        System.out.println("Please enter a date (mm/dd/yyyy)");
        String uDate = kb.nextLine();
        int userDate = Integer.parseInt(uDate);
        int length = uDate.length();

        if(length != 10)
        {
            System.out.println(uDate+" is a not valid Date");
        }
        else
        {
            System.out.println(uDate+" is a valid Date");
