Reference no: EM13167016

You will create a Java class named Date that is used to work with date operations. Then you will write a Driver to test each method you wrote in the Dare class and display, on the screen, a clear explanation and result of each test.

For documentation, use inline comments AND javadoc comments above each class and above each method. Use the tags : @author, @version, @param, @return

Mandatory methods for the Date class:

- At least three constructor methods, including the default constructor and the copy constructor.

- A toString( ) method.

- An equals( ) method.

- A compareTo( ) method.

- an add( ) method that adds an integer number of days to an existing Date and returns the new Date object:

Date myDate = new Date(3, 20, 2014);

Date result;

result = Date.add(15);

System.out.println(result);

- A subtract( ) method that subtracts an integer number of days from an exisiting Date and returns a new Date object.

Date myDate = new Date(3, 20, 2014);

Date result;

result = myDate.subtract(5);

System.out.println(result);

A dateDiff( ) methods that calculates and returns the number of days between the parameters and the Date object.

Date dateOne = new Date(3,15, 2014);

Date dateTwo = new Date(4, 18, 2014);

int difference;

difference = dateOne.difference(dateTwo);

System.out.println("the difference between " + dateOne + " and " + dateTwo + " is" + difference + " days");

The code must take into account leap year and adding or subtracting between years. Write two additional methods that you come with on your own as well.
