Java Constructor Question

[ashly]

Hi,

I am new to java. I need to define a class called Day with a default constructor.

Below are my code, please let me know whether is correct or not.

public class Day
{
	private int dayNumber; 

	public Day()
	{
		dayNumber = 1;
	}//End constructor		
}//End class Day

Thanks.

Looks good to me.

Looks good to me.

Does it really fulfill as a deault constructor?

A default constructor is a constructor that takes no arguments. Your constructor takes no arguments, so it is a default constructor.

More technically, a default constructor is automatically created by the compiler when you do not specify any constructor, but I don't think that applies here.

if I having a question on "an input function that reads the day as an integer", does that means get input from user?

Below code suite the above requirement?

import java.io.*;

public class IntDayDemo
{
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
		int dayNum;

		System.out.print("Please Enter Day in Integer: ");
		try
		{
            		BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
	            	String input = reader.readLine();
            
            		dayNum = Integer.parseInt(input);

			if ((dayNum>= 1) && (dayNum <=31))
			{
	        		System.out.println("Day entered: " + dyNum);
			}
			else
			{
				System.out.println("Invalid Day Entered !");
			}
		}

        	catch (IOException e) 
		{
        		System.out.println("I did not get your day.");
        	}
		
		catch(NumberFormatException nFE) 
		{ 
			System.out.println("Day Entered is not an Integer !"); 
		}
	}
}

Thanks.

hi ashly

your code above will not compile, because the variable dyNum is not declared!

System.out.println("Day entered: " + dyNum);

but assuming that you mean the variable dayNum then your code will prompt for an integer input. so i would answer your question "does that means get input from user?" with yes.

Sorry, typo error. Should be "dayNum".

Is the above code meets the requirement "an input function that reads the day as an integer"?
