Below programs illustrate the working of getActualMaximum() Method of Calendar class:
Example 1:
// Java Code to illustrate// getActualMaximum() Method import java.util.*; public class CalendarClassDemo { public static void main(String args[]) { // Creating a calendar Calendar calndr = Calendar.getInstance(); // Getting the maximum value that // year field can have int yr = calndr.getActualMaximum(Calendar.YEAR); System.out.println("The Maximum year: " + yr); // Getting the maximum value that // month field can have int mon = calndr.getActualMaximum(Calendar.MONTH); System.out.println("The Maximum Month is: " + mon); }} |
Output:
The Maximum year: 292278994 The Maximum Month is: 11
Example 2:
// Java Code to illustrate// getActualMaximum() Method import java.util.*; public class CalendarClassDemo { public static void main(String args[]) { // Creating a calendar object Calendar calndr = new GregorianCalendar(2018, 9, 2); // Getting the maximum value that // year field can have int yr = calndr.getActualMaximum(Calendar.YEAR); System.out.println("The Maximum year: " + yr); // Getting the maximum value that // month field can have int mon = calndr.getActualMaximum(Calendar.MONTH); System.out.println("The Maximum Month is: " + mon); }} |
Output:
The Maximum year: 292278993 The Maximum Month is: 11
