Adding Dates...

[Elton1984]

Hiz all,
I have a little problem here.. Example: (I'm supposed to add 4 days to today's date (22/6/04) and display the date that is 4 days later.)

Oh ya, is there also a way to display all the dates that between today's date and the date 4 days later??

Anyone have any ideas on hw to get it to work??

Thanx in Advance,
Elton

Have you checked the documentation ?

http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/Date.html

Generally, what you do is :

long today = (new Date()).getTime();

long oneMinute = 60000L;
long oneHour = oneMinute * 60;
long oneDay = oneHour * 24;

long fourDaysFromToday = (today + (oneDay * 4));

Date newDate = new Date(fourDaysFromToday);

Before you ask about how to parse date strings, please first read the documentation on SimpleDateFormat :

Also it is helpful to examine the GregorianCalendar class.With add method of GregorianCalendar you can make several operations.
