DATE & TIME

• Java provides the DATE class available in java.util package, this

access the current date and time

•This package implements Serialization, Cloneable and Comparable

interface.
DATE CLASS
The class Date represents a specific instant in time, with millisecond
precision.
The list of major Date and Time classes:
java.util.Date class
java.util.Calendar class
java.util.Date
• Java provides the DATE class available in java.util package, this
access the current date and time.

• It uses some constructors and methods to represent date and time.

Constructor Description

Date() Creates a date object

representing current date
and time.

Date(long milliseconds) Creates a date object for

the given milliseconds
