The 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.
