2. Show the number of months with this property.
3. Show at least the first and last five dates, in order.

Java

<lang java>import java.util.Calendar; import java.util.GregorianCalendar;

public class FiveFSS {

     //dreizig tage habt september...
     private static int[] month31 = {Calendar.JANUARY, Calendar.MARCH, Calendar.MAY,
           Calendar.JULY, Calendar.AUGUST, Calendar.OCTOBER, Calendar.DECEMBER};
     public static void main(String[] args){
           for(int year = 1900; year <= 2100; year++){
                 for(int month:month31){
                       Calendar date = new GregorianCalendar(year, month, 1);
                       if(date.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK) == Calendar.FRIDAY){
                             //months are 0-indexed in Calendar
                             System.out.println((date.get(Calendar.MONTH) + 1) + "-" + year);
                       }
                 }
           }
     }
