Sample Code On Example Uses Of Calendar Class

Write a java program that can find your age if the current year is 2007.

This example uses the Calendar class to compute a person's age.

// Create a calendar object with the date of birth
Calendar dateOfBirth = new GregorianCalendar(1972, Calendar.JANUARY, 27);

// Create a calendar object with today's date
Calendar today = Calendar.getInstance();

// Get age based on year
int age = today.get(Calendar.YEAR) - dateOfBirth.get(Calendar.YEAR);

// Add the tentative age to the date of birth to get this year's birthday
dateOfBirth.add(Calendar.YEAR, age);

// If this year's birthday has not happened yet, subtract one from age

if (today.before(dateOfBirth)) {
age--;
}
