The abstract Calendar class provides a set of methods that allows you to convert a time in milliseconds to a number of useful components. Some examples of the type of information that can be provided are year, month, day, hour, minute, and second.
Formatting Time and Date -
-
One of the more powerful conversion specifiers is %t.
-
It lets you format time and date information.
-
The %t specifier works a bit differently than the others because it requires the use of a suffix to describe the portion and precise format of the time or date desired.
-
The suffixes are shown in Table 18-13. For example, to display minutes, you would use %tM, where M indicates minutes in a two-character field. The argument corresponding to the %t specifier must be of type Calendar, Date, Long, or long.
Let us see an example which describe some formates -
