Class LocalDate
- All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable,Comparable<ChronoLocalDate>,ChronoLocalDate,Temporal,TemporalAccessor,TemporalAdjuster
2007-12-03.
LocalDate is an immutable date-time object that represents a date,
often viewed as year-month-day. Other date fields, such as day-of-year,
day-of-week and week-of-year, can also be accessed.
For example, the value "2nd October 2007" can be stored in a LocalDate.
This class does not store or represent a time or time-zone. Instead, it is a description of the date, as used for birthdays. It cannot represent an instant on the time-line without additional information such as an offset or time-zone.
The ISO-8601 calendar system is the modern civil calendar system used today in most of the world. It is equivalent to the proleptic Gregorian calendar system, in which today's rules for leap years are applied for all time. For most applications written today, the ISO-8601 rules are entirely suitable. However, any application that makes use of historical dates, and requires them to be accurate will find the ISO-8601 approach unsuitable.
This is a value-based
class; programmers should treat instances that are
equal as interchangeable and should not
use instances for synchronization, or unpredictable behavior may
occur. For example, in a future release, synchronization may fail.
The equals method should be used for comparisons.
- Implementation Requirements:
- This class is immutable and thread-safe.

- 1.8

Method Details
-
now
Obtains the current date from the system clock in the default time-zone.This will query the
system clockin the default time-zone to obtain the current date.Using this method will prevent the ability to use an alternate clock for testing because the clock is hard-coded.
- Returns:
- the current date using the system clock and default time-zone, not null
-
now
Obtains the current date from the system clock in the specified time-zone.This will query the
system clockto obtain the current date. Specifying the time-zone avoids dependence on the default time-zone.Using this method will prevent the ability to use an alternate clock for testing because the clock is hard-coded.
- Parameters:
zone- the zone ID to use, not null- Returns:
- the current date using the system clock, not null
-
now
Obtains the current date from the specified clock.This will query the specified clock to obtain the current date - today. Using this method allows the use of an alternate clock for testing. The alternate clock may be introduced using
dependency injection.- Parameters:
clock- the clock to use, not null- Returns:
- the current date, not null
-
of
Obtains an instance ofLocalDatefrom a year, month and day.This returns a
LocalDatewith the specified year, month and day-of-month. The day must be valid for the year and month, otherwise an exception will be thrown.- Parameters:
year- the year to represent, from MIN_YEAR to MAX_YEARmonth- the month-of-year to represent, not nulldayOfMonth- the day-of-month to represent, from 1 to 31- Returns:
- the local date, not null
- Throws:
DateTimeException- if the value of any field is out of range, or if the day-of-month is invalid for the month-year
-
of
Obtains an instance ofLocalDatefrom a year, month and day.This returns a
LocalDatewith the specified year, month and day-of-month. The day must be valid for the year and month, otherwise an exception will be thrown.- Parameters:
year- the year to represent, from MIN_YEAR to MAX_YEARmonth- the month-of-year to represent, from 1 (January) to 12 (December)dayOfMonth- the day-of-month to represent, from 1 to 31- Returns:
- the local date, not null
- Throws:
DateTimeException- if the value of any field is out of range, or if the day-of-month is invalid for the month-year
-
ofYearDay
Obtains an instance ofLocalDatefrom a year and day-of-year.This returns a
LocalDatewith the specified year and day-of-year. The day-of-year must be valid for the year, otherwise an exception will be thrown.- Parameters:
year- the year to represent, from MIN_YEAR to MAX_YEARdayOfYear- the day-of-year to represent, from 1 to 366- Returns:
- the local date, not null
- Throws:
DateTimeException- if the value of any field is out of range, or if the day-of-year is invalid for the year
-
ofInstant
Obtains an instance ofLocalDatefrom anInstantand zone ID.This creates a local date based on the specified instant. First, the offset from UTC/Greenwich is obtained using the zone ID and instant, which is simple as there is only one valid offset for each instant. Then, the instant and offset are used to calculate the local date.
- Parameters:
instant- the instant to create the date from, not nullzone- the time-zone, which may be an offset, not null- Returns:
- the local date, not null
- Throws:
DateTimeException- if the result exceeds the supported range- Since:
- 9

