PLEASE do not top-post.

The OP showed us what he's starting with and asked for _help_, not to "" his 
assignment.  (I assume your missing verb is "do".)

So let's give him some help, if that's OK with you, O Snarky One?

Do you know how to declare a variable to be of a certain type?

It's done like this:

   SomeType variable;

Do you know where the 'Date' type is in the standard Java API?

Do you know how to declare instance members?

Do you know how to pass arguments to a constructor?  It's very similar to how 
to pass arguments to a method.

Do you have your class notes on how to get input?

Do you have your class notes on how to present output?
