SimpleDateFormat parse does not work properly
<p>This is probably a very simple question but I dont see the problem or how to resolve it. Thank you for you help.</p>

<pre><code>String date = "04/11/1972"
SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("dd/MM/YYYY");
System.out.println(sdf.format(sdf.parse(date));
</code></pre>

<p>and it displays : 03/01/1972</p>

<p>Why? How to get back my date. it seems there is a problem with the parse which does not give the proper Date object</p>

<p>Thank you</p>
