a problem with Date class

[saikrishna cinux]

i am executing this code

import java.util.Date;


public class Test
{
public static void main(String ars[])

{

System.out.println(new Date().getYear());


}

}

I am getting the output as 105 instead of 2005


is there any error in java ?

Please have a look at java docs..

This is from java docs.

public int getYear()Deprecated. As of JDK version 1.1, replaced by Calendar.get(Calendar.YEAR) - 1900.

Returns a value that is the result of subtracting 1900 from the year that contains or begins with the instant in time represented by this Date object, as interpreted in the local time zone.

Also check this code

import java.util.*;
 

public class year 
{
public static void main(String ars[])
{
System.out.println(new Date().getYear());
System.out.println(new Date().getYear() + 1900 );
System.out.println(Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.YEAR) - 1900);
System.out.println(Calendar.getInstance().get(Calendar.YEAR));
}
}

Read the java docs when you're having a problem with a method in the API?!
