How to create a date object in Java?

In Java, you can create date objects using either the java.util.Date class or the java.time.LocalDate class.

The way to create a date object using the java.util.Date class is as follows:

import java.util.Date;

// 创建当前日期对象
Date currentDate = new Date();

// 创建指定日期对象（年份是从1900年开始计算，月份从0开始计算）
Date specificDate = new Date(120, 0, 1); // 表示2020年1月1日

The way to create a date object using the java.time.LocalDate class is as follows:

import java.time.LocalDate;

// 创建当前日期对象
LocalDate currentDate = LocalDate.now();

// 创建指定日期对象
LocalDate specificDate = LocalDate.of(2020, 1, 1); // 表示2020年1月1日

Please note that the java.util.Date class is the old date class in Java, while the java.time.LocalDate class is the new date class in Java 8 and later versions, it is recommended to use the new date class.
