How to get previous dates using scala

Post author By Usha Nandhini
Post date October 2, 2021

In this post, we will see how to get previous dates using scala.

Scala program – method 1

ZonedDateTime and ZoneId – to get the date and time based on the specific zone id which we prefers to

DateTimeFormatter – to convert the date and time to a specific format

minusDays function helps us to get the previous dates using scala as below.

import java.time.{ZonedDateTime, ZoneId}
import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter

object PreviousDate {
  def main(arr: Array[String]): Unit = {
    val previousday = ZonedDateTime.now(ZoneId.of("UTC")).minusDays(1)
    val formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm'Z'")
    val result = formatter format previousday
    println(result)
  }
}

Scala program – method 2

object YesterdayDate {
  def main(arr: Array[String]): Unit = {
    val today = java.time.LocalDate.now
    val yesterday_date= java.time.LocalDate.now.minusDays(1)
    println(today)
    println(yesterday_date)

  }
}

Scala program – method 3

import java.util._
import java.lang._
import java.io._
import java.time.Instant
import java.time.temporal.ChronoUnit


object YesterdayDate {
  def main(arr: Array[String]): Unit = {
    val now = Instant.now
    val yesterday = now.minus(1, ChronoUnit.DAYS)
    System.out.println(now)
    System.out.println(yesterday)
  }
}

No Comments on change timezone of date in java

In this post, we will learn to change timezone of date in java

In java by default new Date() will give you the system/server timezone.

Syntax

dateFormat.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));

Example


import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.TimeZone;

public class ChangeTimeZon {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		try {
			Date date = new Date();
			System.out.println("Current Date Time : " + date);
			DateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss z");
			// In below line we are mentioned to convert into UTC
			dateFormat.setTimeZone(TimeZone.getTimeZone("UTC"));
			String utcFormat = dateFormat.format(date);
			System.out.println("After converting into UTC format: " + utcFormat);

		} catch (Exception e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}

}

Output

Current Date Time : Thu Jun 18 15:29:35 IST 2020
After converting into UTC format: 2020-06-18 09:59:35 UTC

Conclusion

In the above post, we learned to change timezone of date in java

No Comments on how to add/subtract months to the date in pyspark

In this post, We will learn how to add/subtract months to the date in pyspark with examples.

Creating dataframe – Sample program

With the following program , we first create a dataframe df with dt as of its column populated with date value '2019-02-28'

import findspark
findspark.init()
from pyspark import SparkContext,SparkConf
from pyspark.sql.functions import *
sc=SparkContext.getOrCreate()
#Creating a dataframe df with date column
df=spark.createDataFrame([('2019-02-28',)],['dt'])
print("Printing df below")
df.show()

Output

The dataframe is created with the date value as below .

Printing df below
+----------+
|        dt|
+----------+
|2019-02-28|
+----------+

Adding months – Sample program

In the Next step , we will create another dataframe df1 by adding months to the column dt using add_months()

date_format() helps us to convert the string '2019-02-28' into date by specifying the date format within the function .

You could get to know more about the date_format() from https://beginnersbug.com/how-to-change-the-date-format-in-pyspark/

#Adding the months 
df1=df.withColumn("months_add",add_months(date_format('dt','yyyy-MM-dd'),1))
print("Printing df1 below")

Output

add_months(column name , number of months ) requires two inputs – date column to be considered and the number of months to be incremented or decremented

Printing df1 below
+----------+----------+
|        dt|months_add|
+----------+----------+
|2019-02-28|2019-03-31|
+----------+----------+

Subtracting months – Sample program

We can even decrement the months by giving the value negatively

#Subtracting the months 
df2=df.withColumn("months_sub",add_months(date_format('dt','yyyy-MM-dd'),-1))
print("Printing df2 below")

Output

Hence we get the one month back date using the same function .

