Why can't I use GregorianCalendar as an object type as a constructor parameter?
public class P(GregorianCalendar date){
Why can't I do this?
The error it give me is "syntax error on token "class", char expected".

That's a class declaration, not a constructor declaration. A constructor would bepublic P(GregorianCalendar date)- within apublic class P ...class declaration.

And you should really avoid using this obsolete, badly designed class. Use classes of the java.time package. And while you're at it, use a meanungful name for your own class.

And there are several ones in the java.time package, all much better designed than GregorianCalendar, and suitable for various use-cases.

@user10610048 Read Jon Skeet's comment, carefully. That is the answer to your problem. Once you fixed your problem, following Jon's advice (you literally just have to copy and paste code), then read my comments, carefully. Date is not part of the java.time package.

As Jon Skeet mentioned in the comments. Here is how you create a class with construtor that has one parameter
import java.time.LocalDate;
public class P
private LocalDate date;
public P(LocalDate date)
this.date = date;

Correct and complete answer. Upvoted for using the modernLocalDateinstead of the complex, poorly designed and long outdatedCalendar.
