WEBVTT 00:00.840 --> 00:01.440 Hi everyone. 00:01.440 --> 00:02.760 Welcome back to this tutorial. 00:02.760 --> 00:06.510 In this tutorial, we will explore the local date class. 00:06.690 --> 00:09.630 The first step is I'm going to create a class called. 00:10.850 --> 00:14.150 Local date example. 00:15.060 --> 00:19.590 And then I'm going to make this class executable by adding public static void main method. 00:21.430 --> 00:23.050 Put this in presentation mode. 00:23.770 --> 00:24.310 There we go. 00:24.490 --> 00:29.080 The first step is we are going to create an instance of local data. 00:29.590 --> 00:30.550 Local date. 00:30.820 --> 00:31.840 Local date. 00:32.140 --> 00:37.630 Equal to new art, new local date dot now. 00:37.660 --> 00:40.240 So this is what we did in the previous tutorial to. 00:41.300 --> 00:41.930 When I printed. 00:45.300 --> 00:45.960 Local date. 00:47.730 --> 00:52.290 We know this is going to print the current machines local date. 00:55.710 --> 00:56.140 There you go. 00:56.160 --> 00:59.190 It printed the machine's current date. 00:59.280 --> 01:02.280 What are the other options of creating this? 01:02.310 --> 01:03.740 There are many more options. 01:03.750 --> 01:06.600 Let's focus some of the options in this tutorial. 01:06.840 --> 01:08.760 Local date Dot. 01:09.120 --> 01:10.500 As soon as you click the dot. 01:10.530 --> 01:13.860 The time zones are something which I'll be covering it in the future. 01:13.860 --> 01:16.230 Tutorials for now I'm going to keep it on hold. 01:16.260 --> 01:18.930 Let's explore the off method. 01:19.230 --> 01:19.800 There you go. 01:19.800 --> 01:23.010 If you have if you see the off method, it takes three arguments. 01:23.010 --> 01:23.520 Right? 01:23.550 --> 01:26.370 Let's given this, it takes three arguments. 01:26.370 --> 01:27.560 What are the three arguments? 01:27.570 --> 01:31.860 The three arguments are year, month and day of month. 01:32.340 --> 01:33.990 So the first one is year. 01:34.810 --> 01:41.470 And then the month I'm going to give the month as zero seven and then the day I'm going to give it as 01:41.470 --> 01:42.110 17th. 01:42.130 --> 01:47.710 The current machines time date is 16th and I gave the date as 17 here. 01:47.950 --> 01:51.050 So as soon as you make this call, what is this method going to return? 01:51.070 --> 01:54.460 This is going to return an instance of local date. 01:56.290 --> 01:57.820 So I'm going to give local date. 01:57.820 --> 01:59.050 I'm going to give it a name. 01:59.050 --> 02:00.820 It's going to be local date one. 02:01.270 --> 02:02.740 And let's print this. 02:04.720 --> 02:10.610 Printed going to print the current the date of this local date. 02:10.630 --> 02:14.740 One instance is going to be 17 because that's what we are passing here. 02:14.770 --> 02:19.420 The day of the month is 17 and it printed the value as 17. 02:20.920 --> 02:26.590 Let's explore the another of method version of creating the local data of. 02:27.930 --> 02:29.590 There are two different versions of it. 02:29.610 --> 02:32.640 One is the year day and another one is the Epoch Day. 02:32.670 --> 02:35.550 Epoch Day is something which we will cover in the future tutorials. 02:35.550 --> 02:40.050 For now, we will cover the year Day takes in two parameters. 02:40.050 --> 02:46.740 One is the year I'm going to give the value as 2018 and the next parameter is the day of the year. 02:46.770 --> 02:52.200 Let's see, I'm going to pass the value as 365 and then see what is the value that it is going to print. 02:52.380 --> 02:56.640 Local date, local date to equal to This is good. 02:56.880 --> 02:59.340 I'm going to print and check what is the result. 03:02.410 --> 03:05.740 The result that it is going to print is going to be. 03:07.670 --> 03:11.750 31, 12, 2018, which is the last day of the year. 03:11.750 --> 03:17.420 So in this version, if you pass the value as zero two and then check, the result is going to give 03:17.420 --> 03:20.000 you Jan second 2018 as a result. 03:20.150 --> 03:20.840 There you go. 03:20.840 --> 03:27.410 So this takes in the day of the year and then gives you the appropriate date as a response. 03:27.770 --> 03:31.910 Now we know how to create the date instance. 