Date conversion

Question

I have a date variable

var date: Date = new Date()

then I have converted this date to String:

var dateStr = date.toString(         


        

Answer 1

Your first try should give you a ClassCastException because you cannot cast.aString to a Date. the second try does not seem to be using the right format that Date.toString() prints. The toString method of java.utility.Date returns a String in the format specified in the javadoc.
