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);  }  

 

 }

}

Output of this program:

C:\date>javac DateToString.java

C:\date>java DateToString
Today is 11-Jun-07
