java.util.Date is generating a wrong date?

Question

Here\'s my code:

java.util.Date TODAY = new java.util.Date();     
SimpleDateFormat SDF = new SimpleDateFormat( \"YYYY-MM-DD\" );
System.out.println ( SDF.fo         


        

Answer 1

What may be the reason behind this Wrong Output ?

Your assumptions about the date format string are wrong, the output is correct.

y   Year
Y   Week year
D   Day in year
d   Day in month
M   Month in year
m   Minute in hour

Y Week year will usually give incorrect results around new year. D will give incorrect results from February. So your format appeared fine most of last month.
