Day for the given Date in Java

Hello Friend,

You can use the following code:

import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
class  CheckDay{
   public static void main(String[] args){
     Scanner input=new Scanner(System.in);
     System.out.println("Enter date(1-31):");
     int dd=input.nextInt();
     System.out.println("Enter month(1-12): ");
     int month=input.nextInt()-1;
     System.out.println("Enter year: ");
     int year=input.nextInt();
   Date date= (new GregorianCalendar(year, month, dd)).getTime();
   SimpleDateFormat f = new SimpleDateFormat("EEEE");
     String day=f.format(date);
     System.out.println(day);
     }
}

Thanks

    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    try {  
     String str_date="11-jan-07";
     DateFormat formatter ; 
      Date date ; 
      formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yy");
      date = (Date)formatter.parse(str_date);  
    // System.out.println("Today is " +date );

     SimpleDateFormat sdf;

     sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("DD/MM/yyyy");
     System.out.println("DAte " + sdf.format(date));


      } catch (ParseException e)
      {
          System.out.println("Exception :"+e);  }  

     }
    }
