Methods: Calendar

Learning Objective(s)

1. Reinforce repetition
2. Learn to use methods
3. Learn to manipulate strings

Overview of the Program

Time for something new. You are to write a program that outputs a calendar (similar to what is seen in the sample output) The user inputs a calendar year and the day of the week that Jan. 1st falls on (between 0 and 6). Your program then outputs the calendar.

Details

1. Write a method monthName that is sent a number (between 1 and 12) and returns a string that contains the name of the month (such as April)
2. Write a method daysInMonth that is sent a month (numbers between 1 and 12) and a year and returns the number of days in that month. One of the hints has specific data to help.
3. Write a method displayMonth that is sent a month, year, and a third integer (between 0 and 6 that states the first day of the month). This method outputs the calendar of that month.
4. Use those methods to display the entire calendar of the year (see the hints about program design for more details)
5. Call your program Calendar.

1. Program design
2. Help with the name of the month

4. Help with displaying a month

Optional improvements

Optional improvements should ONLY be worked on once the program is completing working. In addition, the work is to be done on your own with little if any help for lab assistants or the instructor. You must score at least 90% on the rest of the program to earn any additional points

• Do not require the user to input the day of the week that Jan. 1st falls on. Compute it instead.
