Java Homework Assignment

Below is the work we have to do. The output should be a JOptionPane window. I am just not sure where to start. If someone can do a majority/small part of code to get me started that would be great, I am confused and not sure what to do. What we are suppose to do is ask the gemstone and then output it but I am not sure on how to go about that for the certain gemstone each time. Thank you if you can help!



import /* you should know this by now*/

public class Gemstones
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
String month = getUserMonth();

//call method displayGemstone
}

//write both methods: getUserMonth & displayGemstone
}

PHP:

import /* you should know this by now*/

public class Gemstones
{
     public static void main(String[] args)
     {
          String month = getUserMonth();

          displayGemstone(month);
     }

     //write both methods: getUserMonth & displayGemstone

     public static displayGemstone(String month)
     {
     //code to display gemstone
     }
     public static getUserMonth()
     {
     //get input
     }
}

That should get you started. You just need to fill in the two methods. Do you have any clue what you have to do for those?

 

nope but thanks

 

To elaborate on this code by SuF :

PHP:

import /* you should know this by now*/

public class Gemstones
{
     public static void main(String[] args)
     {
          String month = getUserMonth();

          displayGemstone(month);
     }

     //write both methods: getUserMonth & displayGemstone

     public static displayGemstone(String month)
     {
      String monthLC = month.toLowerCase();
     if(monthLC == jan || monthLC == january) {
            //Display Jan Gemstone here
            }
     }
     public static getUserMonth()
     {
     //Use a scanner to gather input and store in a String called userMonth
      String userMonthLC = userMonth.toLowerCase();
      return userMonthLC;
     }
}
