// 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
            // JapaneseDate Object
            JapaneseDate hidate
                = JapaneseDate.now();
 
            // getting JapaneseChronology
            // used in JapaneseDate
            JapaneseChronology crono
                = hidate.getChronology();
 
            // getting JapaneseDate for the
            // given date and year field
            // by using dateYearDay() method
            JapaneseDate date
                = crono.dateYearDay(2018, 24);
 
            // 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(

// 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
            // JapaneseDate Object
            JapaneseDate hidate
                = JapaneseDate.now();
 
            // getting JapaneseChronology
            // used in JapaneseDate
            JapaneseChronology crono
                = hidate.getChronology();
 
            // getting JapaneseDate for the
            // given date and year field
            // by using dateYearDay() method
            JapaneseDate date
                = crono.dateYearDay(1440, 24);
 
            // display the result
            System.out.println(
                "JapaneseDate is: "
                + date);
        }
        catch (DateTimeException e) {
            System.out.println(
                "passed parameter can "
                + "not form a date");
