Below are some examples to understand the implementation of the Calendar.after() function in a better way :
Example 1 :
// Java code show the usage of// after() method of Calendar classimport java.util.*;  class GFG {  // Driver codepublic static void main(String[] args)             throws InterruptedException {                      // creating calendar object    Calendar cal_obj1 = Calendar.getInstance();                      // printing current date    System.out.println("Time 1 : " + cal_obj1.getTime());          // creating Calendar object         Calendar cal_obj2 = Calendar.getInstance();          // printing current date    System.out.println("Time 2 : " + cal_obj2.getTime());                      // checking if 1st date is after 2nd date    // and printing the result    System.out.println(cal_obj1.after(cal_obj2));    }} |
Output :
Time 1 : Thu Mar 01 09:26:04 UTC 2018 Time 2 : Thu Mar 01 09:26:04 UTC 2018 false
Example 2 :
// Java code to show the usage of// after() method of Calendar classimport java.util.*;  class GFG {          // Driver code    public static void main(String[] args)    {          // creating calendar objects        Calendar cal_obj1 = Calendar.getInstance();        Calendar cal_obj2 = Calendar.getInstance();          // displaying the current date        System.out.println("Current date is : " + cal_obj1.getTime());          // changing year in cal_obj2 calendar        cal_obj2.set(Calendar.YEAR, 2010);          // check if calendar date is after current date        System.out.println("Result : " + cal_obj1.after(cal_obj2));    }} |
Output :
Current date is : Thu Mar 01 09:27:19 UTC 2018 Result : true