Printing df2 below
+----------+----------+
|        dt|months_sub|
+----------+----------+
|2019-02-28|2019-01-31|
+----------+----------+

calculate number days between two dates using java

Post author By Rajesh Kumar
Post date March 2, 2020
No Comments on calculate number days between two dates using java

In this tutorial, we will learn about calculate number days between two dates using java

There are lot of ways to calculate number of days between two dates in java

Using Java 8

In below example, we are going to use ChronoUnit to calculate days between two days

Syntax

ChronoUnit.DAYS.between(startDate, endDate);

Example


import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.Month;
import java.time.temporal.ChronoUnit;

public class CalculateDaysBetweenDatesJava8 {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		try {
			// Start date is 2020-03-01 (YYYY-MM-dd)
			LocalDate startDate = LocalDate.of(2020, Month.MARCH, 1);

			// end date is 2020-03--03 (YYYY-MM-dd)
			LocalDate endDate = LocalDate.of(2020, Month.MARCH, 3);

			long numberOfDays = ChronoUnit.DAYS.between(startDate, endDate);

			System.out.println("Number of days " + numberOfDays);

		} catch (Exception e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}

}

Output

Number of days 2

Above example is easiest way to calculate days between two dates

Int the below example we are going to use traditional way to calculate days between two days

Below Java 8

In below example we are going to use GregorianCalendar to calculate number of days between two dates

Example


import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.GregorianCalendar;

public class CalculateDaysUsingCalender {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		try {
			Calendar startDate = new GregorianCalendar();
			Calendar endDate = new GregorianCalendar();

			// Start date is 2020-03-01 (YYYY-MM-dd)
			startDate.set(2020, 03, 1);

			// end date is 2020-03--03 (YYYY-MM-dd)
			endDate.set(2020, 03, 3);

			// subtract emdTime-StartTime and divide by (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24)
			int i = (int) ((endDate.getTime().getTime() - startDate.getTime().getTime()) / (1000 * 60 * 60 * 24));
			System.out.println("Number of days " + i);

		} catch (Exception e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}

}

Output

Number of days 2

How to change the date format in pyspark

Post author By Usha Nandhini
Post date February 28, 2020
No Comments on How to change the date format in pyspark

In this post, We will learn how to change the date format in pyspark

Creating dataframe

Inorder to understand this better , We will create a dataframe having date format as yyyy-MM-dd .

Note: createDataFrame – underlined letters need to be in capital

#Importing libraries required
import findspark
findspark.init()
from pyspark import SparkContext,SparkConf
from pyspark.sql.functions import *

sc=SparkContext.getOrCreate()
#creating dataframe with date column
df=spark.createDataFrame([('2019-02-28',)],['dt'])
df.show()

Output

With the above code , a dataframe named df is created with dt as one its column as below.

+----------+
|        dt|
+----------+
|2019-02-28|
+----------+

Changing the format

With the dataframe created from the above code , the function date_format() is used to modify its format .

date_format(<column_name>,<format required>)

#Changing the format of the date
df.select(date_format('dt','yyyy-MM-dd').alias('new_dt')).show()

Output

Thus we convert the date format 2019-02-28 to the format 2019/02/28

+----------+
|    new_dt|
+----------+
|2019/02/28|
+----------+

compare two dates in java example

Post author By Rajesh Kumar
Post date February 20, 2020
No Comments on compare two dates in java example

In this post, we will learn to compare two dates in java example

There are multiple ways to compare two dates in java.

In the First example we will learn to compare dates using compareTo() method

While using compareTo() method we are having 3 chances of output. Below are the possible output

0 – When both the dates are equal

1 – When date 1 is greater than date 2

-1 – When date 1 is lesser than date 2

Syntax

date1.compareTo(date2)

Example


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

public class DateCompareExample {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		try {

			String date1 = "22/02/2020";
			String date2 = "21/02/2020";
			DateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("DD/MM/yyyy");
			Date dateObj1 = format.parse(date1);
			Date dateObj2 = format.parse(date2);

			// If Both the date are same comparTo Method will return 0
			if (dateObj1.compareTo(dateObj2) == 0) {
				System.out.println("Both the dates are Equal !!");
			} // If date1 greater than date 2 it will return 1
			else if (dateObj1.compareTo(dateObj2) > 0) {

				System.out.println("Date 1 is greater than date 2");
			} // If date1 lesser than date 2 it will return -1
			else {
				System.out.println("Date 1 is lesser than date 2");
			}

		} catch (Exception e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}

	}

}

Date 1 is greater than date 2

Using equals(),after(),before()

In the above example, we learned using compareTo() method. But we can compare dates using predefined functions also.

