Question regarding Calendar in Java

Hi,
I have a question regarding the use of Calendar.

User will give year (e.g 2006,2007, etc.) as input. I have to find out the "date" of the "first friday" of each month through out the year. Then I have to display thaose as result.
How can I do that? Can anyone please help me for solving this problem?
Can any one please give me any hint by sample program code?

Thanks

Check this code.

import java.util.*; public class FindFriday { public FindFriday() { } public static void main (String[] args) { /** get The year from user */ int yearFromUser = 2007; /** Using US local */ Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance(Locale.US); /** setting the calendar to to year from user , first month , first day */ c.set(yearFromUser,0,1); while(c.get(Calendar.YEAR)==yearFromUser) { if(c.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK)==Calendar.FRIDAY) { System.out.print("First Friday in Month : "); System.out.print((c.get(Calendar.MONTH)+1)); System.out.println(" ,is on Day :"+c.get(Calendar.DATE)); c.add(Calendar.MONTH,1); c.set(Calendar.DATE,1); } else { c.add(Calendar.DATE,1); } } } }

There is a very simple answer to when you should use Calendar, and its predecessor, Date: never. It may occasionally be necessary to use this class when working with databases, however.
Look in the Java® Tutorials always use the datatypes described there. Beginners may find that they spend a long time only using these three classes:- 1 2 3. The documentation for the time package says,

. . . most applications can begin with just five date/time types.

The thread you have found was written seven years before the java.time package was introduced.
