Day Of Year in GregorianCalendar

[tmryan]

Can anyone tell me why the following code always seems to be off one month in the DAY_OF_YEAR?

Thanks

import java.awt.*;
import java.util.*;

public class playdate
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
GregorianCalendar g = new GregorianCalendar(01,10,8);
int year = g.get(Calendar.YEAR);
int month = g.get(Calendar.MONTH);
int date = g.get(Calendar.DATE);
int day = g.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR);



System.out.println("Year = " + year);
System.out.println("Month = " + month);
System.out.println("Date = " + date);
System.out.println("DOY = " + day);
System.out.println("There are " + (365 - day) + " days left in the year."

}

In the GregorianCalendar class, the month is 0 based. January is 0, Feburary is 1, etc. That is where your difference is coming from.
