The setLenient(boolean leniency) method in Calendar class is used to specify whether the interpretation of the date and time is to be lenient or not.
Syntax:
public void setLenient(boolean leniency)

Return Value: The method does not return any value.
Below programs illustrate the working of setFirstDayOfWeek() Method of Calendar class:
Example 1:
// Java code to illustrate // setLenient() method import java.util.*;
public class Calendar_Demo {
public static void main(String args[])
{
// Creating a calendar object
Calendar calndr = Calendar.getInstance();
// Displaying the current
// mood of leniency
boolean value = calndr.isLenient();
System.out.println( "Is the"
+ " Calendar lenient? "
+ value);
// Changing the leniency
calndr.setLenient( false );
// Displaying the result
System.out.println( "The altered"
+ " Leniency: "
+ calndr.isLenient());
}
} |
Is the Calendar lenient? true The altered Leniency: false
Example 2:
// Java code to illustrate // isLenient() method import java.util.*;
public class CalendarDemo {
public static void main(String args[])
{
// Creating a calendar object
Calendar calndr
= Calendar.getInstance();
// Displaying the calendar
System.out.println( "Current Calendar: "
+ calndr.getTime());
// Checking the leniency
boolean leniency = calndr.isLenient();
calndr.setLenient( false );
leniency = calndr.isLenient();
// Displaying the leniency
System.out.println( "Calendar is"
+ " lenient? "
+ leniency);
// Checking the leniency
calndr.setLenient( true );
leniency = calndr.isLenient();
// Displaying the leniency
System.out.println( "Calendar is"
+ " lenient: "
+ leniency);
}
