Below are the examples to illustrate the of() method:

Example 1:

Java

// Java program to demonstrate of() method

import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.time.*;
import java.time.chrono.*;
import java.time.temporal.*;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
        try {

            // Creating and initializing
            // HijrahDate Object
            // By using of() method
            HijrahDate hidate
                = HijrahDate.of(1444, 04, 24);

            // Display the result
            System.out.println("HijrahDate: "
                               + hidate);
        }
        catch (DateTimeException e) {
            System.out.println("passed parameter can"
                               + " not form a date");
            System.out.println("Exception thrown: "
                               + e);
        }
    }
}

Output:

HijrahDate: Hijrah-umalqura AH 1444-04-24

Example 2:

Java

// Java program to demonstrate of() method

import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.time.*;
import java.time.chrono.*;
import java.time.temporal.*;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
        try {

            // Creating and initializing
            // HijrahDate Object
            // By using of() method
            HijrahDate hidate
                = HijrahDate.of(2014, 04, 24);

            // Display the result
            System.out.println("HijrahDate: "
                               + hidate);
        }
        catch (DateTimeException e) {
            System.out.println("passed parameter can"
                               + " not form a date");
            System.out.println("Exception thrown: "
                               + e);
        }
    }
}

Output:

passed parameter can not form a date
Exception thrown: java.time.DateTimeException:
                  Invalid Hijrah date,
                  year: 2014, month: 4