ofEpochDay
Obtains an instance ofLocalDatefrom the epoch day count.This returns a
LocalDatewith the specified epoch-day. TheEPOCH_DAYis a simple incrementing count of days where day 0 is 1970-01-01. Negative numbers represent earlier days.- Parameters:
epochDay- the Epoch Day to convert, based on the epoch 1970-01-01- Returns:
- the local date, not null
- Throws:
DateTimeException- if the epoch day exceeds the supported date range
-
from
Obtains an instance ofLocalDatefrom a temporal object.This obtains a local date based on the specified temporal. A
TemporalAccessorrepresents an arbitrary set of date and time information, which this factory converts to an instance ofLocalDate.The conversion uses the
TemporalQueries.localDate()query, which relies on extracting theEPOCH_DAYfield.This method matches the signature of the functional interface
TemporalQueryallowing it to be used as a query via method reference,LocalDate::from.- Parameters:
temporal- the temporal object to convert, not null- Returns:
- the local date, not null
- Throws:
DateTimeException- if unable to convert to aLocalDate

Obtains an instance ofLocalDatefrom a text string using a specific formatter.The text is parsed using the formatter, returning a date.
- Parameters:
text- the text to parse, not nullformatter- the formatter to use, not null- Returns:
- the parsed local date, not null
- Throws:
DateTimeParseException- if the text cannot be parsed
-
isSupported

ChronoFieldinstances will return false.If the field is not a
ChronoField, then the result of this method is obtained by invokingTemporalField.isSupportedBy(TemporalAccessor)passingthisas the argument. Whether the field is supported is determined by the field.- Specified by:
isSupportedin interfaceChronoLocalDate- Specified by:
isSupportedin interfaceTemporalAccessor- Parameters:
field- the field to check, null returns false- Returns:
- true if the field is supported on this date, false if not
-
isSupported
Checks if the specified unit is supported.This checks if the specified unit can be added to, or subtracted from, this date. If false, then calling the

