The dateYearDay() method of java.time.chrono.HijrahChronology class is used to retrieve the local date according to the Islamic hijri calendar for the particular year and date.

                              int day)

Parameter: This method takes the following arguments as parameter: 
 

  • year: which is the integer proleptic year for the year field of HijrahDate
  • day: which is the integer day for the day field of HijrahDate

Return Value: This method returns the local date according to the Islamic hijri calendar for the particular year and date.
Exception: This method throws DateTimeException if the given field of day, month and year are unable to form a structured date.
Below are the examples to illustrate the dateYearDay() method:
Example 1: 
 

Java




// Java program to demonstrate
// dateYearDay() method
 
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.time.*;
import java.time.chrono.*;
 
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
        try {
            // creating and initializing HijrahDate Object
            HijrahDate hidate = HijrahDate.now();
 
            // getting HijrahChronology used in HijrahDate
            HijrahChronology crono = hidate.getChronology();
 
            // getting HijrahDate for the
            // given date and year field
            // by using dateYearDay() method
            HijrahDate date = crono.dateYearDay(1440, 24);
 
            // display the result
            System.out.println("HijrahDate is: " + date);
        }
        catch (DateTimeException e) {
            System.out.println("passed parameter can "
                               + "not form a date");
            System.out.println("Exception thrown: " + e);
        }
    }
}


Output: 

HijrahDate is: Hijrah-umalqura AH 1440-01-24

 

Example 2: 
 

Java




// Java program to demonstrate
// dateYearDay() method
 
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.time.*;
import java.time.chrono.*;
 
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
        try {
            // creating and initializing HijrahDate Object
            HijrahDate hidate = HijrahDate.now();
 
            // getting HijrahChronology used in HijrahDate
            HijrahChronology crono = hidate.getChronology();
 
            // getting HijrahDate for the
            // given date and year field
            // by using dateYearDay() method
            HijrahDate date = crono.dateYearDay(2019, 24);
 
            // display the result
            System.out.println("HijrahDate is: " + date);
        }
        catch (DateTimeException e) {
            System.out.println("passed parameter can "
                               + "not form a date");
            System.out.println("Exception thrown: " + e);
