Title: Date functions...
If your objective is to display the dates, then pass the date objects as parameters to a SimpleDateFormat objects eg
import java.text.*;
Assuming your date object is labelled unformatedDate,
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd mmm yyyy");
String formatedDate = sdf.format(unformatedDate);
System.out.println(formatedDate);

Subject: Date functions...

        I am working with a preexisting method that calculates interest on the number of days that have passed since the last accrual date. This method is necessary because there are specific days of the week that interest should not accrue. This method has two parameters, one being the last accrual date and the other is today's date.

        There is a do..while loop that is setup to loop through everyday since the last accrual date and calculate the interest. Each time it iterates through the loop, one day is added to the last accrual date until that date is equal to or greater than today's date. The problem I am having is formatting the date to zero out the hrs, minutes, and seconds. I should be looking at whole days, because there will always be differences in the hrs and minutes. How do I format a date to zero out the hours, minutes, and seconds?

Thanks,

Richie
