Java, I need the data type for date.?

Question

Hi

I need the data type for date and its import statement. Can you find out and tell me please.

Answer 1

Just a "simple" date? java.util.Date is used to represent a point in time as measured from Java's epoch, midnight, Jan 1, 1970 (same as C).

Import examples:
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.*;

If working with databases through JDBC, then you will probably need to use the subclass of java.util.Date called java.sql.Date.

If you need to do more complex date representation, for example, you need to move from some time today to sometime tomorrow, then use Calendar & GregorianCalendar (no, simpling adding the milliseconds for 24 hours is NOT right!).
