Get a date part, such as the hour, the month, or the year, use the get method in Java

Description

The following code shows how to get a date part, such as the hour, the month, or the year, use the get method.

To use it, pass a valid field to the get method. A valid field is one of the following values:

• Calendar.YEAR
• Calendar.MONTH
• Calendar.DATE
• Calendar.HOUR
• Calendar.MINUTE
• Calendar.SECOND
• Calendar.MILLISECOND

get(Calendar.MONTH) returns a zero-based index of the month, with 0 representing January, 1 February, and 11 December.

Example

//from  ww w . j a va 2  s  .c om
  
import java.util.Calendar;

public class Main{

  public static void main(String[] args){
     Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance ();
     
     System.out.println(calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR));
     System.out.println(calendar.get(Calendar.MONTH));
     System.out.println(calendar.get(Calendar.DATE));
     System.out.println(calendar.get(Calendar.HOUR));
     System.out.println(calendar.get(Calendar.MINUTE));
     System.out.println(calendar.get(Calendar.SECOND));
     System.out.println(calendar.get(Calendar.MILLISECOND));
  }

}

The code above generates the following result.
