Why does java takes my month as 1 month behind

Question

I'm trying to code a clock in java and for april it says 3 instead of 4 why is that?

here is my code

Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
c.get(Calendar.MONTH)

Sarah Jane: as a minimum, you should read the relevant javadocs before asking questions like this. — Stephen C, Apr 09 '17 at 12:07

That is because the month January in java is "0"

Refer to this question if you wanna know what it is "0"
