This class provides an implementation of "date" structures. Date has methods to create and compare dates, obtain and set the time, and convert dates to strings.
|
| 2 |
The Date constructor creates today's date:
|
| 3 |
Date today = new Date();
|
| 4 |
In Java 1.1, most Date methods have been deprecated in favor of the Calendar class:
|
| 5 |
Calendar date1 = Calendar.getInstance();
|
| 6 |
date1.set( 999, 12, 31 ); /* Dec. 31, 999 */
|
| 7 |
Calendar date2 = Calendar.getInstance();
|
| 8 |
date2.set( 1996, 12, 31, 23, 59, 59 )
-
/* Dec.31,1996 at 23:59:59 */
