    // The java.time was launched in Java 8 and earlier it was a part of java.util package

    /* Date : It is stored in form of a Long Number
       Calculations = Counting milliseconds since " 1 Jan 1970 " for precision
       Ex. A music if counted in milliseconds give accurate results of how much time it was being played.

       Year: Java accounts year "1900" as the first year
       All the calculations are being done since then.
       Ex. If we are in 1947, java will return '47 years passed'     */

       System.currentTimeMillis() - returns the milliseconds elapsed since start i.e. 1 Jan 1970  */
