Secs 8.6
This class exists to provide an implementation of "date" structures. As is typical of data encapsulation classes, it has methods to create dates, obtain and set the parts of dates, and convert dates to other data types.
The constructor either creates today's date or any other day (and time) that you provide:
  • Date today = new Date();
  • Date ancient = new Date(999,12,31); /* Dec. 31, 999 */
  • Date deadline = new Date(1996,12,31,23,59,59)
    • /* Dec.31,1996 at 23:59:59 */
