* This class represents a specific time in milliseconds since the epoch. * The epoch is 1970, January 1 00:00:00.0000 UTC. *
*
* Date is intended to reflect universal time coordinate (UTC),
* but this depends on the underlying host environment. Most operating systems
* don't handle the leap second, which occurs about once every year or
* so. The leap second is added to the last minute of the day on either
* the 30th of June or the 31st of December, creating a minute 61 seconds
* in length.
*
* The representations of the date fields are as follows: *
* Prior to JDK 1.1, this class was the sole class handling date and time
* related functionality. However, this particular solution was not
* amenable to internationalization. The new Calendar
* class should now be used to handle dates and times, with Date
* being used only for values in milliseconds since the epoch. The
* Calendar class, and its concrete implementations, handle
* the interpretation of these values into minutes, hours, days, months
* and years. The formatting and parsing of dates is left to the
* DateFormat class, which is able to handle the different
* types of date format which occur in different locales.

* Parses a String and returns the time, in milliseconds since the

* Standard U.S. time zone abbreviations are recognised, in

* A sequence of consecutive digits are recognised as a number, * and interpreted as follows: *
Date class is initialised.. Given a century,
* x, the year is assumed to be within the range x - 80 to x + 19. The value
* itself is then used as a match against the two last digits of one of these
* years. For example, take x to be 2004. A two-digit year is assumed to fall
* within the range x - 80 (1924) and x + 19 (2023). Thus, any intepreted value
* between 0 and 23 is assumed to be 2000 to 2023 and values between 24 and 99
* are taken as being 1924 to 1999. This only applies for the case of 2004.
* With a different year, the values will be interpreted differently. 2005
* will used 0 to 24 as 2000 to 2024 and 25 to 99 as 1925 to 1999, for example.
* This behaviour differs from that of SimpleDateFormat and is
* time-dependent (a two-digit year will be interpreted differently depending
* on the time the code is run).
* * A sequence of consecutive alphabetic characters is recognised as a word, * and interpreted as follows, in a case-insentive fashion: *
Date object and 1900.
