Discussion :
The Calender get(int field) method is used to get the value at the specified Calendar field as method argument. Like for example if we want to get the value of the year specified by the Calendar object we would be leveraging the static field of this class Calendar.YEAR. The Calendar.Year would be returning an int value of 1. If we input this value to the get(int field), we would be getting the actual year of this Calendar object.
Java Code Example :
This java example source code demonstrates the use of get(int field) method of Calendar class. Basically we print first the time and we experimented on putting fields of Calendar object.
package com.javatutorialhq.java.examples;import java.util.Calendar;
/* * This example source code demonstrates the use of * get(int field) method of Calendar class */
public class CalendarGetExample {
public static void main(String
[] args) throws InterruptedException {
Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
// Printing the date System.out.println("Current Time:"+cal.getTime());
// Getting the desired parameters System.out.println("Field 1:"+cal.get(1)); System.out.println("Field YEAR:"+cal.get(Calendar.YEAR)); System.out.println("Field Month:"+cal.get(Calendar.MONTH)); System.out.println("Field Day:"+cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH)); System.out.println("Field Hour:"+cal.get(Calendar.HOUR)); System.out.println("Field Minute:"+cal.get(Calendar.MINUTE)); System.out.println("Field Second:"+cal.get(Calendar.SECOND));
}
}
