Year atDay() method in Java

The atDay() method of Year class in Java combines the current year with a day-of-year passed as parameter to it to create a LocalDate.

Syntax

public LocalDate atDay(int dayOfYear)

Return Value: It returns a Local Date formed by the current year and a date of year passed as parameter to the function.

Exception: This method throws a DateTimeException, if the day of year passed in the parameter is not valid, that is zero or less, 366 or greater or equal to 366 and the current year is not a leap year.

Program 1:  

Java




// Program to illustrate the atDay() method
 
import java.util.*;
import java.time.*;
 
public class GfG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
 
        // Creates a Year object
        Year thisYear = Year.of(2017);
 
        // Creates a local date with this
        // Year object and day passed to it
        LocalDate date = thisYear.atDay(31);
 
        System.out.println(date);
    }
}


Output: 

2017-01-31

 

Program 2: To illustrate Exception. 

Java




// Program to illustrate the atDay() method
 
import java.util.*;
import java.time.*;
 
public class GfG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
 
        // Creates a Year object
        Year thisYear = Year.of(2017);
 
        // Creates a local date with this
        // Year object and day passed to it
        try {
            LocalDate date = thisYear.atDay(367);
            System.out.println(date);
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println(e);
