Date and time in Java

The class Date represents a specific instant in time, with millisecond precision.

The Date in Java is not only a data type, like int or float, but a class. This means it has its own methods available for use. A Date in Java also includes the time, the year, the name of the day of the week, and the time zone. One of its methods includes extracting the time from the Date object.

import java.time.LocalDate; // import the LocalDate class

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    LocalDate myObj = LocalDate.now(); // Create a date object
    System.out.println(myObj); // Display the current date
  }
}
