The setTime(Date dt) method in Calendar class is used to set Calendars time represented by this Calendar’s time value, with the given or passed date as a parameter.
Syntax:

Parameters: The method takes one parameter dt of Date type and refers to the given date that is to be set.
Return Value: The method does not return any value.
Below programs illustrate the working of setTime() Method of Calendar class:
Example 1:
// Java code to illustrate// setTime() method  import java.util.*;public class Calendar_Demo    extends GregorianCalendar {    public static void main(String[] args)    {        // Creating calendar objects        Calendar calndr1            = (Calendar)Calendar.getInstance();        Calendar calndr2            = (Calendar)Calendar.getInstance();          // Displaying the current date        System.out.println("The Current"                           + " System Date: "                           + calndr1.getTime());          // Setting to a different date        calndr1.set(Calendar.MONTH, 5);        calndr1.set(Calendar.YEAR, 2006);        calndr1.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, 15);        Date dt = calndr1.getTime();          // Setting the timevalue        calndr2.setTime(dt);          // Displaying the new date        System.out.println("The modified"                           + " Date:"                           + calndr2.getTime());    }} |
Output:
The Current System Date: Fri Feb 22 07:33:13 UTC 2019 The modified Date:Sun Jun 18 07:33:13 UTC 2006
Example 2:
// Java code to illustrate// setTime() method  import java.util.*;  public class Calendar_Demo    extends GregorianCalendar {      public static void main(String[] args)    {        // Creating calendar objects        Calendar calndr1            = (Calendar)Calendar.getInstance();        Calendar calndr2            = (Calendar)Calendar.getInstance();          // Displaying the current date        System.out.println("The Current"                           + " System Date: "                           + calndr1.getTime());          // Setting to a different date        calndr1.set(Calendar.MONTH, 10);        calndr1.set(Calendar.YEAR, 1995);        calndr1.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, 20);        Date dt = calndr1.getTime();          // Setting the timevalue        calndr2.setTime(dt);          // Displaying the new date        System.out.println("The modified"                           + " Date: "                           + calndr2.getTime());    }} |
Output:
The Current System Date: Fri Feb 22 07:33:20 UTC 2019 The modified Date: Fri Nov 24 07:33:20 UTC 1995
