Calendar class

Posted by Monte on February 26, 2001 at 2:05 PM

I'm trying to create a
class that behaves differently
at different times. The calendar
class seems to be the one to use
to deal with date and time issues.
However, I'm having a hard time
understanding the official API
for Calendar class.
Specifically, I need to be
able to compare two Calendar objects
and find out what the difference in
hours,days, and weeks is between the
two.
Also, I need to be able to tell if
two dates are in the same week/month/year

Can someone explain this to me, or tell
me where I can find more information
on the Calendar class?
--thanks
