Right, the initial input is taken as a String & then you separate the three digits and store them.

Make sure you're separating the numbers from the string correctly, you can try making another class and testing that out to see if it's working properly. Once you have that working the toString() method should be printing out the correct date, as you're just printing the three ints + "/" where they're needed.

The way I did it was by using the .split method to create an array of strings without the "/" and parsing them into ints.

Yeah, the date is separated in the MonsterAttack class. From the MonsterMonitor class, you're only sending the date as a String, as with other values you need to send (location, victims, etc). 

Yeah, just send the string and separate it to digits on the MonsterAttack class. 

Question, and correct me if I'm wrong, what's the point of separating and parsing the string date to three ints, when toString() will basically revert it to the date string, and same format too right mm/dd/yyyy?
