            int month,
            int year)
Creates a new hour.

Method Details

compareTo

public int compareTo(Object o1)
Returns an integer indicating the order of this Hour object relative to the specified object: negative == before, zero == same, positive == after.
Parameters:
o1 - the object to compare.
Returns:
negative == before, zero == same, positive == after.

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)
Tests the equality of this object against an arbitrary Object.

This method will return true ONLY if the object is an Hour object representing the same hour as this instance.

public int getDayOfMonth()
Returns the day-of-the-month in which this hour falls.
Returns:
The day-of-the-month.

getFirstMillisecond

public long getFirstMillisecond()
