NA
Getting Minimum Year from a Current Dated GregorianCalendar Instance Example
The following example shows the usage of Java GregorianCalendar getMinimum() method. We're creating a GregorianCalendar instance of current date. We're printing the minimum possible value of Year.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.GregorianCalendar; public class GregorianCalendarDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { // create a new calendar GregorianCalendar cal = (GregorianCalendar) GregorianCalendar.getInstance(); // print the current date and time System.out.println("" + cal.getTime()); // get minimum for YEAR System.out.println("Minimum:" + cal.getMinimum(GregorianCalendar.YEAR)); } }
Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
Sat Nov 19 13:48:17 IST 2022 Minimum:1
Getting Minimum Month from a Current Dated GregorianCalendar Instance Example
