Write a program that takes a date as input and outputs the date's season. The input is a string to represent the month and an int to represent the day.

Ex: If the input is April 11, the output is:

spring
In addition, check if the string and int are valid (an actual month and day).

Ex: If the input is invalid, the output is:

invalid
The dates for each season are:
spring: March 20 - June 20
summer: June 21 - September 21
autumn: September 22 - December 20
winter: December 21 - March 19

My code is constantly outputting 'invalid, regardless of the date input.

import java. util. Scanner;

public class LabProgram {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner scnr = new Scanner(System. in);
String inputMonth;
int inputDay;

inputMonth = scnr. next();
inputDay = scnr. nextInt();
if((inputMonth=="March"&&in putDay>19)||inputMonth=="April"| |inputMonth=="May"||(inputMonth=="J une"&&inputDay<21))
{
System. out. println("spring");
}
else if((inputMonth=="June"&&inp utDay>20)||inputMonth=="July"||i nputMonth=="August"||(inputMonth==" September"&&inputDay<22) )
{
System. out. println("summer");
}
else if((inputMonth=="September"&&am p;inputDay>21)||inputMonth=="Oct ober"||inputMonth=="November"||(inp utMonth=="December"&&inputD ay<21))
{
System. out. println("autumn");
}
else if((inputMonth=="December"&& ;inputDay>20)||inputMonth=="Janu ary"||inputMonth=="February"||(inpu tMonth=="March"&&inputDay&l t;20))
{
System. out. println("winter");
}
else
{
System. out. println("invalid");

} }
}

The problem here is you are comparing month names with == , in case of strings there is a difference between comparing with == and .equals. So I have changed that code please check now

Program:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class LabProgram {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Scanner scnr = new Scanner(System.in);

String inputMonth;

int inputDay;

System.out.print("Enter month:");

inputMonth = scnr.next();

System.out.print("Enter day of month");

inputDay = scnr.nextInt();

if((inputMonth.equalsIgnoreCase("march")&&inputDay>19)||inputMonth.equalsIgnoreCase("april")||inputMonth=="may"||(inputMonth.equalsIgnoreCase("june")&&inputDay<21))

{

System.out.println("spring");

}

else if((inputMonth.equalsIgnoreCase("june")&&inputDay>20)||inputMonth.equalsIgnoreCase("july")||inputMonth=="august"||(inputMonth.equalsIgnoreCase("september")&&inputDay<22))

{

System.out.println("summer");

}

else if((inputMonth.equalsIgnoreCase("september")&&inputDay>21)||inputMonth.equalsIgnoreCase("october")||inputMonth.equalsIgnoreCase("november")||(inputMonth.equalsIgnoreCase("December")&&inputDay<21))

{

System.out.println("autumn");

}

else if((inputMonth.equalsIgnoreCase("december")&&inputDay>20)||inputMonth.equalsIgnoreCase("january")||inputMonth.equalsIgnoreCase("february")||(inputMonth.equalsIgnoreCase("march")&&inputDay<20))

{

System.out.println("winter");

}

else

{

System.out.println("invalid");

} }

}

Output:

research the organization

compare your skills and qualifications

prepare responses

plan what to wear

plan what to bring

pay attention to non- verbal communication

the benefits of raising bc’s minimum wage to $15 through a

series of pre-announced staged increases far outweigh the likely

costs. claims that such an increase will lead to massive job losses

in low-wage sectors of the economy are not credible.

• an increase to $15 would result in some job losses. however,

the likely impact is less than a 1 per cent reduction in the overall

provincial employment rate, and a 7.6 per cent reduction in the

employment rate for those currently making between $10.25

and $15 per hour.

• the large job loss impacts predicted by some opponents of

minimum wages misrepresent the existing economic research. in

reading and using that research, it is important to recognize that

estimates showing job loss effects of minimum wage increases

apply only to teenagers. estimated effects for young adult and

adult workers range from insignificant to non-existent.

• focusing on teenage workers plays up an inaccurate stereotype

about who earns very low wages in bc and leads to exaggerated

claims about job losses. only 26 per cent of those currently making

between $10.25 and $12 are teenagers, and only 5 per cent

of those making between $12 and $15 are teenagers.
