Cloning a SimpleTimeZone Instane of India Timezone Example

The following example shows the usage of Java SimpleTimeZone clone() method to create a clone of SimpleTimeZone object. We've created a SimpleTimeZone using India then printed it. Then we've created the clone of this object using clone() method and printed it as well.

 package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.SimpleTimeZone; public class SimpleTimeZoneDemo { public static void main( String args[] ) { // create simple time zone object SimpleTimeZone stobj = new SimpleTimeZone(720,"India"); System.out.println("Original obj: " + stobj); // clone the object Object cloneObj = stobj.clone(); System.out.println("Clone obj: " + cloneObj); } } 

Output

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result.

 Original obj: java.util.SimpleTimeZone[id=India,offset=720,dstSavings=3600000,useDaylight=false,startYear=0,startMode=0,startMonth=0,startDay=0,startDayOfWeek=0,startTime=0,startTimeMode=0,endMode=0,endMonth=0,endDay=0,endDayOfWeek=0,endTime=0,endTimeMode=0] Clone obj: java.util.SimpleTimeZone[id=India,offset=720,dstSavings=3600000,useDaylight=false,startYear=0,startMode=0,startMonth=0,startDay=0,startDayOfWeek=0,startTime=0,startTimeMode=0,endMode=0,endMonth=0,endDay=0,endDayOfWeek=0,endTime=0,endTimeMode=0] 

Cloning a SimpleTimeZone Instane of America Timezone Example

The following example shows the usage of Java SimpleTimeZone clone() method to create a clone of SimpleTimeZone object. We've created a SimpleTimeZone using America/Los_Angeles then printed it. Then we've created the clone of this object using clone() method and printed it as well.

 package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.SimpleTimeZone; public class SimpleTimeZoneDemo { public static void main( String args[] ) { // create simple time zone object SimpleTimeZone stobj = new SimpleTimeZone(720,"America/Los_Angeles"); System.out.println("Original obj: " + stobj); // clone the object Object cloneObj = stobj.clone(); System.out.println("Clone obj: " + cloneObj); } } 

Output

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result.

 Original obj: java.util.SimpleTimeZone[id=America/Los_Angeles,offset=720,dstSavings=3600000,useDaylight=false,startYear=0,startMode=0,startMonth=0,startDay=0,startDayOfWeek=0,startTime=0,startTimeMode=0,endMode=0,endMonth=0,endDay=0,endDayOfWeek=0,endTime=0,endTimeMode=0] Clone obj: java.util.SimpleTimeZone[id=America/Los_Angeles,offset=720,dstSavings=3600000,useDaylight=false,startYear=0,startMode=0,startMonth=0,startDay=0,startDayOfWeek=0,startTime=0,startTimeMode=0,endMode=0,endMonth=0,endDay=0,endDayOfWeek=0,endTime=0,endTimeMode=0] 

Cloning a SimpleTimeZone Instane of Europe Timezone Example

The following example shows the usage of Java SimpleTimeZone clone() method to create a clone of SimpleTimeZone object. We've created a SimpleTimeZone using Europe/Paris then printed it. Then we've created the clone of this object using clone() method and printed it as well.

 package com.tutorialspoint; import java.util.SimpleTimeZone; public class SimpleTimeZoneDemo { public static void main( String args[] ) { // create simple time zone object SimpleTimeZone stobj = new SimpleTimeZone(720,"Europe/Paris"); System.out.println("Original obj: " + stobj); // clone the object Object cloneObj = stobj.clone(); System.out.println("Clone obj: " + cloneObj); } } 

Output

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result.

 Original obj: java.util.SimpleTimeZone[id=Europe/Paris,offset=720,dstSavings=3600000,useDaylight=false,startYear=0,startMode=0,startMonth=0,startDay=0,startDayOfWeek=0,startTime=0,startTimeMode=0,endMode=0,endMonth=0,endDay=0,endDayOfWeek=0,endTime=0,endTimeMode=0] Clone obj: java.util.SimpleTimeZone[id=Europe/Paris,offset=720,dstSavings=3600000,useDaylight=false,startYear=0,startMode=0,startMonth=0,startDay=0,startDayOfWeek=0,startTime=0,startTimeMode=0,endMode=0,endMonth=0,endDay=0,endDayOfWeek=0,endTime=0,endTimeMode=0]
