How to display months of the year with Java?

The Calendar is very useful utility class provided by Java for manipulating calender fields. It represents months of the year in integer format starting from 0 and ending with 11, which 0 represents 'January' and 11 represents 'December'. The 'getDisplayName' method of Calendar class returns the string representation of the calendar field value in the given style and locale. If no string representation is applicable, null is returned. 

The following Java program displays months of the year in two formats.

import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.Locale;

public class CalendarUtil {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        displayMonthsInLongFormat();
        displayMonthsInShortFormat();
    }
 
    private static void displayMonthsInLongFormat() {
  
        Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
  
        System.out.println("Months of the year in long format");
        System.out.println("---------------------------------");
  
        for (int i = 0; i < 12; i++) {
            cal.set(Calendar.MONTH, i);
   
             System.out.println(cal.getDisplayName(Calendar.MONTH, 
                           Calendar.LONG, Locale.ENGLISH));; 
        }
     }
 
     private static void displayMonthsInShortFormat() {
  
         Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
  
         System.out.println("Months of the year in short format");
         System.out.println("---------------------------------");
  
         for (int i = 0; i < 12; i++) {
             cal.set(Calendar.MONTH, i);
   
             System.out.println(cal.getDisplayName(Calendar.MONTH, 
                       Calendar.SHORT, Locale.ENGLISH));; 
         }
     } 
}

The above program will generate the following output.
