Steps:
Create a file named Ex_5_6.java and appropriate class name and main() method. Create a method using the following signature:

pubilc static String monthNumberToString(int monthNumber)

System.out.println(monthNumberToString(1));

            case 2:
                return "February";
            case 3:
                return "March";

                return "April";
            case 5:
                return "May";
            case 6:
                return "June";
            case 7:
                return "July";
            case 8:
                return "August";

            case 10:
                return "October";
            case 11:
                return "November";
            case 12:
                return "December";
            default:
                return "";
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.out.println(monthNumberToString(1));
    }
}

Output:
