In LocalDate class, there are two types of parse() method depending upon the parameters passed to it.
parse(CharSequence text)
parse() method of a LocalDate class used to get an instance of LocalDate from a string such as ‘2018-10-23’ passed as parameter.The string must have a valid date-time and is parsed using DateTimeFormatter.ISO_LOCAL_DATE.
Syntax:
public static LocalDate parse(CharSequence text)
Parameters: This method accepts only one parameter text which is the text to parse in LocalDate. It should not be null.
Return value: This method returns LocalDate which is the parsed local date-time.
Exception: This method throws DateTimeParseException if the text cannot be parsed.
Below programs illustrate the parse() method:
Program 1:
Java
// LocalDate.parse() methodimport java.time.*;public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // create an LocalDate object LocalDate lt = LocalDate.parse("2018-12-27"); // print result System.out.println("LocalDate : " + lt); }} |
LocalDate : 2018-12-27
parse(CharSequence text, DateTimeFormatter formatter)
parse() method of a LocalDate class used to get an instance of LocalDate from a string such as ‘2018-10-23’ passed as parameter using a specific formatter.The date-time is parsed using a specific formatter.
Syntax:
public static LocalDate parse(CharSequence text,
DateTimeFormatter formatter)
Parameters: This method accepts two parameters text which is the text to parse and formatter which is the formatter to use.
Return value: This method returns LocalDate which is the parsed local date-time.
Exception: This method throws DateTimeParseException if the text cannot be parsed.
Below programs illustrate the parse() method:
Program 1:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate// LocalDate.parse() methodimport java.time.*;import java.time.format.*;public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // create a formatter DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("dd MMM uuuu"); // create a LocalDate object and LocalDate lt = LocalDate.parse("31 Dec 2018", formatter); // print result System.out.println("LocalDate : " + lt.toString()); }} |
LocalDate : 2018-12-31
