## Date Classes in Standard Library

- Many programs manipulate dates such as
  "Saturday, February 3, 2001"
- `Date` class:

      Date now = new Date();
         // constructs current date/time
      System.out.println(now.toString());
         // prints date such as
         // Sat Feb 03 16:34:10 PST 2001

- `Date` class encapsulates point in time
