Re: date arithmetic Reply #1 - Jun 18th, 2008, 10:01am   there is a Java class called Calendar for such things. I think the syntax is something like Code: //init a new calendar to today's date Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance(); // add one day calendar.add(DAY, 1); // print the result println(calendar.get(YEAR)); println(calendar.get(MONTH)); println(calendar.get(DAY)); but you should check the reference : http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/util/Calendar.html
