Using the LocalDate classThe java.time.LocalDate class represents the local date i.e. the date without time zone, you can use this object instead of Date. This class provides various methods such as isBefore(), isAfter() and, isEqual() to compare two dates −ExampleLive Demoimport java.time.LocalDate; public class Sample {    public static void main(String args[]) {         LocalDate date1 = LocalDate.of(2007, 11, 25);       LocalDate date2 = LocalDate.of(1999, 9, 12);             Boolean bool1 = date1.isAfter(date2);         Boolean bool2 = date1.isBefore(date2);       Boolean bool3 = date1.isEqual(date2);       if(bool1){ ...

To change the name of a data frame, we can set the original name to the new name. Now both of the names can be used. Most of the times the purpose behind changing the name of the data frame is that, the original name does not seem to be a valid name based on the characteristics of the data. For example, if we have normally distributed columns in the data frame then we can name it as normal_distribution. This will help everyone to understand the data belongs to normal distribution.Example1 Live Demoset.seed(24) x
