Help with fixing final output

Question about the task

Under discussion

If i input the Date "2013-08-18" the output is "DEC 31, 2013", after doing some debugging the error is happening on line 24 where i parse the string to a date variable. Any idea why this is happening?

package com.codegym.task.task09.task0922; import java.io.BufferedReader; import java.io.InputStreamReader; import java.text.SimpleDateFormat; import java.util.Date; import java.util.Locale; /* What's today's date? */ public class Solution { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("YYYY-MM-dd"); SimpleDateFormat newDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("MMM dd, YYYY", Locale.ENGLISH); String stringDate = reader.readLine(); Date ymd = dateFormat.parse(stringDate); System.out.println(newDateFormat.format(ymd).toUpperCase()); } }

Try with lower case 'y', it should be "yyyy-MM-dd".

ok try this: final String PATERN_1 = "yyyy-MM-dd"; final String PATERN_2 = "MMM dd, yyyy"; BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); SimpleDateFormat dataFormat = new SimpleDateFormat(PATERN_1); SimpleDateFormat formatTest = new SimpleDateFormat(PATERN_2, new Locale("pl","PL")); /* im from poland and my locakle look like : new Locale("pl","PL") */ String ss = reader.readLine(); Date data = dataFormat.parse(ss); ss = formatTest.format(data); System.out.println(ss);
