date - Java - Better way then using Ifs and repeating functions - DateRelated -

-

i created function check date string month contains can use multiple date formats. i'm using lot of ifs , repeating .contains function. there better way of doing this?

also related dates in format weekday(string), month(string) day(int- xx), year(int - xxxx). e.g. sunday, june 27, 1965. i've had no luck far built in functions.

    public static int checkmonth(string s){     string month = s.tolowercase();      if(month.contains("january")){return 1;}     else if(month.contains("febuary")){return 2;}     else if(month.contains("march")){return 3;}     else if(month.contains("april")){return 4;}     else if(month.contains("may")){return 5;}     else if(month.contains("june")){return 6;}     else if(month.contains("july")){return 7;}     else if(month.contains("august")){return 8;}     else if(month.contains("september")){return 9;}     else if(month.contains("october")){return 10;}     else if(month.contains("november")){return 11;}     else if(month.contains("december")){return 12;}     else {return -1;}        }

you could use loop. example,

// 'lookup' static string[] monthnames = {"january", .., "december"};  // in method (var = 0; < months.length; i++) {    if (monthname.contains(monthnames[i])) {       return + 1; // because 0..11 indices in array    } } // if no matching month found

although if trying "nlp" date, i'm sure there existing libraries ..