isSupportedin interfaceTemporal- Parameters:
unit- the unit to check, null returns false- Returns:
- true if the unit can be added/subtracted, false if not
-
range
Gets the range of valid values for the specified field.The range object expresses the minimum and maximum valid values for a field. This date is used to enhance the accuracy of the returned range. If it is not possible to return the range, because the field is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.
If the field is a
ChronoFieldthen the query is implemented here. Thesupported fieldswill return appropriate range instances. All otherChronoFieldinstances will throw anUnsupportedTemporalTypeException.If the field is not a
ChronoField, then the result of this method is obtained by invokingTemporalField.rangeRefinedBy(TemporalAccessor)passingthisas the argument. Whether the range can be obtained is determined by the field.- Specified by:
rangein interfaceTemporalAccessor- Parameters:
field- the field to query the range for, not null- Returns:
- the range of valid values for the field, not null
- Throws:
DateTimeException- if the range for the field cannot be obtainedUnsupportedTemporalTypeException- if the field is not supported
-
get
Gets the value of the specified field from this date as anint.This queries this date for the value of the specified field. The returned value will always be within the valid range of values for the field. If it is not possible to return the value, because the field is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.
If the field is a
ChronoFieldthen the query is implemented here. Thesupported fieldswill return valid values based on this date, exceptEPOCH_DAYandPROLEPTIC_MONTHwhich are too large to fit in anintand throw anUnsupportedTemporalTypeException. All otherChronoFieldinstances will throw anUnsupportedTemporalTypeException.If the field is not a
ChronoField, then the result of this method is obtained by invokingTemporalField.getFrom(TemporalAccessor)passingthisas the argument. Whether the value can be obtained, and what the value represents, is determined by the field.- Specified by:
getin interfaceTemporalAccessor- Parameters:
field- the field to get, not null- Returns:
- the value for the field
- Throws:
DateTimeException- if a value for the field cannot be obtained or the value is outside the range of valid values for the fieldUnsupportedTemporalTypeException- if the field is not supported or the range of values exceeds anintArithmeticException- if numeric overflow occurs
-
getLong
Gets the value of the specified field from this date as along.This queries this date for the value of the specified field. If it is not possible to return the value, because the field is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.
If the field is a
ChronoFieldthen the query is implemented here. Thesupported fieldswill return valid values based on this date. All otherChronoFieldinstances will throw anUnsupportedTemporalTypeException.If the field is not a
ChronoField, then the result of this method is obtained by invokingTemporalField.getFrom(TemporalAccessor)passingthisas the argument. Whether the value can be obtained, and what the value represents, is determined by the field.- Specified by:
getLongin interfaceTemporalAccessor- Parameters:
field- the field to get, not null- Returns:
- the value for the field
- Throws:
DateTimeException- if a value for the field cannot be obtainedUnsupportedTemporalTypeException- if the field is not supportedArithmeticException- if numeric overflow occurs
-
getChronology
Gets the chronology of this date, which is the ISO calendar system.The
Chronologyrepresents the calendar system in use. The ISO-8601 calendar system is the modern civil calendar system used today in most of the world. It is equivalent to the proleptic Gregorian calendar system, in which today's rules for leap years are applied for all time.- Specified by:
getChronologyin interfaceChronoLocalDate- Returns:
- the ISO chronology, not null
-
getEra
Gets the era applicable at this date.The official ISO-8601 standard does not define eras, however
IsoChronologydoes. It defines two eras, 'CE' from year one onwards and 'BCE' from year zero backwards. Since dates before the Julian-Gregorian cutover are not in line with history, the cutover between 'BCE' and 'CE' is also not aligned with the commonly used eras, often referred to using 'BC' and 'AD'.Users of this class should typically ignore this method as it exists primarily to fulfill the
ChronoLocalDatecontract where it is necessary to support the Japanese calendar system.- Specified by:
getErain interfaceChronoLocalDate- Returns:
- the IsoEra applicable at this date, not null
-
getYear
public int getYear()Gets the year field.This method returns the primitive
intvalue for the year.The year returned by this method is proleptic as per
get(YEAR). To obtain the year-of-era, useget(YEAR_OF_ERA).- Returns:
- the year, from MIN_YEAR to MAX_YEAR
-
getMonthValue
public int getMonthValue()Gets the month-of-year field from 1 to 12.This method returns the month as an
intfrom 1 to 12. Application code is frequently clearer if the enumMonthis used by callinggetMonth().- Returns:
- the month-of-year, from 1 to 12
- See Also:
-
getMonth
-
getDayOfMonth
public int getDayOfMonth()Gets the day-of-month field.This method returns the primitive
intvalue for the day-of-month.- Returns:
- the day-of-month, from 1 to 31
-
getDayOfYear
public int getDayOfYear()Gets the day-of-year field.This method returns the primitive
intvalue for the day-of-year.- Returns:
- the day-of-year, from 1 to 365, or 366 in a leap year
-
getDayOfWeek
Gets the day-of-week field, which is an enumDayOfWeek.This method returns the enum
DayOfWeekfor the day-of-week. This avoids confusion as to whatintvalues mean. If you need access to the primitiveintvalue then the enum provides theint value.Additional information can be obtained from the
DayOfWeek. This includes textual names of the values.- Returns:
- the day-of-week, not null
-
isLeapYear
public boolean isLeapYear()Checks if the year is a leap year, according to the ISO proleptic calendar system rules.This method applies the current rules for leap years across the whole time-line. In general, a year is a leap year if it is divisible by four without remainder. However, years divisible by 100, are not leap years, with the exception of years divisible by 400 which are.
For example, 1904 is a leap year it is divisible by 4. 1900 was not a leap year as it is divisible by 100, however 2000 was a leap year as it is divisible by 400.
The calculation is proleptic - applying the same rules into the far future and far past. This is historically inaccurate, but is correct for the ISO-8601 standard.
- Specified by:
isLeapYearin interfaceChronoLocalDate- Returns:
- true if the year is leap, false otherwise
-
lengthOfMonth
