computes the number of months, weeks, and days in a given amount of days java

can someone help me with the code

[azure marsh]

try to think about it mathematically, how would you tell from a number of days, how many months, weeks, and days they are

[full saffron]

I have a problem with writing the equation

[azure marsh]

lets start with the months, lets say you have 90 days, how many months does that have?

[full saffron]

3

[azure marsh]

how do you get from 90 to 3?

[full saffron]

There are 30 days in a month

so 90 days is three month

[azure marsh]

yep, so you would divide 90 by 30 to get 3

[full saffron]

yeah how i can right that

Sorry but i'm a beginner

[azure marsh]

no problem! In Java you would divide by doing: 90 / 30.

assuming you use integers a division always rounds down

[full saffron]

like this ?

[azure marsh]

so if you had 105/30, which technically would equal 3.5, since you divide integers and rounding down 3.5 would equal 3

[azure marsh]

pretty much

[full saffron]

okey what about weeks

i know how its work but i don't know how to write it

[azure marsh]

i would remove the days ,that are accounted for by the months, from the total number of days, and then do the same thing you did with the months, only with 7

[full saffron]

how can i do that

[azure marsh]

days -= months * 30

[azure marsh]

try not using the %365 at first

since its not asked for in the question

[full saffron]

so how can i write that without %365

[azure marsh]

just remove it, you dont need it at all

int months = day/30;

[full saffron]

what about days

[azure marsh]

lets do weeks first

at the moment you get the total amount of weeks, but you only want the weeks that are left over after the maximum number of months are accounted for

[full saffron]

yeah how can i remove months

[azure marsh]

.

[full saffron]

under int months ?

[azure marsh]

yes

[full saffron]

okey

[azure marsh]

now basically the same thing with weeks, and then day will be the days that are left over

[full saffron]

day -= weeks * 7 ?

what should i write here

[azure marsh]

from the variable day you have removed the days that are accounted for by the months and the weeks, what is left?

[full saffron]

the days

[azure marsh]

exactly

[full saffron]

how can i write that

[azure marsh]

int days = day;

[full saffron]
