Date date = new Date(0L);
Shouldn’t it give me a zero date? Like 00/00/0000? Gives me Wed Dec 31 19:00:00 EST 1969
Date date = new Date(0L); Shouldn’t it give me a zero date? Like 00/00/0000?

Per the javadocs, this constructor on
Dateuses an offset from baseline time:Presumably you are on EST, hence the result.
As an aside, I would not expect the result you noted to be produced by any conceivable
Datemanipulation, since that’s not even a valid date (month and day = 0).
