    Ho do I fix Gregorian Calender Displaying wring date

    Hi the code below will result in this being printed to screen:
    Today Year: 2005
    Today Month: 8
    Today Day: 13
    Today Hour: 8
    Today Minute: 59
    Today date: 2005-8-13

    Yet the actual date is 2005-9-13. Can anyone tell me why the month keeps comeing out wrong?

    import java.util.*;
    import java.util.Date;
    import java.text.*;
    import java.text.DateFormat;

    public class dates{
    public static void main(String[] args){
    Calendar today = Calendar.getInstance();
    System.out.println("Today Year: " + today.get(Calendar.YEAR));
    System.out.println("Today Month: " + today.get(Calendar.MONTH));
    System.out.println("Today Day: " + today.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH));
    System.out.println("Today Hour: " + today.get(Calendar.HOUR));
    System.out.println("Today Minute: " + today.get(Calendar.MINUTE));

    System.out.println("Today date: " + today.get(Calendar.YEAR)+ "-" + today.get(Calendar.MONTH) + "-" + today.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH));
    }
    }

    Calendar months are zero-indexed (e.g., January = 0, February = 1, etc.). The results you receive are correct. If you want to format the output of the date, use java.text.DateFormat and/or java.text.SimpleDateFormat.
