package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.util.GregorianCalendar;

public class GregorianCalendarDemo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {

      // create a new calendar
      GregorianCalendar cal = (GregorianCalendar) GregorianCalendar.getInstance();

      // print the current date and time
      System.out.println("" + cal.getTime());

      // is week date supported
      System.out.println(cal.isWeekDateSupported());
   }
}
