Getting Todays Date - THIS IS EATING AWAY AT ME!!

This is such a simple idea and it is killing me that I can't figure it out.  I have APEX in place that automatically creates a campaign.  What I am trying to do is get todays date and extract the year into the name of a campaign.  In othewords, I want the campaign name to read "YYYY - Campaign Name".

 

I would love to see some documentation on this, but I can't find anything regarding APEX methods.  Can someone please help me??

Integer currentYear = datetime.now().year();

system.debug( 'Current Year------>'+currentYear );

myCampaign = currentYear+campaignName;

 

Thanks.
