Date format problem

Hi All

I'm new to java. I am currently creating an account class and I am having a problem with the date format. How can I get the date and time to appear as year , month , day , time. The code is below

Code:

---

import java.util.Calendar;


public class Account2
{
        public int accountId;
        protected double balance;
                public int annualInterestRate;
                Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance ();

        // Constructor to initialize balance
        public Account2( int accountNumber,double amount, int interestRate, Calendar dateCreated  )
        {
            accountId = accountNumber;
                balance = amount;
                annualInterestRate = interestRate;
                c.set(2010,2,7,12,01);


        }

        // Overloaded constructor for empty balance
        public Account2()
        {
                balance = 0.0;

        }

        public void deposit( double amount )
        {
                balance += amount;
        }

        public double withdraw( double amount )
        {
                // See if amount can be withdrawn
                if (balance >= amount)
                {
                        balance -= amount;
                        return amount;
                }
                else
                // Withdrawal not allowed
                        return 0.0;
        }

        public double getbalance()
        {
                return balance;
        }

        public int getaccountId ()
{
return accountId;
}

public double getMonthlyInterestRate() {
return annualInterestRate;
}

public Calendar getc (){
        return c;}

}

class AccountDemo
{
        public static void main(String args[])
        {
                // Create an empty account
                Account2 my_account = new Account2();

                                my_account.accountId = 1122;

                                my_account.balance = 20000;
                                my_account.c.set (2010,02,15,10,40) ;

                // Deposit money
                my_account.deposit(3000.00);

                // Print current balance
                System.out.println ("Current balance " +
                        my_account.getbalance());

                // Withdraw money
                my_account.withdraw(2500.00);

                // Print remaining balance
                System.out.println ("Remaining balance " +
                        my_account.getbalance());


                        // Print remaining balance
                System.out.println ("Your account was created on" +
                        my_account.getc());


        }
}

Where do you have the date in your program?

Have you looked at the DateFormat class?

Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance ();

then in the accountdemo i set the date and time as.

my_account.c.set (2010,02,15,10,40)

I will look at the dateformat class to see if this helps. Thanks

Code:

---

import java.util.*;


public class Account2
{
        public int accountId;
        protected double balance;
                public int annualInterestRate;
                Date dateCreated = new Date () ;

        // Constructor
        public Account2( int accountNumber,double amount, int interestRate, Date dateCreated  )
        {
            accountId = accountNumber;
                balance = amount;
                annualInterestRate = interestRate;
                dateCreated = dateCreated;


        }

        // Overloaded constructor for empty balance
        public Account2()
        {
                balance = 0.0;

        }

        public void deposit( double amount )
        {
                balance += amount;
        }

        public double withdraw( double amount )
        {
                // See if amount can be withdrawn
                if (balance >= amount)
                {
                        balance -= amount;
                        return amount;
                }
                else
                // Withdrawal not allowed
                        return 0.0;
        }

        public double getbalance()
        {
                return balance;
        }

        public int getaccountId ()
{
return accountId;
}

public double getMonthlyInterestRate() {
return annualInterestRate;
}

public Date getdateCreated (){
        return dateCreated;}

}

                                my_account.accountId = 1122;

                                my_account.balance = 20000;

                        my_account.getbalance());


                        // Print date of account creation
                System.out.println ("Your account was created on " +
                        my_account.dateCreated.toString());


        }
}
