MY month is shown 1 month ahead.

I feed a year, a month and a date into the int variables yy,mm,dd respectively and then call the code below. for example if I assign 2001 to yy and 1 to mm and 1 to dd the date it shows its Feb 1, 2001. Why is this happening?


calendar.set(yy,mm,dd);
java.util.Date date=calendar.getTime()

System.out.println(date); <- showing date 1 month ahead

You need to give the month as 0 if you want January.For e.g.

public static void main(String[] args) {
Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
c.set(2001,0,1);
java.util.Date date=c.getTime();
System.out.println(date);
}
