in java.

int year;
int age;

cout<<What year were you?<<endl;
cin>>year;

if ((year>=1960) && (year<=2000))
{
cout<<you are this old=;
cout<<2009-year<<endl;
}

its not perfect but thats how it will look.. the if statement will work in java

How are they to enter the code?

pseudocode

public return_data_type getAge(data_type birthYear){
  currentYear = 2009; // look into calendar class.

  age = currentYear - birthYear;

  return age;
}

Sounds too much like homework here. What you have you done yourself to solve this?

[veens4444]

public int getAge(int cage)
{
Date d=new Date();
int cryear=d.getYear()+1900;
return (cryear-cage);
}

This will work fine ,it will work for any year,don't hard code the current year ,this is not good practice ,u can put the condition to check birth year is in between 1960-2000 ok.

this will work fine for who born after 1900 only.
Thank you
