SimpleDateFormat not returning expectec output?

[Pramod P Deore]

Hi all, I am converting string to date . following is my code but it is not returning expected output.

import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;

public class StringToDate
{
	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
 		SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss");
		try
		{
			Date convertedDate = (Date)dateFormat.parse("2011-06-20 16:11:00");
			System.out.println("Converted date is"+convertedDate);
			//myDate[i] = convertedDate;
		}
		catch (ParseException e)
		{
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
 
 	}
} 

and it returns output as :

Converted date isThu Jan 20 16:11:00 IST 2011

But I think output must be as

Converted date isThu Jun 20 16:11:00 IST 2011

Why it shows month as Jan instead of Jun?

Read the API more closely. What's the format symbol for a two digit month? (Hint: it isn't "mm")

SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss");

you've used 'mm' for both minutes and month
'MM' stands for month and 'mm' stands for minutes

Oh ! Thanks Darryl Burke . Its MM instead of mm. Thanks again.
