LocalDate Class getChronology() method

• getChronology() method is available in java.time package.
• getChronology() method is used to return the IsoChronology of this LocalDate object.
• getChronology() 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.
• getChronology() method does not throw an exception at the time of getting chronology.

Syntax:

    public IsoChronology getChronology();

Parameter(s):

• None

Return value:

The return type of this method is IsoChronology, it returns the chronology based on ISO of this LocalDate.

Example:

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

import java.time.*;
import java.time.chrono.*;

public class GetChronologyOfLocalDate {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        // Instantiates two LocalDate
        LocalDate l_da1 = LocalDate.parse("2007-04-04");
        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 chronology
        // of this date l_da1 that is based 
        // on ISO
        IsoChronology chronology = l_da1.getChronology();

        // Display chronology
        System.out.println("l_da1.getChronology(): " + chronology);

        // Here, this method gets the chronology
        // of this date l_da2 that is also
        // based on ISO
        chronology = l_da2.getChronology();

        // Display chronology
        System.out.println("l_da2.getChronology(): " + chronology);
    }
}

Output

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

l_da1.getChronology(): ISO
l_da2.getChronology(): ISO
