The isLenient() method in DateFormat class is used to know and understand whether the parsing of date and time of this DateFormat object is to be considered lenient or not.
Syntax:
public boolean isLenient()
Parameters: The method does not take any parameters.
Return Value: The method either returns True if the interpretation of this Calendar is lenient else False.
Below programs illustrate the working of isLenient() Method of Calendar class:
Example 1:
// Java code to illustrate// isLenient() method  import java.text.*;import java.util.*;  public class DateFormat_Demo {    public static void main(String[] args)    {        // Initializing the first formatter        DateFormat DFormat            = DateFormat.getDateTimeInstance();        System.out.println("Object: "                           + DFormat);          // String formatting        String str            = DFormat.format(new Date());          // Displaying the string time        System.out.println(str);          System.out.println("Leniency: "                           + DFormat.isLenient());    }} |
Output:
Object: java.text.SimpleDateFormat@7945516e Mar 28, 2019 4:23:01 AM Leniency: true
Example 2:
// Java code to illustrate// isLenient() method  import java.text.*;import java.util.*;  public class DateFormat_Demo {    public static void main(String[] argv)    {        // Initializing the first formatter        DateFormat DFormat            = DateFormat.getDateInstance();        System.out.println("Object: "                           + DFormat);          // String formatting        String str            = DFormat.format(new Date());          // Displaying the string time        System.out.println(str);          System.out.println("Leniency: "                           + DFormat.isLenient());    }} |
Output:
Object: java.text.SimpleDateFormat@ce9bf0a5 Mar 28, 2019 Leniency: true
