convert GregorianCalender to string

[JEEtoP]

hoping someone can help, got a bit of homework I'm stuck on. It's as follows...

There is a standard class called DateFormat which (among other things) lets you convert dates to various different output formats. It has a subclass SimpleDateFormat which you may also use).

Use it to write a method called convert which returns a String in the form dd/mm/yy: when passed a GregorianCalendar with a specific date
public String convert (Calendar gc) {
...
}

For example, when myGC is a GregorianCalendar variable representing the 25th of December 2006,
String s = convert(myGC);
should set s to the string "12/25/06".

Enter your answer (just your convert method) below:

i have no idea when it comes to DateFormat/SimpleDateFormat...

The experts on this site are more than happy to help you with your problems but they cannot do your assignment/program for you. Attempt the assignment/program yourself first and post questions regarding any difficulties you have or about a particular function of the code that you don't know how to achieve.

Please read the Posting Guidelines and particularly the Coursework Posting Guidlines.

Then when you are ready post a new question in this thread.

While you are at it you can go the java API and read the entry on SimpleDateFormat if you don't know how to use it.
