Question

I want to show the date in format 22-Apr-2012.
I am using this code:

        SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");

        sdf.applyPattern("dd MMM yyyy");
        Date x = new Date(time.year,time.month,time.monthday);
        System.out.println(sdf.format(x));

But i am getting o/p as:
22 apr 3912.
I want to know why it is showing 3912 in place of 2012.

Answer 1

Please read the api for Date class. It starts from year 1900 so in this constructor you must provide the date – 1900. But this constructor is deprecated so my advice is to start using Calendar object for your date related operations.
