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));
   }
}
