// Question is: Write a program to compute the date of Easter Sunday. Easter Sunday is the first Sunday after the first full moon of Spring. Use the following method, invented by the mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss in 1800: .... (you can see how it works in my code)

Therefore, in 2001, Easter Sunday fell on 4/15. Write a complete program that allows the user to input a year from the keyboard, and have the program output the month and day values. Your solution must involve the creation of a method named gauss that accepts an integer parameter representing the year of interest.

My program works so far, but I don't know how to do that with the year in a separate method...

This is what I have so far:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Easter { public static void main(String[] args) {

Scanner s = new Scanner (System.in); System.out.print ("For what year do you want to know when Easter is?"); int y = s.nextInt();

// info given by pset: int a = y % 19; int b = y / 100; int c = y % 100; int d = b / 4; int e = b % 4; int g = (8 * b + 13) / 25; int h = (19 * a + b - d - g + 15) % 30; int j = c / 4; int k = c % 4; int m = (a + 11 * h) / 319; int r = (2 * e + 2 * j - k - h + m + 32) % 7; int n = (h - m + r + 90) / 25; int p = (h - m + r + n + 19) % 32;

System.out.println("In the year " + y + " Easter is/was on day " + p + " of month " + n); } }
