SimpledateFormat class issue.

[Tontang Bei]

package util;
import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;
 
public class Testit{
 
  public static void main(String[] args){
  new Testit().test();
  }
  
  public void test(){
    String input="2007-12-05";
    Date d1=parseIt(input);
    Calendar c=Calendar.getInstance();
    c.setTime(d1);
    
    System.out.println("yyyy="+c.get(c.YEAR));  o/p yyyy=2007   OK
    System.out.println("mm="+c.get(c.MONTH));   o/p mm=0   <--NOT OK
    System.out.println("dd="+c.get(c.DATE));    o/p dd=5        OK
}
 
 public Date parseIt(String dateTobeParsed){
    Date date=null;
   try{
DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-mm-dd");
date = (Date)formatter.parse(dateTobeParsed);
      }catch(ParseException ps){System.out.println(ps);}
return date;
    }
 

 
}

The output I get is:
yyyy=2007
mm=0
dd=5

the month is shown as 0. The month should be shown as 12. Please help

DateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");

For month the representation is MM and m represents minute in hour. For more details refer:
