How to set a null value for a date in Java?

In Java, the Date object cannot represent a null value as it specifically represents a date and time. However, you can use special values to represent null, such as using null or a specific date. Here is an example of using null to represent a null value:

The date variable is initialized as null.

If you want to use a specific date to represent a null value, you can use a specific date like January 1, 1970.

Date date = new Date(0); // Use January 1, 1970 as a null value representation

Before using the Date object, you should check if it is null to avoid a null pointer exception.
