/**
 * <code>SimpleDateFormat</code> is a concrete class for formatting and
 * parsing dates in a locale-sensitive manner. It allows for formatting
 * (date -> text), parsing (text -> date), and normalization.
 *
 * <p>
 * <code>SimpleDateFormat</code> allows you to start by choosing
 * any user-defined patterns for date-time formatting. However, you
 * are encouraged to create a date-time formatter with either
 * <code>getTimeInstance</code>, <code>getDateInstance</code>, or
 * <code>getDateTimeInstance</code> in <code>DateFormat</code>. Each
 * of these class methods can return a date/time formatter initialized
 * with a default format pattern. You may modify the format pattern
 * using the <code>applyPattern</code> methods as desired.
 * For more information on using these methods, see
 * {@link DateFormat}.
 *
 * <h4>Date and Time Patterns</h4>
 * <p>
 * Date and time formats are specified by <em>date and time pattern</em>
 * strings.
 * Within date and time pattern strings, unquoted letters from
 * <code>'A'</code> to <code>'Z'</code> and from <code>'a'</code> to
 * <code>'z'</code> are interpreted as pattern letters representing the
 * components of a date or time string.
 * Text can be quoted using single quotes (<code>'</code>) to avoid
 * interpretation.
 * <code>"''"</code> represents a single quote.
 * All other characters are not interpreted; they're simply copied into the
 * output string during formatting or matched against the input string
 * during parsing.
 * <p>
 * The following pattern letters are defined (all other characters from
 * <code>'A'</code> to <code>'Z'</code> and from <code>'a'</code> to
 * <code>'z'</code> are reserved):
 * <blockquote>

 * Pattern letters are usually repeated, as their number determines the
 * exact presentation:
 * <ul>
 * <li><strong><a name="text">Text:</a></strong>
 *     For formatting, if the number of pattern letters is 4 or more,
 *     the full form is used; otherwise a short or abbreviated form
 *     is used if available.
 *     For parsing, both forms are accepted, independent of the number
 *     of pattern letters.<br><br></li>
 * <li><strong><a name="number">Number:</a></strong>
 *     For formatting, the number of pattern letters is the minimum
 *     number of digits, and shorter numbers are zero-padded to this amount.
 *     For parsing, the number of pattern letters is ignored unless
 *     it's needed to separate two adjacent fields.<br><br></li>
 * <li><strong><a name="year">Year:</a></strong>
 *     If the formatter's {@link #getCalendar() Calendar} is the Gregorian
 *     calendar, the following rules are applied.<br>
 *     <ul>
 *     <li>For formatting, if the number of pattern letters is 2, the year
 *         is truncated to 2 digits; otherwise it is interpreted as a
 *         <a href="#number">number</a>.
 *     <li>For parsing, if the number of pattern letters is more than 2,
 *         the year is interpreted literally, regardless of the number of
 *         digits. So using the pattern "MM/dd/yyyy", "01/11/12" parses to
 *         Jan 11, 12 A.D.
 *     <li>For parsing with the abbreviated year pattern ("y" or "yy"),
 *         <code>SimpleDateFormat</code> must interpret the abbreviated year
 *         relative to some century.  It does this by adjusting dates to be
 *         within 80 years before and 20 years after the time the <code>SimpleDateFormat</code>
 *         instance is created. For example, using a pattern of "MM/dd/yy" and a
 *         <code>SimpleDateFormat</code> instance created on Jan 1, 1997,  the string
 *         "01/11/12" would be interpreted as Jan 11, 2012 while the string "05/04/64"
 *         would be interpreted as May 4, 1964.
 *         During parsing, only strings consisting of exactly two digits, as defined by
 *         {@link Character#isDigit(char)}, will be parsed into the default century.
 *         Any other numeric string, such as a one digit string, a three or more digit
 *         string, or a two digit string that isn't all digits (for example, "-1"), is
 *         interpreted literally.  So "01/02/3" or "01/02/003" are parsed, using the
 *         same pattern, as Jan 2, 3 AD.  Likewise, "01/02/-3" is parsed as Jan 2, 4 BC.
 *     </ul>
 *     Otherwise, calendar system specific forms are applied.
 *     For both formatting and parsing, if the number of pattern
 *     letters is 4 or more, a calendar specific {@linkplain
 *     Calendar#LONG long form} is used. Otherwise, a calendar
 *     specific {@linkplain Calendar#SHORT short or abbreviated form}
 *     is used.<br>
 *     <br>
 *     If week year {@code 'Y'} is specified and the {@linkplain
 *     #getCalendar() calendar} doesn't support any <a
 *     href="../util/GregorianCalendar.html#week_year"> week
 *     years</a>, the calendar year ({@code 'y'}) is used instead. The
 *     support of week years can be tested with a call to {@link
 *     DateFormat#getCalendar() getCalendar()}.{@link
 *     java.util.Calendar#isWeekDateSupported()
 *     isWeekDateSupported()}.<br><br></li>
 * <li><strong><a name="month">Month:</a></strong>
 *     If the number of pattern letters is 3 or more, the month is
 *     interpreted as <a href="#text">text</a>; otherwise,
 *     it is interpreted as a <a href="#number">number</a>.<br><br></li>
 * <li><strong><a name="timezone">General time zone:</a></strong>
 *     Time zones are interpreted as <a href="#text">text</a> if they have
 *     names. For time zones representing a GMT offset value, the
 *     following syntax is used:
 *     <pre>
 *     <a name="GMTOffsetTimeZone"><i>GMTOffsetTimeZone:</i></a>
 *             <code>GMT</code> <i>Sign</i> <i>Hours</i> <code>:</code> <i>Minutes</i>
 *     <i>Sign:</i> one of
 *             <code>+ -</code>
 *     <i>Hours:</i>
 *             <i>Digit</i>
 *             <i>Digit</i> <i>Digit</i>
 *     <i>Minutes:</i>
 *             <i>Digit</i> <i>Digit</i>
 *     <i>Digit:</i> one of
 *             <code>0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9</code></pre>
 *     <i>Hours</i> must be between 0 and 23, and <i>Minutes</i> must be between
 *     00 and 59. The format is locale independent and digits must be taken
 *     from the Basic Latin block of the Unicode standard.
