• getMonth() method is used to get the field value month-of-year based on the enum Month from this date-time object.
• getMonth() 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.
• getMonth() method does not throw an exception at the time of getting the month of the year.

Return value:

The return type of this method is Month, it returns the value of the month-of-year field by using enum Month.

Example:

// Java program to demonstrate the example 
// of getMonth() method of LocalDateTime

import java.time.*;

public class GetMonthOfLocalDateTime {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        // Instantiates two LocalDateTime
        LocalDateTime da_ti1 = LocalDateTime.parse("2005-10-05T10:10:10");
        LocalDateTime da_ti2 = LocalDateTime.now();

        // Display da_ti1, da_ti2
        System.out.println("LocalDateTime da_ti1 and da_ti2: ");
        System.out.println("da_ti1: " + da_ti1);
        System.out.println("da_ti2: " + da_ti2);

        System.out.println();

        // Here, this method returns the field 
        // value month-of-year by using the Month
        // enum from this date-time object 
        // (da_ti1)
        Month get_mon = da_ti1.getMonth();

        // Display get_mon
        System.out.print("da_ti1.getMonth(): ");
        System.out.println(get_mon);

        // Here, this method returns the field
        // value month-of-year by using the Month
        // enum from this date-time object 
        // (da_ti2)
        get_mon = da_ti2.getMonth();

        // Display get_mon
        System.out.print("da_ti2.getMonth(): ");
        System.out.println(get_mon);
    }
}

Output

LocalDateTime da_ti1 and da_ti2: 
da_ti1: 2005-10-05T10:10:10
da_ti2: 2020-06-06T20:24:48.822267

da_ti1.getMonth(): OCTOBER
da_ti2.getMonth(): JUNE
