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.
|
|
The Date constructor creates today's date:
|
|
Date today = new Date();
|
|
In Java 1.1, most Date methods have been deprecated in favor of the Calendar class:
|
|
Calendar date1 = Calendar.getInstance();
|
|
date1.set( 999, 12, 31 ); /* Dec. 31, 999 */
|
|
Calendar date2 = Calendar.getInstance();
|
date2.set( 1996, 12, 31, 23, 59, 59 )
-
/* Dec.31,1996 at 23:59:59 */
