// internalGet() method

import java.util.*;

public class CalendarDemo
    extends GregorianCalendar {
    public static void main(String args[])
    {

        // Creating a new calendar
        CalendarDemo calndr = new CalendarDemo();

        // Displaying the Current date
        System.out.println("The current date is: "
                           + calndr.getTime());

        // Getting the Month
        System.out.println("Month is: "
                           + calndr
                                 .internalGet(MONTH));

        // Getting the Year
        System.out.println("Year is: "
                           + calndr
                                 .internalGet(YEAR));
    }
}

Output:

The current date is: Wed Feb 20 16:11:36 UTC 2019
Month is: 1
Year is: 2019

Example 2:

// Java code to illustrate
// internalGet() method

import java.util.*;

public class Calendar_Demo
    extends GregorianCalendar {
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        // Creating a calendar object
        Calendar_Demo calndr = new Calendar_Demo();

        // Displaying the current date
        System.out.println("Calendar: "
                           + calndr
                                 .getTime());

        // Displaying the year
        System.out.println("Year: "
                           + calndr
                                 .internalGet(YEAR));

        // Displaying the month
        System.out.println("Month: "
                           + calndr
                                 .internalGet(MONTH));

        // Displaying other credentials
        System.out.println("Day: "
                           + calndr
                                 .internalGet(DAY_OF_WEEK));
