getDateAndTime bug?

[John Cahill]

Hi,

I'm running 1.38l on Win2000 with date and time correct
if I run

getDateAndTime(year, month, dayOfWeek, dayOfMonth, hour, minute, second,
msec);
print(month);

the output is a value of 2 not 3

I'm guessing this is a bug?

thanks,

Hi John,

this is not a bug:

 From the documentation of Java Date.getMonth:

public int getMonth()
Returns a number representing the month that contains or begins with  
the instant in time represented by this Date object.
The value returned is between 0 and 11, with the value 0 representing  
January.

dayOfWeek also starts with 0 (0 = Sunday, 1 = Monday,  etc),
all the others are as expected by non-Java Programmer.