03:31.910 --> 03:35.510 Let's say you want to read the values from these date. 03:35.660 --> 03:41.180 Let's say you want to read just the month or just the day of the year or day of the week. 03:41.210 --> 03:42.020 How do we do it? 03:42.260 --> 03:43.100 So. 03:44.130 --> 03:45.960 Let's talk about how to get. 03:47.470 --> 03:50.140 Values from local data. 03:51.910 --> 03:52.360 Okay. 03:52.720 --> 03:55.330 The first one is I want to get the month. 03:56.110 --> 03:56.980 How can I do that? 03:57.430 --> 03:59.530 The way to do it is by. 04:00.470 --> 04:02.180 Following the get month method. 04:02.180 --> 04:05.810 If you take a look at it as soon as I typed in git, there are a lot of options here. 04:05.840 --> 04:13.490 Get year, get day of year, get day of week, month value month, chronology, day of month, get era 04:13.490 --> 04:13.970 long. 04:14.000 --> 04:16.580 For now I'm going to focus just a few methods. 04:16.580 --> 04:23.030 I would highly recommend you to explore all the methods and then find out what you can read from this 04:23.030 --> 04:24.140 date instance. 04:24.170 --> 04:25.940 I'm going to do get month. 04:27.160 --> 04:28.180 Get month. 04:29.700 --> 04:30.600 Let's print and check. 04:30.600 --> 04:31.170 What is that? 04:31.170 --> 04:32.720 It is going to return. 04:35.020 --> 04:35.770 On this. 04:37.700 --> 04:42.530 The value it printed is July because that is the current month of this. 04:43.400 --> 04:44.090 Local date. 04:44.690 --> 04:49.460 Let's say you want to get the month value, so not the month name. 04:49.460 --> 04:51.740 You want to know the month value. 04:51.770 --> 04:58.640 In that case, you can call this get month value method that is going to give you the month value as 04:58.640 --> 04:59.570 a response. 04:59.570 --> 05:01.970 The month value is seven. 05:02.690 --> 05:05.570 Let's say you want to read the day of the week. 05:05.660 --> 05:05.780 What? 05:05.780 --> 05:06.440 Can we do it? 05:07.310 --> 05:08.510 Copy this here. 05:09.530 --> 05:11.510 Paul get day of the week. 05:11.910 --> 05:15.710 Let's see, what is the response that it is going to return as part of it? 05:17.490 --> 05:21.000 So it returned the day of the week as Monday. 05:21.950 --> 05:26.390 Let's say you want to check what is a day of the year like how we calculated it here. 05:26.390 --> 05:26.990 Right. 05:27.020 --> 05:30.890 We want to calculate that get day of year. 05:33.530 --> 05:34.340 This year. 05:34.670 --> 05:35.270 And this. 05:36.160 --> 05:44.560 It gave you the value as 197 197 is a current day of the year and you can play around with all the other 05:44.560 --> 05:51.910 methods and then please shoot me a question or post any questions in the Q&A if you have any doubts 05:51.910 --> 05:52.570 on this. 05:52.690 --> 05:55.960 And then let's take a look at the next method. 05:56.050 --> 05:59.170 What are the other different ways of getting the value? 05:59.170 --> 05:59.590 Here? 05:59.590 --> 06:03.190 We use the methods that this local date instance supports, right? 06:03.190 --> 06:06.580 Let's say we want to just call the get method. 06:07.030 --> 06:11.350 So there is a get method which takes in an input call temporal field here. 06:11.470 --> 06:12.900 Right, let's go and check. 06:12.910 --> 06:16.780 So this one is accepting a field called temporal field. 06:17.200 --> 06:18.970 So what is a temporal field? 06:19.720 --> 06:21.370 There is something called Chrono Field. 06:21.370 --> 06:27.730 If you go to this class, this class implements the temporal field, let's say, what are the values 06:27.730 --> 06:29.560 that this temporal field has? 06:30.720 --> 06:30.990 Sorry. 06:30.990 --> 06:31.710 It's not a class. 06:31.710 --> 06:32.480 It's a enum. 06:32.490 --> 06:35.850 It has a lot of different values, like nanosecond and nanotech. 06:36.330 --> 06:41.700 So what we want in this one, let's say you want to just get the day of the month. 06:42.540 --> 06:43.140 Right. 06:43.260 --> 06:45.990 We just passed that and is going to give you. 06:48.100 --> 06:49.030 Day of month. 06:50.280 --> 06:51.690 Using git. 06:53.070 --> 06:53.580 Right. 06:53.700 --> 07:01.440 And then if you run this program, it is going to give you the day of the month of this particular. 07:02.900 --> 07:03.980 Date instance. 07:05.050 --> 07:11.830 Let's explore some of the other properties, like modifying the date and what are the different scenarios 07:11.830 --> 07:13.720 it supports in the future tutorials. 07:13.720 --> 07:15.720 But this we came to the end of this tutorial. 07:15.730 --> 07:16.810 Thank you for watching.
