package org.kodejava.example.text;

import java.text.DateFormatSymbols;
import java.util.Locale;

public class MonthNames {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String[] months = new DateFormatSymbols().getMonths();
        for (int i = 0; i < months.length; i++) {
            String month = months[i];
            System.out.println("month = " + month);
        }

        String[] shortMonths = new DateFormatSymbols().getShortMonths();
        for (int i = 0; i < shortMonths.length; i++) {
            String shortMonth = shortMonths[i];
            System.out.println("shortMonth = " + shortMonth);
        }

        String[] germanyMonths = new DateFormatSymbols(Locale.GERMANY).getMonths();
        for (int i = 0; i < germanyMonths.length; i++) {
            String germanyMonth = germanyMonths[i];
            System.out.println("germanyMonth = " + germanyMonth);
        }

        String[] germanyShortMonths = new DateFormatSymbols(Locale.GERMANY).getShortMonths();
        for (int i = 0; i < germanyShortMonths.length; i++) {
            String germanyShortMonth = germanyShortMonths[i];
            System.out.println("germanyShortMonth = " + germanyShortMonth);
        }
    }
}
