Problem about Date

[Sameer]

Please watch the following code:
(Though the constructor Date(int year, int month, int date) was
deprecated)
Note that I am creating a date object for the date 1 July 2006.

import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;

//The date is represented as a Date object or
//as the milliseconds since January 1, 1970,00:00:00 GMT.
public class DateDemo1 {
public static void main(String args[]) throws ParseException {
Date date= new Date(2006,7,1);
System.out.println("String representation of current
date:"+date.toString());
}
}

The output is
String representation of current date:Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 IST 3906

Am I wrong? What may be the problem?

Yes. Note the instructions in the documentation for the
"three ints" form of the constructor.

...What may be the problem?

Note also, that constructor is deprecated.

Specifically:

year - the year minus 1900.

(2006+1900=3906)
