Answer 1

A slight change to what Harry Lime posted. His logic is not entirely correct. Year 1901 would be 20th century, but 1900 would be 19th century.

public class CenturyYear {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        int test = centuryFromYear(1900);
        System.out.println(test);

    }

    static int centuryFromYear(int year) {
        if (year % 100 == 0) {
            year = year / 100;
        } else {
            year = (year / 100) + 1;
        }
        return year;
    }

}
