    copy

### compareTo

    public int compareTo(Object anotherObject)

  Compares this Year another object. If the other object is a Year, this method behaves like compareTo(Year). Otherwise, it throws a ClassCastException.

  Specified by:
    `compareTo` in interface `Comparable`
  Overrides:
    `compareTo` in class `Century`
  Returns:

  Throws:
    `ClassCastException` - thrown if the argument is not an instance of Year.

### compareTo

    public int compareTo(Year anotherYear)

  Compares this Year to another Year object (represented in the same time zone) in their canonical representation.

  Parameters:
    `anotherYear` - another Year object to be compared.
  Returns:
    the value 0 if the argument Year is equal to this Year; a value less than 0 if this Year is before the Year argument; and a value greater than 0 if this Year is after the Year argument.
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - thrown when the argument is represented in a different time zone from the current year.

### createYear

    public static Year createYear()

  Returns a Year instance for the current year.

  Returns:
    instance of Year

### createYear

    public static Year createYear(String year)
                           throws ParseException

  Given a string of the form CCYY, returns a Year instance.

  The argument may optionally include a timezone.

### setYear

    public void setYear(int century,
                        int year)

  Sets the year (CCYY) field

  Parameters:
    `century` - the century (CC)
    `year` - the year (YY)
  Throws:
    `IllegalArgumentException` - thrown when the century and year arguments are illegal

### setYear

    public void setYear(long year)

  Sets the year (CCYY) field

### toString

    public String toString()

  Returns a XML schema compliant year string.

  Overrides:
    `toString` in class `Century`
  Returns:
    string value
