JAVA Date

Java Date

July 2014. About this time, summer tutoring sessions will be ending early next month and the fall semester will start also next month. I have spent all this time tutoring in the same college classroom at the same hours, I think, five days a week.

Last month also, I had to take all three of the IC3 examinations: Computing Fundamentals, Key Applications (using Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Access), and Living Online. It was recommended that I passed them when tutoring how to use a computer and these Microsoft software.

I took one exam a week in three consecutive weeks and had only one week to study for each exam. I passed all three in the first try. So now, I can include in my resume that I have a Certiport IC3 certificate.

Now, back to the future, the Spring 2015 semester had just begun yesterday. And tomorrow, I have to start attending a classroom class in Advanced Java.

So here’s a Java program that tells you how to get a date.

import java.util.Date;
import java.util.Calendar;

class HowToGetADate {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
  Date date;
  Calendar calendar;
  calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
  calendar.set(Calendar.YEAR, 1970);
  calendar.set(Calendar.MONTH, Calendar.JANUARY);
  calendar.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH, 1);
  date = calendar.getTime();
  System.out.println(date.toString());
  }
}

CYK:
What Java data type cannot be cast into a different data type?
What Date constructor is deprecated in Java?
What Java keyword is not used?

Welcome back class!
