对我来说，没有人比mindpro.com更能解释这一点:

Gotchas java.util.GregorianCalendar has far fewer bugs and gotchas than the old java.util.Date class but it is still no picnic. Had there been programmers when Daylight Saving Time was first proposed, they would have vetoed it as insane and intractable. With daylight saving, there is a fundamental ambiguity. In the fall when you set your clocks back one hour at 2 AM there are two different instants in time both called 1:30 AM local time. You can tell them apart only if you record whether you intended daylight saving or standard time with the reading. Unfortunately, there is no way to tell GregorianCalendar which you intended. You must resort to telling it the local time with the dummy UTC TimeZone to avoid the ambiguity. Programmers usually close their eyes to this problem and just hope nobody does anything during this hour. Millennium bug. The bugs are still not out of the Calendar classes. Even in JDK (Java Development Kit) 1.3 there is a 2001 bug. Consider the following code: GregorianCalendar gc = new GregorianCalendar(); gc.setLenient( false ); /* Bug only manifests if lenient set false */ gc.set( 2001, 1, 1, 1, 0, 0 ); int year = gc.get ( Calendar.YEAR ); /* throws exception */ The bug disappears at 7AM on 2001/01/01 for MST. GregorianCalendar is controlled by a giant of pile of untyped int magic constants. This technique totally destroys any hope of compile-time error checking. For example to get the month you use GregorianCalendar. get(Calendar.MONTH)); GregorianCalendar has the raw GregorianCalendar.get(Calendar.ZONE_OFFSET) and the daylight savings GregorianCalendar. get( Calendar. DST_OFFSET), but no way to get the actual time zone offset being used. You must get these two separately and add them together. GregorianCalendar.set( year, month, day, hour, minute) does not set the seconds to 0. DateFormat and GregorianCalendar do not mesh properly. You must specify the Calendar twice, once indirectly as a Date. If the user has not configured his time zone correctly it will default quietly to either PST or GMT. In GregorianCalendar, Months are numbered starting at January=0, rather than 1 as everyone else on the planet does. Yet days start at 1 as do days of the week with Sunday=1, Monday=2,… Saturday=7. Yet DateFormat. parse behaves in the traditional way with January=1.

它本身并没有定义为0，而是定义为Calendar.January。这是使用整数作为常量而不是枚举的问题。日历。1月== 0。

因为所有东西都是从0开始的。这是Java编程的一个基本事实。如果有一件事偏离了这一点，那么就会导致一系列的混乱。让我们不要争论它们的构成和代码。

除了DannySmurf关于懒惰的回答之外，我还要补充一句，这是为了鼓励您使用常量，例如Calendar.JANUARY。

java.time.Month

Java为您提供了另一种使用基于1的索引的方法。使用java.time.Month enum。为12个月中的每个月预定义一个对象。他们在1月到12月之间分别有1-12号;调用getValue获取该号码。

利用Month。七月(给你7分) 而不是日历。七月(给你6分)。

(import java.time.*;)

There has been a lot of answers to this, but I will give my view on the subject anyway. The reason behind this odd behavior, as stated previously, comes from the POSIX C time.h where the months were stored in an int with the range 0-11. To explain why, look at it like this; years and days are considered numbers in spoken language, but months have their own names. So because January is the first month it will be stored as offset 0, the first array element. monthname[JANUARY] would be "January". The first month in the year is the first month array element.

另一方面，由于日期数字没有名称，将它们存储在0-30的int型中会令人困惑，添加大量的day+1指令用于输出，当然，也容易出现很多错误。

也就是说，这种不一致是令人困惑的，特别是在javascript(它也继承了这个“特性”)中，这种脚本语言应该从语言中抽象出来。

因为月份有名称，而月份中的日期没有。
