Below programs illustrate the LocalDate.withYear() method:
Program 1:
// Program to illustrate the withYear() method  import java.util.*;import java.time.*;  public class GfG {    public static void main(String[] args)    {          // Parses the date        LocalDate dt1 = LocalDate.parse("2018-12-07");        LocalDate result = dt1.withYear(2018);          // Prints the date with year        System.out.println("The date with year is: " + result);    }} |
The date with year is: 2018-12-07
Program 2:
// Program to illustrate the withYear() method  import java.util.*;import java.time.*;  public class GfG {    public static void main(String[] args)    {          // Parses the date        LocalDate dt1 = LocalDate.parse("2018-01-07");        LocalDate result = dt1.withYear(2014);          // Prints the date with year        System.out.println("The date with year is: " + result);    }} |
The date with year is: 2014-01-07
