How to say "and" in java

May seem like a stupid question but how do you say "and" in java?

This may help ye get a better understanding of what im trying to do,

format = digit1 and digit2 and digit3;

are you adding up the digits?

Logical and? Bitwise and? former is &&, the latter is &.

Just Google this stuff, man!

no im not, i just want the word format to equal the 3 different digits, for example: format= 1 and 2 and 3, therefore format=123

fasty, iv tried both and neither work for in this instance! Thanks for the advice though.

I might be getting a bit confused as to what your asking but I think you would have to have format as a String and if your taking the digits in as ints or doubles you will have to cast them to String and then use this.

format = digit1 + digit2 + digit3;

so System.out.println("format = " + format);

would give you format = 123

*Disclaimer: I'm wrecked so I could be misreading what you actually want

Are you trying to take all 3 digits in one input?

coffey-16 · 01-10-2009 12:41AM

no im trying to take them as 3 seperate inputs.
I can post the rest of the code if ye think it would make it more clear as to what I am asking:)

yes please do, dont forget to use the code tags

package displaydate;

import java.util.Scanner;

public class DisplayDate {

    public static void main( String args[] ) {

        Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

        int number1;
        int number2;
        int number3;
        int format;

        System.out.print("Enter the day:");
        number1 = input.nextInt();

        System.out.print ("Enter the month:");
        number2 = input.nextInt();

        System.out.print ("Enter the year:");
        number3 = input.nextInt();

       format = number1 & number2 & number3;

        System.out.printf("The date entered was the %02d/", format );

printf can take more than 1 argument.

System.out.printf("The date entered was %d, %d, %d", number1, number2, number3);?

This isn't an "and" by the way

since your not doing any equation with the date just take them in as strings instead, have format as a string too and then do what I said above

ie: format = number1 + number2 + number3;

If you were doing an equation with the numbers you could take them in as ints but then cast them to a string so you can concatenate them.

If you haves ints the + will simply add up the numbers and give a total

By any chance would this code be for a computer software project?

first thing i thought of was logical and: &&

but I guess your question has already been answered
