Below programs illustrate the working of getActualMinimum() method of Calendar class:
Example 1:
// Java Code to illustrate // getActualMinimum() Method import java.util.*;
public class CalendarClassDemo {
public static void main(String args[])
{
// Creating a calendar
Calendar calndr = Calendar.getInstance();
// Getting the Minimum value that
// year field can have
int yr
= calndr.getActualMinimum(Calendar.YEAR);
System.out.println( "The Minimum year: "
+ yr);
// Getting the Minimum value that
// month field can have
int mon
= calndr.getActualMinimum(Calendar.MONTH);
System.out.println( "The Minimum Month is: "
+ mon);
}
} |
The Minimum year: 1 The Minimum Month is: 0
Example 2:
// Java Code to illustrate // getActualMinimum() Method import java.util.*;
public class CalendarClassDemo {
public static void main(String args[])
{
// Creating a calendar object
Calendar calndr
= new GregorianCalendar( 2018 , 9 , 2 );
// Getting the Minimum value that
// year field can have
int yr
= calndr.getActualMinimum(Calendar.YEAR);
System.out.println( "The Minimum year: "
+ yr);
// Getting the Minimum value that
// month field can have
int mon
= calndr.getActualMinimum(Calendar.MONTH);
System.out.println( "The Minimum Month is: "
+ mon);
}
} |
The Minimum year: 1 The Minimum Month is: 0
