CloseDate Using Apex

Question

How Do i need to Write APex Code for the CloseDate on Opportunity object?

 Opportunity Opp= new Opportunity();
    Opp.Name='Beginner';
    Opp.CloseDate= ?????;
    Opp.StageName='Proposal';
    insert Opp;

can someone help me out with this ?

Answer 1

You could use

Opp.CloseDate= System.today();

or

Opp.CloseDate = Date.newInstance(2017, 12, 31);

If you have a string, then you should convert by either of the following ways:

Opp.CloseDate = Date.parse('10/14/2017');

Opp.CloseDate = Date.valueOf('2017-12-15');

For more information, refer Date Class

Answer 2

You can also use TODAY() function as well. for example, opp.closeDate=TODAY()+1; will give you tomorrow's date or ,opp.closeDate=TODAY() will give you today's date
