Trouble with exceptions

[gnarkill10]

Having problems with runnning the exceptions in my program. Can someone please explain if I have done this corrrectly.

Here is my Main:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class DateTester{
	public static void main(String[] args) 
	{
		//The String variable to store user input. 
		String input;
		//int x=1;


			try
			{
				//Get the user input from the keyboard
				Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
				//Prompt the user to enter a date in the format: MM/DD/YYYY. This will then use delimiter ("/") we created in Date class.
				System.out.println("Enter date to parse (MM/DD/YYYY format):");
				input = keyboard.nextLine();
				//Object created to reference the Date class. Holds Private variables for: Month, Day, & Year
				Date dc = new Date(input);
				//Print the date to the screen
				System.out.println("The date is: " + input);
				System.out.println("The month is: " + dc.getMonth());
				System.out.println("The day is: " + dc.getDay());
				System.out.println("The year is: " + dc.getYear());
				//x=2;
			}
			catch (IllegalArgumentException e)
			{
				System.out.println(e.getMessage());
			}
	}
}

Date class

import java.util.StringTokenizer;

/**Get the month, and return the  field**/
public class Date
{
	private String month;  //Variable to hold the value for month.
	private String day;  //Variable to hold the value for day.
	private String year;  //Variable to hold the value for year.
	
	//create the month constructor
	public Date(String dateStr)
	{
		/**	this.month = month;
		*	this.day = day;
		*	this.year = year;**/
		//Create a string tokenizer object.
		//identify the delimeter for the string as "/"
		StringTokenizer strTokenizer = new StringTokenizer(dateStr, "/");

		//Extract the month token
		month = strTokenizer.nextToken();
		//Extract the day token
		day = strTokenizer.nextToken();
		//Extract the year token
		year = strTokenizer.nextToken();
		
	}


	/*************************************************
	**		getMonth, getDay, & getYear Methods		**
	*************************************************/
	
	//getMonth Method and return the month field
		public String getMonth()
		{
			return month;
		}
		
	//getDay Method and return the day field
		public String getDay()
		{
			return day;
		}
		
	//getYear Method and return the year field
		public String getYear()
		{
			return year;
		}
}

Exception class (one of)

public class DayException(String dateStr)	
{
	public int DayException (String day){//Create the if statement pseudo code
		if (day < 1 && day > 31){
			throw new IllegalArgumentException ("Invalid Day. Enter again");
		}
	}
}

}

If you think that's valid Java code, you need to go back to the fundamental tutorials.

No I do not think it is valid code. Why would I post it here if it was valid code, if I had the answer I wouldn't need your help.

My main problem I think is getting the exception classes to be throw to my main method. Thank you for your help :)

You're putting the cart before the horse. Go through the tutorial trail I linked. All of it.
