Cloning a SimpleTimeZone Instane of India Timezone Example
The following example shows the usage of Java SimpleTimeZone clone() method to create a clone of SimpleTimeZone object. We've created a SimpleTimeZone using India then printed it. Then we've created the clone of this object using clone() method and printed it as well.
package com.tutorialspoint;
import java.util.SimpleTimeZone;
public class SimpleTimeZoneDemo {
public static void main( String args[] ) {
// create simple time zone object
SimpleTimeZone stobj = new SimpleTimeZone(720,"India");
System.out.println("Original obj: " + stobj);
// clone the object
Object cloneObj = stobj.clone();
System.out.println("Clone obj: " + cloneObj);
}
}
Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result.
Original obj: java.util.SimpleTimeZone[id=India,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] Clone obj: java.util.SimpleTimeZone[id=India,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]
Cloning a SimpleTimeZone Instane of America Timezone Example
The following example shows the usage of Java SimpleTimeZone clone() method to create a clone of SimpleTimeZone object. We've created a SimpleTimeZone using America/Los_Angeles then printed it. Then we've created the clone of this object using clone() method and printed it as well.
package com.tutorialspoint;
import java.util.SimpleTimeZone;
public class SimpleTimeZoneDemo {
public static void main( String args[] ) {
// create simple time zone object
SimpleTimeZone stobj = new SimpleTimeZone(720,"America/Los_Angeles");
System.out.println("Original obj: " + stobj);
// clone the object
Object cloneObj = stobj.clone();
System.out.println("Clone obj: " + cloneObj);
}
}
Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result.
Original obj: java.util.SimpleTimeZone[id=America/Los_Angeles,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] Clone obj: java.util.SimpleTimeZone[id=America/Los_Angeles,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]
Cloning a SimpleTimeZone Instane of Europe Timezone Example
The following example shows the usage of Java SimpleTimeZone clone() method to create a clone of SimpleTimeZone object. We've created a SimpleTimeZone using Europe/Paris then printed it. Then we've created the clone of this object using clone() method and printed it as well.
package com.tutorialspoint;
import java.util.SimpleTimeZone;
public class SimpleTimeZoneDemo {
public static void main( String args[] ) {
// create simple time zone object
SimpleTimeZone stobj = new SimpleTimeZone(720,"Europe/Paris");
System.out.println("Original obj: " + stobj);
// clone the object
Object cloneObj = stobj.clone();
System.out.println("Clone obj: " + cloneObj);
}
}
Output
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result.
Original obj: java.util.SimpleTimeZone[id=Europe/Paris,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] Clone obj: java.util.SimpleTimeZone[id=Europe/Paris,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]
