LocalDate get() method in Java

The value of the specified field from the LocalDate can be obtained using the get() method in the LocalDate class in Java. This method requires a single parameter i.e. ChronoField that is required and it returns the value of the specified field from the LocalDate.

A program that demonstrates this is given as follows −

Example

 Live Demo

import java.time.*;
import java.time.temporal.ChronoField;
public class Main {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      LocalDate ld = LocalDate.parse("2019-02-16");
      System.out.println("The LocalDate is: " + ld);
      System.out.println("The DAY_OF_MONTH is: " + ld.get(ChronoField.DAY_OF_MONTH));
   }
}

Output

The LocalDate is: 2019-02-16
The DAY_OF_MONTH is: 16

Now let us understand the above program.

First the LocalDate object is displayed. Then the value of the ChronoField DAY_OF_MONTH from the LocalDate object is obtained using the get() method and printed. A code snippet that demonstrates this is as follows −

LocalDate ld = LocalDate.parse("2019-02-16");
System.out.println("The LocalDate is: " + ld);
System.out.println("The DAY_OF_MONTH is: " + ld.get(ChronoField.DAY_OF_MONTH));
