Below programs illustrate the working of getDisplayName() Method of Calendar class:
Example 1:




// Java Code to illustrate
// getDisplayName() Method
  
import java.util.*;
  
public class Calendar_Demo_Locale {
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
  
        // Creating Locale objects class
        Locale first_obj = new Locale("TURKISH", "Turkey");
  
        Locale sec_obj = new Locale("ENGLISH", "UK");
  
        // Displaying the objects
        System.out.println("First"
                           + " object is : " + first_obj);
        System.out.println("Second"
                           + " object is : " + sec_obj);
  
        // Getting the display names
        String obj_nm = first_obj.getDisplayName();
  
        // Displaying the results
        System.out.println("Name of the"
                           + " first object: " + obj_nm);
  
        // Getting the display names
        obj_nm = sec_obj.getDisplayName();
        System.out.println("Name of the"

        // Displaying the objects
        System.out.println("First"

        System.out.println("Second"
                           + " object is : " + sec_obj);
  
        // Getting the display names
        String obj_nm = first_obj.getDisplayName();
  
        // Displaying the results
        System.out.println("Name of the"
                           + " first object: " + obj_nm);
  
        // Getting the display names
        obj_nm = sec_obj.getDisplayName();
