    //File: TestDateOld.java

//* If you have not handled dates before, please use the code in TestDate.java
//*  in package: assign2_template.
//* Use the code here only if you have used dates in Java 7 API before.

//* You don’t need to change these two files. 
//*   Just use them as a reference for handling date values.

//* This file is for demo how to use the old Java 7 API.
//*   for handling dates related to Assign 2.

//* Simple examples of using Java classes: java.util.Date, java.text.DateFormat, and java.util.Locale.
//* For Assign 2, you only need java.util.Date and java.text.DateFormat if your operating system date and time is USA format.
//* Note about using the constructor of java.util.Date class.
// In all methods of class Date that accept or return year, month, date (day in a month), hours, minutes, and seconds values, the following representations are used:
//    A year y is represented by the integer y - 1900.
//    A month is represented by an integer from 0 to 11; 0 is January, 1 is February, and so forth; thus 11 is December.
//    A date (day in a month) is represented by an integer from 1 to 31 in the usual manner.
//* Note about Date format styles and Locales
//  Sample Date format styles in 2 sample locales
//  Style  U.S. Locale             French Locale
//  DEFAULT Jun 30, 2009            30 june 2009
//  SHORT  6/30/09                 30/06/09
//  MEDIUM     Jun 30, 2009            30 june 2009
//  LONG   June 30, 2009           30 june 2009
//  FULL   Tuesday, June 30, 2009     mardi 30 june 2009
