Question

Write a java program to find out the Chinese Zodiac sign for a given year using an array of strings to store the animal names. The Chinese Zodiac is based on a twelve-year cycle, with each year represented by a different animal: monkey, rooster, dog, pig, rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, or sheep—in this cycle. Note that year % 12 determines the Zodiac sign.

year % 12 =
0: monkey
1: rooster
2: dog
3: pig
4: rat
5: ox
6: tiger
7: rabbit
8: dragon
9: snake
10: horse
11: sheep

For example: 1900 is the year of the rat because 1900 % 12 = 4

Starting code:

// John Smith, 123456789
import java.util.Scanner;
public class ChineseZodiac {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter a year: ");
int year = input.nextInt();
// To be finished by you

Explanation / Answer

import java.util.*;
public class ChineseZodiac

{
  public static void main(String[] args)

{
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print("Enter a year: ");
int year = input.nextInt();

int n=year%12;

String[] zodiac = { "monkey","rooster","dog","pig","rat","ox","tiger","rabbit","dragon", "snake", "horse", "sheep"};

for ( int i=0; i<12; i++ )

{

if( i = n )

System.out.println(" Zodiac Sign is"+ zodiac[i]);

}

}

}

Output:

Enter a year: 1900

Zodiac Sign is rat
