daysInMonth

Language/Type: Java if/else method basics redundancy return
Author: Brad Goring

Write a method named daysInMonth that accepts a month (an integer between 1 and 12) as a parameter and returns the number of days in that month in this year. For example, the call daysInMonth(9) would return 30 because September has 30 days. Assume that the code is not being run during a leap year (that February always has 28 days).

Month 1 Jan 2 Feb 3 Mar 4 Apr 5 May 6 Jun 7 Jul 8 Aug 9 Sep 10 Oct 11 Nov 12 Dec
Days 31 28 31 30 31 30 31 31 30 31 30 31
