Exercise 3.4

QUESTION

The purpose of this exercise is to take code from a previous exercise and encapsulate it in a method that takes parameters. You should start with a working solution to Exercise 2.2.

1. Write a method called printAmerican that takes the day, date, month and year as parameters and that prints them in American format.
2. Test your method by invoking it from main and passing appropriate arguments. The output should look something like this (except that the date might be different):

          Saturday, July 16, 2011

      3. Once you have debugged printAmerican, write another method called printEuropean that prints           the date in European format.

SOLUTION

public class ThinkJava3_Ex4 {

//Step 1

public static void printAmerican (String day, int date, String month, int year){

System.out.println(day+", "+month+" "+date+", "+year);

}

//Step 2

public static void main (String []args){

printAmerican("Sat", 2, "Jan", 2016);

//Step 4

printEuropean("Sat", 2, "Jan", 2016);

}

//Step 3

public static void printEuropean (String day, int date, String month, int year){

System.out.println(day+" "+date+" "+month+", "+year);

}

}