public int lengthOfMonth()Returns the length of the month represented by this date.This returns the length of the month in days. For example, a date in January would return 31.
- Specified by:
lengthOfMonthin interfaceChronoLocalDate- Returns:
- the length of the month in days
-
lengthOfYear
public int lengthOfYear()Returns the length of the year represented by this date.This returns the length of the year in days, either 365 or 366.
- Specified by:
lengthOfYearin interfaceChronoLocalDate- Returns:
- 366 if the year is leap, 365 otherwise
-
with
Returns an adjusted copy of this date.This returns a
LocalDate, based on this one, with the date adjusted. The adjustment takes place using the specified adjuster strategy object. Read the documentation of the adjuster to understand what adjustment will be made.A simple adjuster might simply set the one of the fields, such as the year field. A more complex adjuster might set the date to the last day of the month.
A selection of common adjustments is provided in
TemporalAdjusters. These include finding the "last day of the month" and "next Wednesday". Key date-time classes also implement theTemporalAdjusterinterface, such asMonthandMonthDay. The adjuster is responsible for handling special cases, such as the varying lengths of month and leap years.For example this code returns a date on the last day of July:
import static java.time.Month.*; import static java.time.temporal.TemporalAdjusters.*; result = localDate.with(JULY).with(lastDayOfMonth());
The result of this method is obtained by invoking the
TemporalAdjuster.adjustInto(Temporal)method on the specified adjuster passingthisas the argument.This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.
- Specified by:
within interfaceChronoLocalDate- Specified by:
within interfaceTemporal- Parameters:
adjuster- the adjuster to use, not null- Returns:
- a
LocalDatebased onthiswith the adjustment made, not null - Throws:
DateTimeException- if the adjustment cannot be madeArithmeticException- if numeric overflow occurs
-
with
Returns a copy of this date with the specified field set to a new value.This returns a
LocalDate, based on this one, with the value for the specified field changed. This can be used to change any supported field, such as the year, month or day-of-month. If it is not possible to set the value, because the field is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.In some cases, changing the specified field can cause the resulting date to become invalid, such as changing the month from 31st January to February would make the day-of-month invalid. In cases like this, the field is responsible for resolving the date. Typically it will choose the previous valid date, which would be the last valid day of February in this example.
If the field is a
ChronoFieldthen the adjustment is implemented here. The supported fields behave as follows:DAY_OF_WEEK- Returns aLocalDatewith the specified day-of-week. The date is adjusted up to 6 days forward or backward within the boundary of a Monday to Sunday week.ALIGNED_DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_MONTH- Returns aLocalDatewith the specified aligned-day-of-week. The date is adjusted to the specified month-based aligned-day-of-week. Aligned weeks are counted such that the first week of a given month starts on the first day of that month. This may cause the date to be moved up to 6 days into the following month.ALIGNED_DAY_OF_WEEK_IN_YEAR- Returns aLocalDatewith the specified aligned-day-of-week. The date is adjusted to the specified year-based aligned-day-of-week. Aligned weeks are counted such that the first week of a given year starts on the first day of that year. This may cause the date to be moved up to 6 days into the following year.DAY_OF_MONTH- Returns aLocalDatewith the specified day-of-month. The month and year will be unchanged. If the day-of-month is invalid for the year and month, then aDateTimeExceptionis thrown.DAY_OF_YEAR- Returns aLocalDatewith the specified day-of-year. The year will be unchanged. If the day-of-year is invalid for the year, then aDateTimeExceptionis thrown.EPOCH_DAY- Returns aLocalDatewith the specified epoch-day. This completely replaces the date and is equivalent toofEpochDay(long).ALIGNED_WEEK_OF_MONTH- Returns aLocalDatewith the specified aligned-week-of-month. Aligned weeks are counted such that the first week of a given month starts on the first day of that month. This adjustment moves the date in whole week chunks to match the specified week. The result will have the same day-of-week as this date. This may cause the date to be moved into the following month.ALIGNED_WEEK_OF_YEAR- Returns aLocalDatewith the specified aligned-week-of-year. Aligned weeks are counted such that the first week of a given year starts on the first day of that year. This adjustment moves the date in whole week chunks to match the specified week. The result will have the same day-of-week as this date. This may cause the date to be moved into the following year.MONTH_OF_YEAR- Returns aLocalDatewith the specified month-of-year. The year will be unchanged. The day-of-month will also be unchanged, unless it would be invalid for the new month and year. In that case, the day-of-month is adjusted to the maximum valid value for the new month and year.PROLEPTIC_MONTH- Returns aLocalDatewith the specified proleptic-month. The day-of-month will be unchanged, unless it would be invalid for the new month and year. In that case, the day-of-month is adjusted to the maximum valid value for the new month and year.YEAR_OF_ERA- Returns aLocalDatewith the specified year-of-era. The era and month will be unchanged. The day-of-month will also be unchanged, unless it would be invalid for the new month and year. In that case, the day-of-month is adjusted to the maximum valid value for the new month and year.YEAR- Returns aLocalDatewith the specified year. The month will be unchanged. The day-of-month will also be unchanged, unless it would be invalid for the new month and year. In that case, the day-of-month is adjusted to the maximum valid value for the new month and year.ERA- Returns aLocalDatewith the specified era. The year-of-era and month will be unchanged. The day-of-month will also be unchanged, unless it would be invalid for the new month and year. In that case, the day-of-month is adjusted to the maximum valid value for the new month and year.
In all cases, if the new value is outside the valid range of values for the field then a
DateTimeExceptionwill be thrown.All other
ChronoFieldinstances will throw anUnsupportedTemporalTypeException.If the field is not a
ChronoField, then the result of this method is obtained by invokingTemporalField.adjustInto(Temporal, long)passingthisas the argument. In this case, the field determines whether and how to adjust the instant.This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

