DateFormat setLenient() Method in Java with Examples
The setLenient(boolean leniency) method in DateFormat class is used to specify whether the interpretation of the date and time of this DateFormat object is to be lenient or not.
Syntax:
public void setLenient(boolean leniency)
Parameters: The method takes one parameter leniency of the boolean type that refers to the mode of the calendar of the DateFormat object. The boolean value true turns on the leniency mode and false turns off the leniency mode.
Return Value: The method does not return any value.
Below programs illustrate the working of setLenient() Method of Calendar class:
Example 1:
import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
public class DateFormat_Demo {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
DateFormat DFormat
= DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance();
System.out.println( "Object: " + DFormat);
String str = DFormat.format( new Date());
System.out.println(str);
System.out.println( "Leniency: "
+ DFormat.isLenient());
DFormat.setLenient( false );
System.out.println( "New Leniency: "
+ DFormat.isLenient());
}
}

Output:
Object: java.text.SimpleDateFormat@7945516e

Leniency: true
New Leniency: false
Example 2:
import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
public class DateFormat_Demo {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
DateFormat DFormat
= DateFormat.getDateInstance();
System.out.println( "Object: " + DFormat);
String str = DFormat.format( new Date());
System.out.println(str);
System.out.println( "Leniency: "
+ DFormat.isLenient());
DFormat.setLenient( false );
System.out.println( "New Leniency: "
+ DFormat.isLenient());
}
}
