The get() method of java.time.DayOfWeek is an in-built function in Java which takes a TemporalField as parameter and gets the value of the specified field from this day-of-week as an int. The TemporalField is a field of date-time, such as month-of-year or hour-of-minute. Date and time is expressed using such fields. If the field is DAY_OF_WEEK then the value of the day-of-week, from 1 to 7, will be returned. All other ChronoField instances will throw an UnsupportedTemporalTypeException. The int value follows the ISO-8601 standard, from 1 (Monday) to 7 (Sunday).
Method Declaration:
public int get(TemporalField field);
Syntax:
int val = DayOfWeekObject.get(TemporalField field);
Parameters: This method takes field as parameter where:
Parameters: This method does not accepts any parameters.
Return Value: The function returns int value of the day of the week, e.g, 1 for Monday, 2 for Tuesday and so on.
Below programs illustrate the above method:
Program 1:
// Java Program Demonstrate get()// method of DayOfWeek  import java.time.*;import java.time.DayOfWeek;import java.time.temporal.ChronoField;  class DayOfWeekExample {    public static void main(String[] args)    {        // Set a local date whose day is found        LocalDate localDate            = LocalDate.of(1947,                           Month.AUGUST, 15);          // Find the day from the local date        DayOfWeek dayOfWeek            = DayOfWeek.from(localDate);          // Printing the day of the week        // and its Int value        System.out.println("Day of the Week on "                           + localDate + " - "                           + dayOfWeek.name());          int val            = dayOfWeek.get(ChronoField.DAY_OF_WEEK);          System.out.println("Int Value of "                           + dayOfWeek.name()                           + " - " + val);    }} |
Day of the Week on 1947-08-15 - FRIDAY Int Value of FRIDAY - 5
Program 2:
// Java Program Demonstrate get()// method of DayOfWeekimport java.time.*;import java.time.DayOfWeek;import java.time.temporal.ChronoField;  class DayOfWeekExample {    public static void main(String[] args)    {        // Set a local date whose day is found        LocalDate localDate            = LocalDate.of(2015,                           Month.JULY, 13);          // Find the day from the local date        DayOfWeek dayOfWeek            = DayOfWeek.from(localDate);          // Printing the day of the week        // and its Int value        System.out.println("Day of the Week on "                           + localDate + " - "                           + dayOfWeek.name());          int val            = dayOfWeek.get(ChronoField.DAY_OF_WEEK);          System.out.println("Int Value of "                           + dayOfWeek.name()                           + " - " + val);    }} |
Day of the Week on 2015-07-13 - MONDAY Int Value of MONDAY - 1
