5) How to calculate number of days between two dates – While building a complex java code you may have faced a situation where you had to calculate number of day between two dates. This post includes a code which does this work for you so you don’t have to code yourself just have this code and play with java.
6) Java date format validation – It has a java program which checks whether the format of input date is valid or not. Here you can give your own format as input, it works for all formats of date.

May 11, 2016 at 9:36 PMThe whole internet has tons of example wherein a date value is input into a “string Type” or “int type” and then using formatting classes “converted” into a Date type. Does it mean that Java has no direct capability like many other languages to take input directly into a “date” type variable using scanner class or any other type of input class. Maybe i have used other types of business development languages that allow one to input a date value into a date ‘type’ variable and validate it. Its extremely strange to me that i don’t see such examples in Java. Is there a way to do this at all in Java ? and why does it not exist anyway as a simple way to inut into Java ? And what are the different ways that i can input something in the date format as “mm/dd/yyyy” and then validate it ?
Thanks.
