Step #1 of 4

Program Plan:

- Import the util package that contains Scanner and Gregoriancalendar classes.

- The Scanner class object reads console input entered by the user. The Gregoriancalendar class object stores the values of starting and ending dates of the semester.

- Define main class MainClass and initialize main () function.

- Declare integer variables and objects of Scanner and Gregoriancalendar classes.

- The object lineSeparator uses the getproperty () method to read for a new line.

- Prompt user to enter start and end dates of the semester.

- Calculate the number of days in the semester.

- Use method println() of System class to display the results.
