DateDemo1.java

import java.util.Date;

public class DateDemo1
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        Date date = new Date();

        /*
         * Returns:
         *
         * the number of milliseconds since January 1, 1970, 00:00:00
         * GMT represented by this date.
         */
        long milliSec = date.getTime();
        System.out.println(milliSec);

    }

}

Output

DateDemo2.java

import java.util.Date;

public class DateDemo2
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        Date date = new Date();
        System.out.println("Date before setting =  " + date);

        /*
         * Sets this Date object to represent a point in time that is
         * time milliseconds after January 1, 1970 00:00:00 GMT.
         *
         * Parameters:
         *
         * time - the number of milliseconds.
         */
        date.setTime(200000);

        System.out.println("Date after setting  =  " + date);

    }

}

Output

Date before setting =  Sun May 13 11:29:50 IST 2018
Date after setting  =  Thu Jan 01 05:33:20 IST 1970
