MonthDay get() method in Java with Examples

The get() method of MonthDay class in Java gets the value of the specified field from this month-day as an int. Syntax:

public int get(TemporalField field)

Parameter: This method accepts a parameter field which specifies the field to get and not null. Returns: The function returns the value for the field. Exceptions: The function throws three exceptions as described below:

  • DateTimeException: this is thrown when a value for the field cannot be obtained or the value is outside the range of valid values for the field.
  • UnsupportedTemporalTypeException: it is thrown when the field is not supported or the range of values exceeds an int
  • ArithmeticException: thrown when a numeric overflow occurs.

Below programs illustrate the MonthDay.get() method: Program 1: 

Java




// Program to illustrate the get() method
 
import java.util.*;
import java.time.*;
import java.time.temporal.ChronoField;
 
public class GfG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
 
        // Parses the date
        MonthDay tm1
            = MonthDay.parse("--10-12");
 
        System.out.println(
            tm1.get(ChronoField.DAY_OF_MONTH));
    }
}


Output:

12

Program 2: 

Java




// Program to illustrate the get() method
 
import java.util.*;
import java.time.*;
import java.time.temporal.ChronoField;
 
public class GfG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
 
        // Parses the date
        MonthDay tm1
            = MonthDay.parse("--12-06");
 
        System.out.println(
            tm1.get(ChronoField.DAY_OF_MONTH));
    }
}


Output:

6

Program 3: To demonstrate DateTimeParseException 

Java




// Program to illustrate the get() method
 
import java.util.*;
import java.time.*;
import java.time.temporal.ChronoField;
 
public class GfG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
 
        try {
 
            // Parses the date
            MonthDay tm1
                = MonthDay.parse("--13-12");
 
            System.out.println(
                tm1.get(ChronoField.DAY_OF_MONTH));
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println(e);
        }
    }
}


Output:

java.time.format.DateTimeParseException:
 Text '--13-12' could not be parsed:
 Unable to obtain MonthDay from TemporalAccessor:
 {DayOfMonth=12, MonthOfYear=13},
 ISO of type java.time.format.Parsed
