Parameters: This method accepts nothing.

Return value: This method returns true if it is a component of a date.

Below programs illustrate the ChronoField.isDateBased() method:
Program 1:




// Java program to demonstrate
// ChronoField.isDateBased() method
  
import java.time.temporal.ChronoField;
  
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        // get chronoField
        ChronoField chronoField
            = ChronoField.valueOf("HOUR_OF_DAY");
  
        // apply isDateBased()
        boolean isDateBasedAttribute
            = chronoField.isDateBased();
  
        // print
        System.out.println(
            "HOUR_OF_DAY"
            + " is Date based attribute:"
            + isDateBasedAttribute);
    }
}


Output:

HOUR_OF_DAY is Date based attribute:false

Program 2:




// Java program to demonstrate
// ChronoField.isDateBased() method
  
import java.time.temporal.ChronoField;
  
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        // get chronoField
        ChronoField chronoField
            = ChronoField.valueOf("YEAR_OF_ERA");
  
        // apply isDateBased()
        boolean isDateBasedAttribute
            = chronoField.isDateBased();
  
        // print
        System.out.println("YEAR_OF_ERA"
                           + " is Date based attribute:"
                           + isDateBasedAttribute);
    }
