SimpleTimeZone setStartYear() method in Java

The SimpleTimeZone class contains the setStartYear() method is used to specify the year when daylight saving time begins.

Syntax:

Parameters: The single parameter year, which indicates the year when daylight saving time begins, is accepted by the function.

Return Value: No value is returned by the method.

Exception: There are no exceptions thrown by the function.

Example 1:

The code illustrates how to build a time zone object using the SimpleTimeZone class. It gives the SimpleTimeZone the ID "US" and initializes it with a raw offset of 500 milliseconds. The start year for daylight savings time modifications can be adjusted to 2000 using the setStartYear() function. The present state of the SimpleTimeZone object is displayed by printing it both before and after the start year is set. The code focuses on establishing and changing a SimpleTimeZone instance, highlighting fundamental time zone manipulation but leaving out any configuration related to daylight savings.

Implementation:

FileName: SimpleTimeZoneExample1.java

Output:

 
The SimpleTimeZone is given by : java.util.SimpleTimeZone[id=US,offset=500,dstSavings=3600000,useDaylight=false,startYear=0,startMode=0,startMonth=0,startDay=0,startDayOfWeek=0,startTime=0,startTimeMode=0,endMode=0,endMonth=0,endDay=0,endDayOfWeek=0,endTime=0,endTimeMode=0]
From the StartYear to the set to 2000

The SimpleTimeZone is given by : java.util.SimpleTimeZone[id=US,offset=500,dstSavings=3600000,useDaylight=false,startYear=2000,startMode=0,startMonth=0,startDay=0,startDayOfWeek=0,startTime=0,startTimeMode=0,endMode=0,endMonth=0,endDay=0,endDayOfWeek=0,endTime=0,endTimeMode=0]   

Example 2:

The code creates an object called SimpleTimeZone and gives it the ID "US" with a raw offset of 720 milliseconds. By printing the object's initial state and then using the setStartYear() method to set the daylight savings start year to 2003, it illustrates how to use SimpleTimeZone fundamentally. Following that, an updated state of the SimpleTimeZone is produced, which now reflects the modified start year. Without requiring any further daylight savings or timezone-specific adjustments, the code's primary goal is to initialize and alter a straightforward time zone object.

Implementation:

FileName: SimpleTimeZoneExample2.java

Output:

 
The SimpleTimeZone is given by : java.util.SimpleTimeZone[id=US,offset=720,dstSavings=3600000,useDaylight=false,startYear=0,startMode=0,startMonth=0,startDay=0,startDayOfWeek=0,startTime=0,startTimeMode=0,endMode=0,endMonth=0,endDay=0,endDayOfWeek=0,endTime=0,endTimeMode=0]

 From the StartYear to the set to 2003

The SimpleTimeZone is given by : java.util.SimpleTimeZone[id=US,offset=720,dstSavings=3600000,useDaylight=false,startYear=2003,startMode=0,startMonth=0,startDay=0,startDayOfWeek=0,startTime=0,startTimeMode=0,endMode=0,endMonth=0,endDay=0,endDayOfWeek=0,endTime=0,endTimeMode=0]
