In this article, we'll explore how to determine the start and end dates of a week using Java. Specifically, we'll write a program that takes a given date and calculates the Monday and Sunday of that week.  Problem Statement Write a Java program to find the beginning (Monday) and end (Sunday) dates of the week for a given date. Input Date = 2019-04-16 Output Start of the Week = 2019-04-15End of the Week = 2019-04-21 Steps to calculate week's start and end dates Following are the steps to get the beginning and end date of the week − ...

Let us first set two dates:LocalDate date1 = LocalDate.of(2019, 4, 16); LocalDate date2 = date1.with(Month.MAY).withDayOfMonth(04);Now, count the dates between both the above dates using between():int numDays = Period.between(date1, date2).getDays();Exampleimport java.time.LocalDate; import java.time.Month; import java.time.Period; public class Demo {    public static void main(String[] argv) {       LocalDate date1 = LocalDate.of(2019, 4, 16);       LocalDate date2 = date1.with(Month.MAY).withDayOfMonth(04);       int numDays = Period.between(date1, date2).getDays();       System.out.println("Number of days between two dates = "+numDays);    } }OutputNumber of days between two dates = 18

At first, display the current date:LocalDate date = LocalDate.now();Now, get the day of week from the above Date (current date):DayOfWeek day = DayOfWeek.of(date.get(ChronoField.DAY_OF_WEEK));On the basis of the above result, use SWITCH to check for the current day. If the day is SATURDAY/SUNDAY, then it’s Weekend.Exampleimport java.time.DayOfWeek; import java.time.temporal.ChronoField; import java.time.LocalDate; public class Demo {    public static void main(String[] argv) {       LocalDate date = LocalDate.now();       DayOfWeek day = DayOfWeek.of(date.get(ChronoField.DAY_OF_WEEK));       switch (day) {          case SATURDAY:             System.out.println("Weekend - Saturday");         ...

Set the two Java dates:LocalDate date1 = LocalDate.of(2019, 3, 25); LocalDate date2 = LocalDate.of(2019, 4, 29);Now, get the difference between two dates with Period class between() method:Period p = Period.between(date1, date2);Now, get the years, month and days:p.getYears() p.getMonths() p.getDays()Exampleimport java.time.LocalDate; import java.time.Period; public class Demo {    public static void main(String[] args) {       LocalDate date1 = LocalDate.of(2019, 3, 25);       LocalDate date2 = LocalDate.of(2019, 4, 29);       System.out.println("Date 1 = "+date1);       System.out.println("Date 2 = "+date2);       Period p = Period.between(date1, date2);       System.out.println("Period = "+p);   ...

In this program, we will learn to add a specific period to a date using Java’s LocalDate class. By using Java's Period class, we can specify an amount of time (such as months and days) and then add this period to a LocalDate. The program demonstrates how to set a period and apply it to a given date to get a new, updated date. Steps to add Period to LocalDate  Following are the steps to add Period to LocalDate − Import LocalDate and Period from java.time package to work with dates and periods. ... Read More

Let us first set an Instant:Instant now = Instant.ofEpochMilli(184142540078l);Let us now minus seconds from Instant:Instant resSeconds = now.minusSeconds(50);Let us now minus nanoseconds from Instant:Instant resNanoSeconds = now.minusNanos(10000);Exampleimport java.time.Instant; public class Demo {    public static void main(String[] args) {       Instant now = Instant.ofEpochMilli(184142540078l);       System.out.println(now);       Instant resSeconds = now.minusSeconds(50);       System.out.println("After subtracting seconds = "+resSeconds);       Instant resNanoSeconds = now.minusNanos(10000);       System.out.println("After subtracting nanoseconds = "+resNanoSeconds);    } }Output1975-11-02T06:42:20.078Z After subtracting seconds = 1975-11-02T06:41:30.078Z After subtracting nanoseconds = 1975-11-02T06:42:20.077990Z

The following are the two Instant timestamps:Instant one = Instant.ofEpochSecond(1355836728); Instant two = Instant.ofEpochSecond(1355866935);Get the Duration between both the Instant:Duration res = Duration.between(one, two);Now, get the seconds between the two timestamps:long seconds = res.getSeconds();Now, get the minutes between the two timestamps:long minutes = res.abs().toMinutes();Exampleimport java.time.Duration; import java.time.Instant; public class Demo {    public static void main(String[] args) {       Instant one = Instant.ofEpochSecond(1355836728);       Instant two = Instant.ofEpochSecond(1355866935);       Duration res = Duration.between(one, two);       System.out.println(res);       long seconds = res.getSeconds();       System.out.println("Seconds between Durations = "+seconds);   ...

Let us first set two Instants with ofEpochSeconds() method using seconds from the epoch of 1970-01- 01T00:00:00Z.Now get the duration between the above two Instant:Duration res = Duration.between(one, two);Exampleimport java.time.Duration; import java.time.Instant; public class Demo {    public static void main(String[] args) {       Instant one = Instant.ofEpochSecond(1845836728);       Instant two = Instant.ofEpochSecond(1845866935);       Duration res = Duration.between(one, two);       System.out.println(res);    } }OutputPT8H23M27S

Create an Instant and get an Instant using milliseconds passed as parameter from the epoch of 1970-01- 01T00:00:00Z. This is done using ofEpochMilli():Instant instant = Instant.ofEpochMilli(342627282920l);Now, get the Epoch milliseconds from Instant:instant. toEpochMilli();Exampleimport java.time.Instant; public class Demo {    public static void main(String[] args) {       Instant instant = Instant.ofEpochMilli(1262347200000l);       long res = instant.toEpochMilli();       System.out.println(res);    } }Output1262347200000
