Date class in Java

Date is a Java class that can represent a timestamp.

The example shown below will give you a good idea of how it works :



%tc = Complete date and time
%tr = just the time
%tA = Day of the week
%tB = Month
%td = day

< is just another flag in the format specifier that tells the formatter to "use the previous argument again." It saves you from retyping the arguments.
