Hi ! I want to write a java program that calculate age. What code do i need to use to let the user enter their birth year? (input method i think). Thanks

If the user is male you can probably just politely ask; if the user is female you probably have to threaten her with a gun.

kind regards,

A Scanner object would work nicely. As far as "what code" -- that's up to you since it's your assignment. What have you tried so far, and what has been the result?

Sorry i'm kinda stupid since i'm a beginner but what is "scanner"? :D , It's not an assignment :D, i saw my teacher's example code and i want to write a program that is similar to it (since i fall way behind in my class), this is my teachers code:

[COLOR="Green"]import javax.swing.*;
public class Calculation{
  public static void main(String []args){
     [COLOR="Red"]new Calculation()[/COLOR];
  }
  public Calculation(){
    Cube c= new Cube();
    int i=5;
   [COLOR="Red"] int squareIt = c.square(i);[/COLOR]
    System.out.println(squareIt);
    [COLOR="Red"]int cubeIt = c.cube(i);[/COLOR]
    System.out.println(cubeIt);
  }
}

class Cube{
  public Cube(){}
  [COLOR="Red"]public int square(int i)[/COLOR]{
    return i*i;
  }
 [COLOR="Red"] public int cube(int i)[/COLOR]{
    return i*i*i;
  [/COLOR]}
}

But if you can explain to me how those red lines work then nevermind the assignment :D Thanks. please excuse my stupidity

Please edit your code above to use code tags. My signature below will explain this.

What you're asking is how to call methods and constructors in Java, and the way to learn this is through your text books and notes. If you haven't found the Sun tutorials, please have a look as it will explain this better than any of us can:

Trail: Learning the Java Language (The Java™ Tutorials)

Best of luck!
