I was working in some project, in which it was required to test the particular time if between 08 PM to 12 AM time slot. I converted the dates to long
and check the difference. For all other time slots I was getting positive output. But when I tested for 08 PM to 12 AM I got no output. below is my code:
package com.google.pulldata.utils;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
public class Test2 {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
try {
process1();
process2();
}catch(Exception ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
private static void process1() throws Exception {
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy_MM_dd_hh_a");
String dateRange1="2018_11_18_04_PM";
String dateRange2="2018_11_18_08_PM";
long dtRange1=sdf.parse(dateRange1).getTime();
long dtRange2=sdf.parse(dateRange2).getTime();
String dateTest = "2018_11_18_06_PM";
long dtTest=sdf.parse(dateTest).getTime();
if(dtTest>=dtRange1 && dtTest<=dtRange2) {
System.out.println("yes time is between 04 PM to 08 PM slot");
}
}
private static void process2() throws Exception {
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy_MM_dd_hh_a");
String dateRange1="2018_11_18_08_PM";
String dateRange2="2018_11_18_12_AM";
long dtRange1=sdf.parse(dateRange1).getTime();
long dtRange2=sdf.parse(dateRange2).getTime();
String dateTest = "2018_11_18_10_PM";
long dtTest=sdf.parse(dateTest).getTime();
if(dtTest>=dtRange1 && dtTest<=dtRange2) {
System.out.println("yes time is between 08 PM to 12 AM slot");
}
}
}
output:
yes time is between 04 PM to 08 PM slot
as you can see, I am getting output for process1()
method but not for 'proccess2()`. can anyone help me out why is it happening?
Because 2018_11_18_10_PM comes after 2018_11_18_12_AM.