Below example is another way to compare two dates in java

equals() – return true if both the dates are equal

after() – return true if date 1 greater than date 2

before() – return true if date 1 lesser than date 2

Example


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

public class DateCompareExample {
	public static void main(String[] args) {
		try {

			String date1 = "20/02/2020";
			String date2 = "21/02/2020";
			DateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("DD/MM/yyyy");
			Date dateObj1 = format.parse(date1);
			Date dateObj2 = format.parse(date2);

			// If Both the date are same comparTo Method will return 0
			if (dateObj1.equals(dateObj2)) {
				System.out.println("Both the dates are Equal !!");
			} // If date1 greater than date 2 it will return 1
			else if (dateObj1.after(dateObj2)) {

				System.out.println("Date 1 is after than date 2");
			} // If date1 lesser than date 2 it will return -1
			else if (dateObj1.before(dateObj2)) {
				System.out.println("Date 1 is before than date 2");
			}

		} catch (Exception e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}

	}

}

Output

Date 1 is before than date 2

No Comments on convert String to date in java with example

In this tutorial, we will learn to convert String to date in java with example.While we working with java this is one of the most scenario

We can easily convert String to Data using SimpleDateFormat.java. But before that we should know the date patterns which mentioned below

Letter	Component	Presentation	Examples
y	Year	Year	1996; 96
M	Month in year	Month	July; Jul; 07
d	Day in month	Number	10
a	Am/pm marker	Text	PM
H	Hour in day (0-23)	Number	0
k	Hour in day (1-24)	Number	24
K	Hour in am/pm (0-11)	Number	0
h	Hour in am/pm (1-12)	Number	12
m	Minute in hour	Number	30
s	Second in minute	Number	55
S	Millisecond	Number	978

In this example we will convert 20/02/2020 to Date class

Syntax

DateFormat simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/YYYY");
 simpleDateFormat.parse(dateString);

Example


import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.ParseException;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;

public class SimpleDateFormatExample {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		try {
			String dateString = "20/02/2020";
			DateFormat simpleDateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/YYYY");
			// Below line will convert from string to date
			Date parse = simpleDateFormat.parse(dateString);
			// The output will be like Sun Dec 29 00:00:00 IST 2019
			System.out.println(" Output :: "+parse);
		} catch (ParseException e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}

	}

}

Output

 Output :: Sun Dec 29 00:00:00 IST 2019

1 Comment on add 3 days to the current date in java

In this post we will learn to add 3 days to the current date in java
While we working with dates we will come up with adding or subtracting from the current date

In Java there are lot of method for Date. So it is little bit difficult to remember all the things.

In this example we used Calendar.java and Date.java from java.util package
In below example we added 3 days

Syntax

object.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR, 1)

Example

import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.Date;

public class AddDaysToDate {

	public static void main(String[] args) {
		try {
			Calendar calender = Calendar.getInstance();
			Date beforeAdding = calender.getTime();
			System.out.println("Printing the value before adding date ::: " + beforeAdding);

			// Adding the 3 days below
			calender.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR, 3);
			Date afterAdding = calender.getTime();
			System.out.println("Printing the value after adding date  ::: " + afterAdding);

		} catch (Exception e) {
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
	}

}

Output

Printing the value before adding date ::: Thu Feb 13 17:00:21 IST 2020
Printing the value after adding date  ::: Sun Feb 16 17:00:21 IST 2020
