A simple Date class i did i believe its pretty newby friendly , maybe someone can use it for something.
import java.util.Date;
public class GetDate {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Date newDate;
newDate = new Date(); //initialize the new class and allocate memory for it
System.out.println(newDate); //unformated Date
//retrieve the current day , Java stores the day as a single byte?
if (newDate.getDay() == 1)
System.out.println("Day = Monday");
if (newDate.getDay() == 2)
System.out.println("Day = Tuesday");
if (newDate.getDay() == 3)
System.out.println("Day = Wednesday");
if (newDate.getDay() == 4)
System.out.println("Day = Thursday");
if (newDate.getDay() == 5)
System.out.println("Day = Friday");
if (newDate.getDay() == 6)
System.out.println("Day = Saturday");
if (newDate.getDay() == 7)
System.out.println("Day = Sunday");
//parsing the rest of the Methods (getHour , GetMonth etc) the same way or how ever u like
}
}
There's already a date class ("Date") and a Calendar class ("Calendar") which are pretty simple to use :)
But, on this topic, I wrote a timestamp class:
Quotepublic String padNumber(int num, int size) throws Exception
{
String s = "" + num;
while(s.length() < size)
s = "0" + s;
return s;
}
public String getTimeStamp() throws Exception
{
// Get the timestamp
Calendar date = Calendar.getInstance();
return "[" + padNumber(date.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY), 2) + ":" + padNum
ber(date.get(Calendar.MINUTE), 2) + ":" + padNumber(date.get(Calendar.SECOND), 2
)+ "." + padNumber(date.get(Calendar.MILLISECOND), 3) + "] ";
}
Excuse the lousy error handling, though, I just threw the whole program together without wanting to worry about it.
<edit>Incidentally, Date.getDay() and the others you mentioned are deprecated and should be replaced with equivolant functions from class Calendar</edit>
