Thread: for-each loop and a switch statement

Hey I'm trying to Write a class called MonthTest.java that uses the enum Month and outputs the
following:
January has 30 days.
February has 28 days.
March 31 days.
…
December 31 days.

I'm trying to have MonthTest.java use a for-each loop and a switch statement.

 
public enum Month
{
	JANUARY ,
	FEBRUARY,
	MARCH,
	APRIL,
	MAY,
	JUNE,
	JULY,
	AUGUST,
	SEPTEMBER,
	OCTOBER,
	NOVEMBER,
	DECEMBER
 
}

 
public class MonthTest {
	 Month month;
 
 
    public void Month(Month month) {
        this.month = month;
    }
 
		    public void tellItLikeItIs() {
		        switch (month) {
		            case JANUARY:
		                System.out.println("January has 30 days.");
		                break;
		            case FEBRUARY:
		                System.out.println("February has 28 days.");
		                break;
		            case MARCH:
		                System.out.println("March has 31 days.");
		                break;
		            case APRIL:
		                System.out.println("April has 30 days.");
		                break;
		            case MAY:
		                System.out.println("May has 31 days.");
		                break;
		            case JUNE:
		                System.out.println("June has 30 days.");
		                break;
		            case JULY:
		                System.out.println("July has 31 days.");
		                break;
		            case AUGUST:
		                System.out.println("August has 31 days.");
		                break;
		            case SEPTEMBER:
		                System.out.println("September has 30 days.");
		                break;
		            case OCTOBER:
		                System.out.println("October has 31 days.");
		                break;
		            case NOVEMBER:
		                System.out.println("November has 30 days.");
		                break;
		            case DECEMBER:
		                System.out.println("December has 31 days.");
		                break;
	                default:
	                System.out.println("error.");
		        }
		    }
	            public static void main(String[] args) {
 
	            	for (Month d : Month.values()){
	        			System.out.println(d);
	        			}	            	
 
	        }
	}

What I'm trying to figure out is how do I loop through the enum with the switch statement and output it through the for loop

You have a public enum class named Month. Its members are constants that represent the months of the year.

You have a public class named MonthTest.

The MonthTest class has

1. An instance variable of type Month named month.
   
   
2. A month setter method named Month(). I think that "Month" is a terrible choice for a method in this class, since we mere humans might get confused by the existence of an enum class with the same name. Since this method's purpose is to give a value to the instance variable month, why not call it setMonth() or some such thing?
   
   
3. A method named tellItLikeItIs() that prints out the information about the value of the month instance variable.
   
   
4. A main method that has a loop that lets the variable d take on values from the Month enum class.

So, here's one way to complete the assignment using the classes and their variables and methods that you have already defined.

1. In main(), create an MonthTest object. Call the object mt or some such thing. (Maybe you can think of a name that is more descriptive and less cryptic.)
   
   
2. Inside the loop that lets d go through the values of the Month enum:
   
   • Use the month setter method of the mt object to set its instance variable month to the value of d
     
   • Use the tellItLikeItIs() method of the mt object to print the information.

Cheers!
