CalendarDemo.java

import java.util.Calendar;

public class CalendarDemo
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        Calendar cal1 = Calendar.getInstance();
        System.out.println("Current date = " + cal1.getTime());
       
        Calendar cal2 = Calendar.getInstance();
        cal2.set(Calendar.YEAR, 2030);
        System.out.println("future date  = " + cal2.getTime());

        /*
         * Parameters:
         *
         * when - the Object to be compared
         *
         * Returns:
         *
         * true if the time of this Calendar is before the time
         * represented by when; false otherwise.
         */
        boolean isBefore = cal1.before(cal2);
        System.out.println("is cal1 before cal2 = " + isBefore);

        /*
         * Parameters:
         *
         * when - the Object to be compared
         *
         * Returns:
         *
         * true if the time of this Calendar is after the time
         * represented by when; false otherwise.
         */
        boolean isAfter = cal1.after(cal2);
        System.out.println("is cal1 After  cal2 = " + isAfter);

    }
}

Output

Current date = Tue Jul 03 09:39:19 IST 2018
future date  = Wed Jul 03 09:39:20 IST 2030
is cal1 before cal2 = true
is cal1 After  cal2 = false
