Write a Java program to get a date before and after 1 year and compare it to the current date.

Sample Solution:

Java Code:

import java.util.*;
public class Exercise17 {
   public static void main(String[] args)
    {
      Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
      Date cdate = cal.getTime();
      // get next year
      cal.add(Calendar.YEAR, 1); 
      Date nyear = cal.getTime();
      //get previous year
      cal.add(Calendar.YEAR, -2); 
      Date pyear = cal.getTime();
      System.out.println("\nCurrent Date : " + cdate);
      System.out.println("\nDate before 1 year : " + pyear);
      System.out.println("\nDate after 1 year  : " + nyear+"\n");  	
    }
}

Sample Output:

Current Date : Tue Jun 20 17:21:52 IST 2017
                              
Date before 1 year : Mon Jun 20 17:21:52 IST 2016 
                                                                                         
Date after 1 year  : Wed Jun 20 17:21:52 IST 2018

N.B.: The result may varry for your system date and time.