plus
Returns a copy of this date with the specified amount added.This returns a
LocalDate, based on this one, with the specified amount added. The amount is typicallyPeriodbut may be any other type implementing theTemporalAmountinterface.The calculation is delegated to the amount object by calling
TemporalAmount.addTo(Temporal). The amount implementation is free to implement the addition in any way it wishes, however it typically calls back toplus(long, TemporalUnit). Consult the documentation of the amount implementation to determine if it can be successfully added.This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

plus
Returns a copy of this date with the specified amount added.This returns a
LocalDate, based on this one, with the amount in terms of the unit added. If it is not possible to add the amount, because the unit is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.In some cases, adding the amount can cause the resulting date to become invalid. For example, adding one month to 31st January would result in 31st February. In cases like this, the unit is responsible for resolving the date. Typically it will choose the previous valid date, which would be the last valid day of February in this example.
If the field is a
ChronoUnitthen the addition is implemented here. The supported fields behave as follows:DAYS- Returns aLocalDatewith the specified number of days added. This is equivalent toplusDays(long).WEEKS- Returns aLocalDatewith the specified number of weeks added. This is equivalent toplusWeeks(long)and uses a 7 day week.MONTHS- Returns aLocalDatewith the specified number of months added. This is equivalent toplusMonths(long). The day-of-month will be unchanged unless it would be invalid for the new month and year. In that case, the day-of-month is adjusted to the maximum valid value for the new month and year.YEARS- Returns aLocalDatewith the specified number of years added. This is equivalent toplusYears(long). The day-of-month will be unchanged unless it would be invalid for the new month and year. In that case, the day-of-month is adjusted to the maximum valid value for the new month and year.DECADES- Returns aLocalDatewith the specified number of decades added. This is equivalent to callingplusYears(long)with the amount multiplied by 10. The day-of-month will be unchanged unless it would be invalid for the new month and year. In that case, the day-of-month is adjusted to the maximum valid value for the new month and year.CENTURIES- Returns aLocalDatewith the specified number of centuries added. This is equivalent to callingplusYears(long)with the amount multiplied by 100. The day-of-month will be unchanged unless it would be invalid for the new month and year. In that case, the day-of-month is adjusted to the maximum valid value for the new month and year.MILLENNIA- Returns aLocalDatewith the specified number of millennia added. This is equivalent to callingplusYears(long)with the amount multiplied by 1,000. The day-of-month will be unchanged unless it would be invalid for the new month and year. In that case, the day-of-month is adjusted to the maximum valid value for the new month and year.ERAS- Returns aLocalDatewith the specified number of eras added. Only two eras are supported so the amount must be one, zero or minus one. If the amount is non-zero then the year is changed such that the year-of-era is unchanged. The day-of-month will be unchanged unless it would be invalid for the new month and year. In that case, the day-of-month is adjusted to the maximum valid value for the new month and year.
All other
ChronoUnitinstances will throw anUnsupportedTemporalTypeException.If the field is not a
ChronoUnit, then the result of this method is obtained by invokingTemporalUnit.addTo(Temporal, long)passingthisas the argument. In this case, the unit determines whether and how to perform the addition.This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

