Program To Determine Number Of Days In A Year Up To And Including The Current Day

So basically we have this question to do : Write a method dayNumber that determines the number of days in a year up to and including the current day. The method should have three int parameters: year, month, and day. If the value of any parameter is invalid, the method should print a warning message and return the value zero. The table gives some examples of the action of the method. Accept any non-negative year as being valid. You may want to assume the existence of a method numberOfDays that returns the number of days in a given month of a given year. And you should have a method call isLeapYear, if the user enter a year that is a leap year.

This is what I did so far:

class dayMonthYear {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Enter a year");
int year = In.getInt();
System.out.println("Enter the month for '1' to be January - '12' to be december");

[Code] ....

It works and compiles but my problem is that: let say I enter "12" for December and December has 31 days, so what my program will do since December has 31 days, it thinks each month has 31 days and add them up which will give me 372 when it's suppose to give me 365. How do I make it that it won't do that and that it will work if the year is a leap year too.
