Date Classes in Standard Library

• Many programs manipulate dates such as
  "Saturday, February 3, 2001"
• Date class:
  

  Date now = new Date();
  
     // constructs current date/time
  
  System.out.println(now.toString());
  
     // prints date such as
  
     // Sat Feb 03 16:34:10 PST 2001
  

• Date class encapsulates point in time
