Convert java.util.Date to String

To convert a java.util.Date object to a String, you can use the format method of the SimpleDateFormat class from the java.text package. The SimpleDateFormat class provides a convenient way to convert a Date object to a String based on a specified format.

Here's an example of how you can convert a Date object to a String using the SimpleDateFormat class:

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    // Create a Date object
    Date date = new Date();

    // Create a SimpleDateFormat object with the desired format
    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss");

    // Convert the Date object to a String
    String str = sdf.format(date);

    // Print the String
    System.out.println(str);
  }
}

This code will print the current date and time in the format yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.

You can specify any format that you want using the SimpleDateFormat class. For example, to print the date in the format dd/MM/yyyy, you can use the following code:

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/
