SimpleTimeZone Class setStartYear() method

• setStartYear() method is available in java.util package.
• setStartYear() method is used to set the DST (Daylight Savings Time) starting year of this SimpleTimeZone.
• setStartYear() method is a non-static method, it is accessible with the class object only and if we try to access the method with the class name then we will get an error.
• setStartYear() method does not throw an exception at the time of setting start year.

Syntax:

    public void setStartYear(int yy);

Parameter(s):

• int yy – represents the starting year of DST.

Return value:

The return type of the method is void, it returns nothing.

Example:

// Java program to demonstrate the example 
// of void setStartYear(int yy) method 
// of SimpleTimeZone

import java.util.*;

public class SetStartYearOfSimpleTimeZone {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        // Instantiates SimpleTimeZone object
        SimpleTimeZone s_tz = new SimpleTimeZone(360, "FRANCE");

        // By using setStartYear() method
        // isto set the starting year of
        // DST savings in this SimpleTimeZone
        s_tz.setStartYear(2010);

        // Display RawOffset
        System.out.print("s_tz.setStartYear(2010): ");
        System.out.println(s_tz);
    }
}

Output

s_tz.setStartYear(2010): java.util.SimpleTimeZone[id=FRANCE,offset=360,dstSavings=3600000,useDaylight=false,startYear=2010,startMode=0,startMonth=0,startDay=0,startDayOfWeek=0,startTime=0,startTimeMode=0,endMode=0,endMonth=0,endDay=0,endDayOfWeek=0,endTime=0,endTimeMode=0]
