      // create a new calendar
      CalendarDemo cal = new CalendarDemo();

      // print the current date
      System.out.println("The current date is : " + cal.getTime());

      // clear the calendar
      cal.clear();

      // set a new year and call computeFields()
      cal.set(GregorianCalendar.YEAR, 1998);
