Java help needed

Riiight, started doing Java few days ago and having troubles with this. I know the solution is really simple, I just can't work it out since I'm too much of a noob when it comes to programming.

Basically, I've got 2 private methods to assign time elements in hours and minutes and I wanna call them both through the public method setTime without having to duplicate the code in that method, how does one do this? What I've done with it kinda works, but it still let's values outside the range to be assigned so I have no clue what to do.

I'll be greatful for any pointers/help.

    /**
     * Sets the value of the hour field.
     * Values not in range (0 - 24) are discarded and replaced with zero.
     */
    private void setHour (int setHourTo)
    {
        if(setHourTo > 23) {
            this.hour = 0;
        }
        if(setHourTo < 0) {
            this.hour = 0;
        }
        else {
            this.hour = setHourTo;
        }
    }

     /**
     * Sets the value of the minute field.
     * Values not in range (0 - 59) are discarded and replaced with zero.
     */
    private void setMinute (int setMinuteTo)
    {
        if(setMinuteTo > 59) {
            this.minute = 0;
        }
        if(setMinuteTo < 0) {
            this.minute = 0;
        }
        else {
            this.minute = setMinuteTo;
        }
    }
       
     /**
     * Uses parameters from setHour and setMinute to set the time.
     * Only accepts values 0 - 23 for hours and 0 - 59 for minutes.
     * Any other values are discarded and replaced with a zero
     */
    public void setTime (int setHour, int setMinute)
    {
        this.hour = setHour;
        this.minute = setMinute;
    }

YOUR GAY

In other words, I'm trying to get setTime to do the same thing that both setHour and setMinute do, only without duplicating code.

public void setTime (int h, int m) {
setHour(h);
setMinute(m);
}

public void setTime (int h, int m) {
setHour(h);
setMinute(m);
}

I still am, on a different part now though. But meh, need to figure this out on my own.

Humans know nothing ab initio. Before you learned Java, you didn't know Java. It's common sense.

privatevoid setHour (int setHourTo)
this.hour = setHour;

Did they ever teach you about return types?

I also fail at whitespace. Please rape my face too.

It's Frozenvoid undercovered!

Ok its me again. I finished my Time class yesterday and now I'm working with 2 more classes - Patient and Date.

So far the Patiend class assigns a reference number, patient name, GP name and a date of birth. Now, I'm trying to get the Patient class to assign the date of birth for the Date class, and then to call a method from Date inside Patient to return the birth date, but this last bit seems not to work as I can't get Patient to assign the DOB values and pass them onto Date.

I'm not sure if it makes any sense, but here's what I have atm http://pastebin.com/m1f416a6d

Also I'm not supposed to change any code within Date, which is what confuses me since it would have been much easier to just do that, or am I missing the point here?
