How To Create Date Object In Python

How to create date object in Java?

Using the Date class

You can create a Date object using the Date() constructor of java.util.Dateconstructor as shown in the following example. The object created using this constructor represents the current time.

Example

Live Demo

import java.util.Date; public class CreateDate {    public static void main(String args[]) {             Date date = new Date();       System.out.print(date);    } }

Output

Thu Nov 02 15:43:01 IST 2018

Using the SimpleDateFormat class

Using the SimpleDateFormat class and the parse() method of this you can parse a date string in the required format and create a Date object representing the specified date.

Example

Live Demo

import java.text.ParseException; import java.text.SimpleDateFormat; import java.util.Date; public class Test {    public static void main(String args[]) throws ParseException {          String date_string = "26-09-1989";        //Instantiating the SimpleDateFormat class        SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MM-yyyy");              //Parsing the given String to Date object        Date date = formatter.parse(date_string);              System.out.println("Date value: "+date);    } }

Output

Date value: Tue Sep 26 00:00:00 IST 1989

Using the LocalDate class

A LocalDate object is similar to the date object except it represents the date without time zone, you can use this object instead of Date.

The now() method of this class returns a LocalDate object representing the current time
The of() method accepts the year, month and day values as parameters an returns the respective LocalDate object.
The parse() method accepts a date-string as a parameter and returns the LocalDate object5 representing the given date.

Example

Live Demo

import java.time.LocalDate; public class Test {    public static void main(String args[]) {         LocalDate date1 = LocalDate.of(2014, 9, 11);       System.out.println(date1);       LocalDate date2 = LocalDate.parse("2007-12-03");       System.out.println(date2);       LocalDate date3 = LocalDate.now();       System.out.println(date3);    } }

Output

2014-09-11 2007-12-03 2020-11-05
