        /*
         * Returns:true if this date is after the specified date
         */
        System.out.println(date1.isAfter(date2));

        /*
         * Returns:true if this date is before the specified date
         */
        System.out.println(date1.isBefore(date2));

        /*
         * Returns:true if this date is equal to the specified date
