Last Updated :
27 Jul, 2018
The java.util.GregorianCalendar.getMinimum() method is an in-built function in Java which returns the minimum value for the particular calendar field passed as parameter to the function. For any possible time value, it is the smallest value that the get() method returns, considering the current values of the getFirstDayOfWeek(), getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek(), getGregorianChange() and getTimeZone() methods as well.
Syntax:
public int getMinimum(int calendarfield)
Parameters: This function accepts one mandatory parameter calendarfield of integer type whose minimum value for this GregorianCalender instance will be returned by the function.
Return Value:
This method returns the minimum value for the specified calendar field for this GregorianCalender instance.
Examples:
Input : DAY_OF_MONTH
Output : 1
Input : WEEK_OF_MONTH
Output : 0
Below programs illustrate the use of java.util.GregorianCalendar.getMinimum() function:
Program 1:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args) {
GregorianCalendar cal = (GregorianCalendar)
GregorianCalendar.getInstance();
System.out.println( "Current Date and Time : "
+ cal.getTime());
int minm = cal.getMinimum(GregorianCalendar.WEEK_OF_MONTH);
System.out.println( "Minimum for WEEK_OF_MONTH field :"
+ minm);
minm = cal.getMinimum(GregorianCalendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
System.out.println( "Minimum for DAY_OF_MONTH field:"
+ minm);
}
}
|
Output:
Current Date and Time : Fri Jul 27 11:40:24 UTC 2018
Minimum for WEEK_OF_MONTH field :0
Minimum for DAY_OF_MONTH field:1
Program 2:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args) {
GregorianCalendar cal = (GregorianCalendar)
GregorianCalendar.getInstance();
System.out.println( "Current Date and Time : "
+ cal.getTime());
int minm = cal.getMinimum(GregorianCalendar.YEAR);
System.out.println( "Minimum for YEAR field :"
+ minm);
minm = cal.getMinimum(GregorianCalendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
System.out.println( "Minimum for HOUR_OF_DAY field :"
+ minm);
}
}

Output:
Current Date and Time : Fri Jul 27 11:40:28 UTC 2018