query
Queries this date using the specified query.This queries this date using the specified query strategy object. The
TemporalQueryobject defines the logic to be used to obtain the result. Read the documentation of the query to understand what the result of this method will be.The result of this method is obtained by invoking the
TemporalQuery.queryFrom(TemporalAccessor)method on the specified query passingthisas the argument.- Specified by:
queryin interfaceChronoLocalDate- Specified by:
queryin interfaceTemporalAccessor- Type Parameters:
R- the type of the result- Parameters:
query- the query to invoke, not null- Returns:

adjustInto
Adjusts the specified temporal object to have the same date as this object.This returns a temporal object of the same observable type as the input with the date changed to be the same as this.
The adjustment is equivalent to using
Temporal.with(TemporalField, long)passingChronoField.EPOCH_DAYas the field.In most cases, it is clearer to reverse the calling pattern by using
Temporal.with(TemporalAdjuster):// these two lines are equivalent, but the second approach is recommended temporal = thisLocalDate.adjustInto(temporal); temporal = temporal.with(thisLocalDate);
This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.
- Specified by:
adjustIntoin interfaceChronoLocalDate- Specified by:

temporal- the target object to be adjusted, not null- Returns:
- the adjusted object, not null
- Throws:
DateTimeException- if unable to make the adjustmentArithmeticException- if numeric overflow occurs