 *     <p>For parsing, <a href="#rfc822timezone">RFC 822 time zones</a> are also
 *     accepted.<br><br></li>
 * <li><strong><a name="rfc822timezone">RFC 822 time zone:</a></strong>
 *     For formatting, the RFC 822 4-digit time zone format is used:
 *
 *     <pre>
 *     <i>RFC822TimeZone:</i>
 *             <i>Sign</i> <i>TwoDigitHours</i> <i>Minutes</i>
 *     <i>TwoDigitHours:</i>
 *             <i>Digit Digit</i></pre>
 *     <i>TwoDigitHours</i> must be between 00 and 23. Other definitions
 *     are as for <a href="#timezone">general time zones</a>.
 *
 *     <p>For parsing, <a href="#timezone">general time zones</a> are also
 *     accepted.
 * <li><strong><a name="iso8601timezone">ISO 8601 Time zone:</a></strong>
 *     The number of pattern letters designates the format for both formatting
 *     and parsing as follows:
 *     <pre>
 *     <i>ISO8601TimeZone:</i>
 *             <i>OneLetterISO8601TimeZone</i>
 *             <i>TwoLetterISO8601TimeZone</i>
 *             <i>ThreeLetterISO8601TimeZone</i>
 *     <i>OneLetterISO8601TimeZone:</i>
 *             <i>Sign</i> <i>TwoDigitHours</i>
 *             {@code Z}
 *     <i>TwoLetterISO8601TimeZone:</i>
 *             <i>Sign</i> <i>TwoDigitHours</i> <i>Minutes</i>
 *             {@code Z}
 *     <i>ThreeLetterISO8601TimeZone:</i>
 *             <i>Sign</i> <i>TwoDigitHours</i> {@code :} <i>Minutes</i>
 *             {@code Z}</pre>
 *     Other definitions are as for <a href="#timezone">general time zones</a> or
 *     <a href="#rfc822timezone">RFC 822 time zones</a>.
 *
 *     <p>For formatting, if the offset value from GMT is 0, {@code "Z"} is
 *     produced. If the number of pattern letters is 1, any fraction of an hour
 *     is ignored. For example, if the pattern is {@code "X"} and the time zone is
 *     {@code "GMT+05:30"}, {@code "+05"} is produced.
 *
 *     <p>For parsing, {@code "Z"} is parsed as the UTC time zone designator.
 *     <a href="#timezone">General time zones</a> are <em>not</em> accepted.
 *
 *     <p>If the number of pattern letters is 4 or more, {@link
 *     IllegalArgumentException} is thrown when constructing a {@code
 *     SimpleDateFormat} or {@linkplain #applyPattern(String) applying a
 *     pattern}.
 * </ul>
 * <code>SimpleDateFormat</code> also supports <em>localized date and time
 * pattern</em> strings. In these strings, the pattern letters described above
 * may be replaced with other, locale dependent, pattern letters.
 * <code>SimpleDateFormat</code> does not deal with the localization of text
 * other than the pattern letters; that's up to the client of the class.
 * <p>

     * The method attempts to parse text starting at the index given by
     * <code>pos</code>.
     * If parsing succeeds, then the index of <code>pos</code> is updated
     * to the index after the last character used (parsing does not necessarily
     * use all characters up to the end of the string), and the parsed
     * date is returned. The updated <code>pos</code> can be used to
     * indicate the starting point for the next call to this method.
     * If an error occurs, then the index of <code>pos</code> is not
     * changed, the error index of <code>pos</code> is set to the index of
     * the character where the error occurred, and null is returned.
     *
     * <p>This parsing operation uses the {@link DateFormat#calendar
     * calendar} to produce a {@code Date}. All of the {@code
     * calendar}'s date-time fields are {@linkplain Calendar#clear()
     * cleared} before parsing, and the {@code calendar}'s default
     * values of the date-time fields are used for any missing
     * date-time information. For example, the year value of the
     * parsed {@code Date} is 1970 with {@link GregorianCalendar} if
     * no year value is given from the parsing operation.  The {@code
     * TimeZone} value may be overwritten, depending on the given
     * pattern and the time zone value in {@code text}. Any {@code
     * TimeZone} value that has previously been set by a call to
     * {@link #setTimeZone(java.util.TimeZone) setTimeZone} may need
     * to be restored for further operations.
     *
     * @param text  A <code>String</code>, part of which should be parsed.
     * @param pos   A <code>ParsePosition</code> object with index and error
     *              index information as described above.
     * @return A <code>Date</code> parsed from the string. In case of
     *         error, returns null.
     * @exception NullPointerException if <code>text</code> or <code>pos</code> is null.
