import java.time.*;

public class GetDayOfMonthOfLocalDate {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        // Instantiates two LocalDate

        // Display l_da1,l_da2
        System.out.println("LocalDate l_da1 and l_da2: ");
        System.out.println("l_da1: " + l_da1);
        System.out.println("l_da2: " + l_da2);

        System.out.println();

        // Here, this method gets the value of
        // the field day-of-month in this
        // date object l_da1
        int dom = l_da1.getDayOfMonth();

        // Display dom
        System.out.println("l_da1.getDayOfMonth(): " + dom);

        // the field day-of-month in this
        // date object l_da2
        dom = l_da2.getDayOfMonth();
