Importing a scanner class in a method

I have this assignment in school, where I have to import a scanner and write a method. What am I doing wrong?

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
       applicationDate();

     }
     public static void applicationDate()
     {

        Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
        System.out.println("On what day of the month you applied?");

        int day = input.nextInt();

        System.out.println("What is the name of the month in wich you applied?");

        String month = input.nextLine();

        System.out.println("During wich year you applied?");

        int year = input.nextInt();

        System.out.print("Your application date is" + month + " ", + year + "!");

      }

It comes with this error when I compile the thing, EX20.java:27: cannot find symbol

print only takes one String argument - move the comma inside the String

System.out.print("Your application date is" + month + " ," + year + "!");
                                                        ^

First add import java.util.Scanner; to your file. As this line is missing you must be getting error as 

error: cannot find symbol
    Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
    ^

then

Remove extra comma from the last print statement.

System.out.print("Your application date is" + month + " ,"+ year + "!");

Remove comma and add it in between double quotes like below.

  System.out.print("Your application date is" + month + " ,"+ year + "!");
