What error are you getting? Chances are, if you read the error message, you will know what's wrong (javac is usually pretty good at telling you what's wrong....)

D:\user\java\sources\Test.java:7: cannot resolve symbol
symbol  : variable dagformat 
location: class Test
String now =dagformat.format(day);
            ^
1 error
Tool completed with exit code 1

If you take a look, you will see that it doesn't know what "dagformat" is. This is correct. The variable that you have is "dayformat"
