LocalDate Class getDayOfYear() method

• getDayOfYear() method is available in java.time package.
• getDayOfYear() method is used to get the day-of-year field value of this LocalDate object.
• getDayOfYear() method is a non-static method, it is accessible with the class object only and if we try to access the method with the class name then we will get an error.
• getDayOfYear() method does not throw an exception at the time of getting the day of the year.

Syntax:

    public int getDayOfYear();

Parameter(s):

• None

Return value:

The return type of this method is int, it returns the value day-of-year field and the number of days in a year starts from 1 to 365 (i.e. for Non-Leap Year) or from 1 to 366 (i.e. for Leap Year).

Example:

// Java program to demonstrate the example 
// of getDayOfYear() method 
// of LocalDate

import java.time.*;

public class GetDayOfYearOfLocalDate {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        // Instantiates two LocalDate
        LocalDate l_da1 = LocalDate.parse("2007-04-05");
        LocalDate l_da2 = LocalDate.now();

        // 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 for
        // the field day-of-year in this
        // date object l_da1 
        int doy = l_da1.getDayOfYear();

        // Display doy
        System.out.println("l_da1.getDayOfYear(): " + doy);

        // Here, this method gets the value for
        // the field day-of-year in this
        // date object l_da2 
        doy = l_da2.getDayOfYear();

        // Display doy
        System.out.println("l_da2.getDayOfYear(): " + doy);
    }
}

Output

LocalDate l_da1 and l_da2: 
l_da1: 2007-04-05
l_da2: 2020-05-29

l_da1.getDayOfYear(): 95
l_da2.getDayOfYear(): 150
