import java.util.*;
public class MyClass {
public static void main(String[] args) {
//creating a Calendar object with specified date
GregorianCalendar Cal = new GregorianCalendar(2015, 10, 30);
//printing the Calendar
System.out.println("The Calendar is: " + Cal.getTime());
//printing the default GregorianCalendar change date
System.out.println("\nDefault GregorianCalendar change date: ");
System.out.println(Cal.getGregorianChange());
//change the GregorianCalendar change date
GregorianCalendar cal1 = new GregorianCalendar(1995, 10, 30);
Date Dt = cal1.getTime();
Cal.setGregorianChange(Dt);
//printing the modified GregorianCalendar change date
System.out.println("\nModified GregorianCalendar change date: ");
