Example 1:
// Java code to illustrate// set() method  import java.util.*;public class Calendar_Demo {    public static void main(String args[])    {          // Creating a calendar        Calendar calndr = Calendar.getInstance();          // Displaying the month        System.out.println("The Current Month is: "                           + calndr.get(                                 Calendar.MONTH));          // Replacing with a new value        calndr.set(Calendar.MONTH, 11);          // Displaying the modified result        System.out.println("Altered Month is: "                           + calndr.get(                                 Calendar.MONTH));    }} |
Output:
The Current Month is: 1 Altered Month is: 11
Example 2:
// Java code to illustrate// set() method  import java.util.*;public class Calendar_Demo {    public static void main(String args[])    {          // Creating a calendar        Calendar calndr = Calendar.getInstance();          // Displaying the Year        System.out.println("The Current year is: "                           + calndr.get(                                 Calendar.YEAR));          // Replacing with a new value        calndr.set(Calendar.YEAR, 1996);          // Displaying the modified result        System.out.println("Altered year is: "                           + calndr.get(                                 Calendar.YEAR));    }} |
