The atStartOfDay() method of LocalDate class in Java is combines this date with the time of midnight to create a LocalDateTime at the start of this date. Syntax:
public ZonedDateTime atStartOfDay(ZoneId zone)
Parameter: This method accepts a parameter zone which is the zone ID to be used and not necessary null. The parameter is not mandatory. Return Value: It returns the local date-time of midnight at the start of this date, not null. Below programs illustrate the atStartOfDay() method of LocalDate in Java: Program 1:
Java
// Program to illustrate the atStartOfDay() methodimport java.util.*;import java.time.*;public class GfG { public static void main(String[] args) { // parses the local date LocalDate dt = LocalDate.parse("2019-11-01"); System.out.println(dt); // Function call LocalDateTime dt1 = dt.atStartOfDay(); System.out.println(dt1); }} |
Output:
2019-11-01 2019-11-01T00:00
Program 2: Program with parameters.
Java
// Program to illustrate the atStartOfDay() methodimport java.util.*;import java.time.*;public class GfG { public static void main(String[] args) { // parses the local date LocalDate dt = LocalDate.parse("2018-01-20"); System.out.println(dt); // Function call ZonedDateTime dt1 = dt.atStartOfDay(ZoneId.systemDefault()); System.out.println(dt1); }} |
Output:
2018-01-20 2018-01-20T00:00Z[Etc/UTC]
