Setting Year to the Current Dated Calendar Instance Example
The following example shows the usage of Java Calendar set(field,value) method. We're creating an instance of a Calendar of current date and print the current year using get() method and set we set the year using set() method and then the updated year is printed.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.Calendar; public class CalendarDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { // create a calendar Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(); // print current year System.out.println("Current year is :" + cal.get(Calendar.YEAR)); // set the year to something else cal.set(Calendar.YEAR, 1997); // print the result System.out.println("Altered year is :" + cal.get(Calendar.YEAR)); } }
Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
Current year is :2022 Altered year is :1997
Setting Year, Month, Day to the Current Dated Calendar Instance Example
The following example shows the usage of Java Calendar set(year,month,day) method. We're creating an instance of a Calendar of current date and print the current year using get() method and set we set the year using set() method and then the updated date is printed.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.Calendar; public class CalendarDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { // create a calendar Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(); // print current time System.out.println("Current date is :" + cal.getTime()); // set the year,month and day to something else cal.set(1995, 5, 25); // print the result System.out.println("Altered date is :" + cal.getTime()); } }
Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
Current date is :Tue Sep 27 20:31:15 IST 2022 Altered date is :Sun Jun 25 20:31:15 IST 1995
Setting Year,Month,Day, Hour and Minute to the Current Dated Calendar Instance Example
