year 和 weak year 的区别-程序员宅基地

java 中使用 SimpleDateFormat 时，会遇到 year 和 week year 这两个概念，特此记录。

google 答案:

A week year is in sync with a WEEK_OF_YEAR cycle. All weeks between the first and last weeks (inclusive) have the same week year value. Therefore, the first and last days of a week year may have different calendar yearvalues.

Stackoverflow的一个具体问题及其解释：

For example, January 1, 1998 is a Thursday. If getFirstDayOfWeek() is MONDAY and getMinimalDaysInFirstWeek() is 4 (ISO 8601 standard compatible setting), then week 1 of 1998 starts on December 29, 1997, and ends on January 4, 1998. The week year is 1998 for the last three days of calendar year 1997. If, however, getFirstDayOfWeek() is SUNDAY, then week 1 of 1998 starts on January 4, 1998, and ends on January 10, 1998; the first three days of 1998 then are part of week 53 of 1997 and their week year is 1997.

查看源码

​java8（jdk1.8.0_171） 中，SimpleDateFormat.java 文件中的 subFormat 函数处理两种 year 的代码：

case PATTERN_WEEK_YEAR: // 'Y'
case PATTERN_YEAR:      // 'y'
    if (calendar instanceof GregorianCalendar) {
        if (count != 2) {
            zeroPaddingNumber(value, count, maxIntCount, buffer);
        } else {
            zeroPaddingNumber(value, 2, 2, buffer);
        } // clip 1996 to 96
    } else {
        if (current == null) {
            zeroPaddingNumber(value, style == Calendar.LONG ? 1 : count,
                              maxIntCount, buffer);
        }
    }
    break;

结论

以上源码说明，year 和 week year 的处理方式一致。至少在java8（jdk1.8.0_171）是这样的。
