The other versions of the
set()
method are:
set(int year, int month, int day, int hour, int minute)
set(int year, int month, int day, int hour, int minute, int second)
set(int field, int value)
It's obvious what the first two of these do. In each case the fields not explicitly set will be left at their
original values. The third version of
set()
sets a field specified by one of the integer constants defined
in the
Calendar
class for this purpose:
