Question

Can anybody help?

        System.out.println(new SimpleDateFormat(\"MM/dd/yyyy\", Locale.ENGLISH).parse(\"120/1         


        

Answer 1

You have to invoke setLenient with false - otherwise SimpleDateFormat will try to "figure out" what month that is. So, first create SimpleDateFormat and invoke sdf.setLenient(false). Now when parsing, you will get exception.
