I'm trying to get up to speed with Java, so I've been creating some practice programs. Right now I'm trying to use an "if" statement to perform a certain action if it is a certain time of day (or later). For example, if the time is 12 noon or later, feed the birds. I can't seem to find a good way of doing this, though. Are there date and time manipulators in Java similar to those in "time.h" (C language)? Thanks!

Yes, use the Calendar class. With it you can instantiate an object for the current date/time and use the before and/or after methods to compare it to another Calendar object.
