Parameters: The method takes one parameter field_value of integer type and refers to the calendar whose minimum value is needed to be returned.
Return Value: The method returns the minimum value of the passed field.
Below programs illustrate the working of getActualMinimum() method of Calendar class:
Example 1:
// Java Code to illustrate// getActualMinimum() Method  import java.util.*;  public class CalendarClassDemo {    public static void main(String args[])    {        // Creating a calendar        Calendar calndr = Calendar.getInstance();          // Getting the Minimum value that        // year field can have        int yr            = calndr.getActualMinimum(Calendar.YEAR);        System.out.println("The Minimum year: "                           + yr);          // Getting the Minimum value that        // month field can have        int mon            = calndr.getActualMinimum(Calendar.MONTH);        System.out.println("The Minimum Month is: "                           + mon);    }} |
Output:
The Minimum year: 1 The Minimum Month is: 0
Example 2:
// Java Code to illustrate// getActualMinimum() 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 Minimum value that        // year field can have        int yr            = calndr.getActualMinimum(Calendar.YEAR);        System.out.println("The Minimum year: "                           + yr);          // Getting the Minimum value that        // month field can have        int mon            = calndr.getActualMinimum(Calendar.MONTH);        System.out.println("The Minimum Month is: "                           + mon);    }} |
Output:
The Minimum year: 1 The Minimum Month is: 0
