Note:SimpleDateFormat is a concrete class for formatting and parsing dates in a locale-sensitive
manner. It allows for formatting (date -> text), parsing (text -> date), and normalization.
SimpleDateFormat allows you to start by choosing any user-defined patterns for date-time
formatting. However, you are encouraged to create a date-time formatter with
either getTimeInstance, getDateInstance, orgetDateTimeInstance in DateFormat. Each of these
class methods can return a date/time formatter initialized with a default format pattern. You may
modify the format pattern using the applyPattern methods as desired.
