What kind of different date formats are allowed for the Date constructor with the string parameter?
• A. That constructor is now deprecated, so you should not use it. Instead, you should convert a date/time String into a Date like this: // don’t forget to set the default TZ if needed. DateFormat HHmm = new SimpleDateFormat( “HH:mm” ); HHmm.setTimeZone( TimeZone.getDefault() ); Date lunch = HHmm.parse( “12:30” ); System.out.println( lunch ); The above code would result in (when in the MST timezone), Thu Jan 01 12:30:00 MST 1970 To parse other date and time fields, refer to the SimpleDateFormat documentation.
