Convert Date
to String
In this section, you will learn to convert a date into
string type. The java.util package provides the functionality to convert it.
Description of program:
This program helps you to convert the date into a
string type. Firstly, you need to pass a date in the parse() method
which is invoked through the DateFormat object . The format() method
converts the date into a string. This method is defined as final in the DateFormat
class. This is used to format a Date into a date/time string. The parameter
passed is as date/time and it returns a string.
Here is the code of program:
import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
public class DateToString {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
DateFormat formatter ;
Date date ;
formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yy");
date = (Date)formatter.parse("11-June-07");
String s = formatter.format(date);
System.out.println("Today is " + s);
} catch (ParseException e)
{System.out.println("Exception :"+e); }
}
}
