title: Adding a Birthday to my Employee class java
body: <p>I'm sure at some point when you are first learning programming we create some kind of program that teaches us interfaces, abstracts, and polymorphism. Well, that's what I'm trying to do right now.  </p>
  
  <p>I'm coding in Java, and I'm trying to create an Abstract employee class. I'm running in to one little problem with it though. I want to add a birthday to the Employee, but I'm not sure how to do that with calendar.  </p>
  
  <p>I would like to be able to store the Birthday like I would the employees name i.e.  <code>public String employeeName;</code>. Creating it as a variable would allow me to use getters and setters on it. </p>
  
  <p>The employee Constructor would look something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public Employee(String name, int idNumber, String Gender, 
      int year, int month, int day)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>To sum up how to I create a birthday variable using a calendar, and if I wanted to get the birthday date(whatever it is set to) how would I do that? thank you.</p>
