I'm relatively new to processing (and code in general) and trying to learn to use Java libraries. I found an example online but it gives an error, and I can't tell why.

The error is "unhandled exception type ParseException" Here's the code:

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;

import java.util.Calendar;

import java.util.Date;

String dateInput = "10/31/1999";

Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("mm/dd/yyyy");

Date date = sdf.parse(dateInput);

cal.setTime(date);

System.out.println("Day Of Week: " + cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK));

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Note my usage of the try / catch construct. That's because parse() can be fed with incorrect data (wrong format). In this case, it will throw an exception that must be caught (checked exception).
