LocalDate getDayOfYear() method in Java

The day of the year for a particular LocalDate can be obtained using the getDayOfYear() method in the LocalDate class in Java. This method requires no parameters and it returns the day of the year which can be in the range of 1 to 365 and also 366 for leap years.

A program that demonstrates this is given as follows

Example

 Live Demo

import java.time.*;
public class Demo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      LocalDate ld = LocalDate.parse("2019-02-14");
      System.out.println("The LocalDate is: " + ld);
      System.out.println("The day of the year is: " + ld.getDayOfYear());
   }
}

Output

The LocalDate is: 2019-02-14
The day of the year is: 45

Now let us understand the above program.

First the LocalDate is displayed. Then the day of the year for the LocalDate is displayed using the getDayOfYear() method. A code snippet that demonstrates this is as follows:

LocalDate ld = LocalDate.parse("2019-02-14");
System.out.println("The LocalDate is: " + ld);
System.out.println("The day of the year is: " + ld.getDayOfYear());
