Help in java program

  Asked By: Lorraine    Date: Mar 05    Category: Java    Views: 890
  

I am writing a program for my Java Class. I have the program
written, and it compiles and does just about everything I need it
two except for three things I don't understand. I have to determine
age at graduation, which may seem easy to most of you, but if you
look at my program, you will see it is somewhat complicated for
a "newbie". Second I have to put a exception catch block in for
number format exceptions. Third, I have to convert times to
milliseconds....I have worked on this all week, and my back is
against the wall for a deadline. We have no tutors, nor a professor
that understands what she is teaching. So I have no help! I would be
most greatful if one of you guys could help me!

You have required function in the Java itself.
you can use date function.
Perhaps date is returned in the millisecond in some fu
nction w.e.f 1970.
you can divide/multiply it and can get the result.

Your program  is similar to the following. Perhaps you can see how it works
and modify your code.
Unless you put  the text of your code in your email, we can't see it either.
This has a
try{

}catch(){
}
block.
String s = "111";
int n = -1
try{
n = Integer.parseInt(s);
}catch(NumberFormatException nfe){
System.err.println(nfe.getMessage());
}
block.


If you are using the Date class  for your time,
Date myDate = new Date();
long timeInMilliseconds = myDate.getTime();

If you are using the Calendar class for your time,
Calendar myCalendar = Calendar .getInstance();
Date myDate = myCalendar .getTime();
long timeInMilliseconds = myDate.getTime();
