LocalDate now() Method in Java


The current date can be obtained from the system clock in the default time zone using the now() method in the LocalDate class in Java. This method requires no parameters and it returns the current date from the system clock in the default time zone

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.now();
      System.out.println("The LocalDate is: " + ld);
   }
}

Output

The LocalDate is: 2019-02-15

Now let us understand the above program.

The current date is obtained from the system clock in the default time zone using the now() method and then it is displayed. A code snippet that demonstrates this is as follows −

LocalDate ld = LocalDate.now();
System.out.println("The LocalDate is: " + ld);
