Simple Date example
In this section we have presented a simple Date example
that shows how you can use different constructors of Date. We can construct the
Date class in a number of ways. Here we will be showing few ways to construct
the Date object.
- Default constructor :- Date()
creates a Date object and initialize it with the current date and
time at which time it was initialized.
- Parameterized constructor :-
Date(int year,int month,int day) creates a Date object and
initialize it with given year+1900, given month and
given day.
Date newDate = new java.util.Date(); creates a
new instance of Date.
Date newDate = new java.util.Date(99,8,7);
creates a new instance of Date with the year
value 1999, month value 8 and day value 7.
Here is the example code of SimpleDate.java as
follows:
SimpleDate.java
import java.util.Date;
public class SimpleDate
{
public static void main(String args[]){
// Creating date with the use of default constructor
Date newDate = new java.util.Date();
System.out.println("Create date via Default constructor ==>"+newDate);
// Creating date with the use of parameterized constructor
newDate = new java.util.Date(99,8,7);
System.out.println("Create date via Parameterized constructor ==>"+newDate);
}
}

Save SimpleDate.java and compile it with the javac
command.
Output:
C:\DateExample>javac SimpleDate.java
Note: SimpleDate.java uses or overrides a deprecated API.
Note: Recompile with -Xlint:deprecation for details.
C:\DateExample>java SimpleDate
Create date via Default constructor ==>Fri Oct 10 12:09:15 GMT+05:30 2008
Create date via Parameterized constructor ==>Tue Sep 07 00:00:00 GMT+05:30 1999
