How to sanity check a date in Java [closed]

Answer 1

// to return valid days of month, according to month and year
int returnDaysofMonth(int month, int year) {
    int daysInMonth;
    boolean leapYear;
    leapYear = checkLeap(year);
    if (month == 4 || month == 6 || month == 9 || month == 11)
        daysInMonth = 30;
    else if (month == 2)
        daysInMonth = (leapYear) ? 29 : 28;
    else
        daysInMonth = 31;
    return daysInMonth;
}

// to check a year is leap or not
private boolean checkLeap(int year) {
    Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
    cal.set(Calendar.YEAR, year);
    return cal.getActualMaximum(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR) > 365;
}