until
Calculates the amount of time until another date in terms of the specified unit.This calculates the amount of time between two
LocalDateobjects in terms of a singleTemporalUnit. The start and end points arethisand the specified date. The result will be negative if the end is before the start. TheTemporalpassed to this method is converted to aLocalDateusingfrom(TemporalAccessor). For example, the amount in days between two dates can be calculated usingstartDate.until(endDate, DAYS).The calculation returns a whole number, representing the number of complete units between the two dates. For example, the amount in months between 2012-06-15 and 2012-08-14 will only be one month as it is one day short of two months.
There are two equivalent ways of using this method. The first is to invoke this method. The second is to use
TemporalUnit.between(Temporal, Temporal):// these two lines are equivalent amount = start.until(end, MONTHS); amount = MONTHS.between(start, end);
The choice should be made based on which makes the code more readable.The calculation is implemented in this method for
ChronoUnit. The unitsDAYS,WEEKS,MONTHS,YEARS,DECADES,CENTURIES,MILLENNIAandERASare supported. OtherChronoUnitvalues will throw an exception.If the unit is not a
ChronoUnit, then the result of this method is obtained by invokingTemporalUnit.between(Temporal, Temporal)passingthisas the first argument and the converted input temporal as the second argument.This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.
- Specified by:
untilin interfaceChronoLocalDate- Specified by:
untilin interfaceTemporal- Parameters:
endExclusive- the end date, exclusive, which is converted to aLocalDate, not nullunit- the unit to measure the amount in, not null- Returns:
- the amount of time between this date and the end date
- Throws:
DateTimeException- if the amount cannot be calculated, or the end temporal cannot be converted to aLocalDateUnsupportedTemporalTypeException- if the unit is not supportedArithmeticException- if numeric overflow occurs
-
until
Calculates the period between this date and another date as aPeriod.This calculates the period between two dates in terms of years, months and days. The start and end points are
thisand the specified date. The result will be negative if the end is before the start. The negative sign will be the same in each of year, month and day.The calculation is performed using the ISO calendar system. If necessary, the input date will be converted to ISO.
The start date is included, but the end date is not. The period is calculated by removing complete months, then calculating the remaining number of days, adjusting to ensure that both have the same sign. The number of months is then normalized into years and months based on a 12 month year. A month is considered to be complete if the end day-of-month is greater than or equal to the start day-of-month. For example, from
2010-01-15to2011-03-18is "1 year, 2 months and 3 days".There are two equivalent ways of using this method. The first is to invoke this method. The second is to use
Period.between(LocalDate, LocalDate):// these two lines are equivalent period = start.until(end); period = Period.between(start, end);
The choice should be made based on which makes the code more readable.- Specified by:
untilin interfaceChronoLocalDate- Parameters:
endDateExclusive- the end date, exclusive, which may be in any chronology, not null- Returns:
- the period between this date and the end date, not null
-
datesUntil

- a sequential
Streamfor the range ofLocalDatevalues - Throws:
IllegalArgumentException- if end date is before this date- Since:

datesUntil
Returns a sequential ordered stream of dates by given incremental step. The returned stream starts from this date (inclusive) and goes toendExclusive(exclusive).The n-th date which appears in the stream is equal to
this.plus(step.multipliedBy(n))(but the result of step multiplication never overflows). For example, if this date is2015-01-31, the end date is2015-05-01and the step is 1 month, then the stream contains2015-01-31,2015-02-28,2015-03-31, and2015-04-30.- Parameters:
endExclusive- the end date, exclusive, not nullstep- the non-zero, non-negativePeriodwhich represents the step.- Returns:

atStartOfDay
Combines this date with the time of midnight to create aLocalDateTimeat the start of this date.This returns a
LocalDateTimeformed from this date at the time of midnight, 00:00, at the start of this date.- Returns:
- the local date-time of midnight at the start of this date, not null
-
atStartOfDay
Returns a zoned date-time from this date at the earliest valid time according to the rules in the time-zone.Time-zone rules, such as daylight savings, mean that not every local date-time is valid for the specified zone, thus the local date-time may not be midnight.
In most cases, there is only one valid offset for a local date-time. In the case of an overlap, there are two valid offsets, and the earlier one is used, corresponding to the first occurrence of midnight on the date. In the case of a gap, the zoned date-time will represent the instant just after the gap.
If the zone ID is a
ZoneOffset, then the result always has a time of midnight.To convert to a specific time in a given time-zone call
atTime(LocalTime)followed byLocalDateTime.atZone(ZoneId).- Parameters:
zone- the zone ID to use, not null- Returns:
- the zoned date-time formed from this date and the earliest valid time for the zone, not null
-

Instants on the time-line after the epoch are positive, earlier are negative.
- Parameters:
time- the local time, not nulloffset- the zone offset, not null- Returns:
- the number of seconds since the epoch of 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z, may be negative
- Since:

compareTo
Compares this date to another date.The comparison is primarily based on the date, from earliest to latest. It is "consistent with equals", as defined by
Comparable.If all the dates being compared are instances of
LocalDate, then the comparison will be entirely based on the date. If some dates being compared are in different chronologies, then the chronology is also considered, seeChronoLocalDate.compareTo(java.time.chrono.ChronoLocalDate).- Specified by:
