I am creating a program that prompts the user to enter a year and the first day of the month, Sun=0, Mon=1, etc . . . then shows that years calendar with the correct number date placement, but I am having severe trouble getting the actual numbered dates up and changing for every single month... Honestly I am just not quite sure how to do it. The calendars need to be displayed in the console. Any help is appreciated... I'm just lost.

Here's what I have so far:

 
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class test {

    public static void main(String[] args) {




       // Prompt the user to enter input
    String yearString = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter a year:");
    int year = Integer.parseInt(yearString);

    String firstDayString = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Enter the first day of the year:\n Sun=0, Mon=1, Tues=2, etc...");
    int firstDay = Integer.parseInt(firstDayString);

    int numberOfDaysInMonth = 0;

    
    
    // Display calendar for each month
    for (int month = 1; month <= 12; month++) {
        
     
        // Display Calendar title
      switch (month) {
        case 1: System.out.printf("                        January\n=======================================================\nSun     Mon     Tues     Wed      Thurs     Fri     Sat\n");

                numberOfDaysInMonth = 31;
                firstDay = (firstDay + numberOfDaysInMonth) % 7;
                break;
        case 2: System.out.printf("                        February\n=======================================================\nSun     Mon     Tues     Wed      Thurs     Fri     Sat\n");
                if (year % 400 == 0 || (year % 4 == 0 && year % 100 != 0))
                  numberOfDaysInMonth = 29;
                else
                  numberOfDaysInMonth = 28;
                firstDay = (firstDay + numberOfDaysInMonth) % 7;
        break;
        case 3: System.out.printf("                        March\n=======================================================\nSun     Mon     Tues     Wed      Thurs     Fri     Sat\n");

        break;
        case 5:System.out.printf("                        May\n=======================================================\nSun     Mon     Tues     Wed      Thurs     Fri     Sat\n");

    }
    System.out.println("\n");

//      // Get the start day for the next month

    }
  }
}

I just have no idea what formula to use to get the dates to switch spaces for every month without using like 500 lines...
