Syntax:
public JapaneseDate dateNow(Clock clock)
Parameter: This method takes the object of clock as a parameter which is used get the current Japanese date according to Japanese calendar system from the specified clock object.
Return Value: This method returns the Japanese date according to Japanese calendar system from the specified clock object.
Below are the examples to illustrate the dateNow() method:
Example 1:
// Java program to demonstrate// dateNow() 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            // JapaneseDate Object            JapaneseDate hidate                = JapaneseDate.now();              // getting JapaneseChronology            // used in JapaneseDate            JapaneseChronology crono                = hidate.getChronology();              // creating and initializing            // clock object            Clock clock = Clock.systemUTC();              // getting JapaneseDate for the            // given clock object            // by using dateNow() method            JapaneseDate date                = crono.dateNow(clock);              // display the result            System.out.println(                "JapaneseDate is: "                + date);        }        catch (DateTimeException e) {            System.out.println(                "passed parameter can "                + "not form a date");            System.out.println(                "Exception thrown: " + e);        }    }} |
Output:
JapaneseDate is: Japanese Heisei 32-03-11
