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 
            // JapaneseDate Object 
            // By using of() method 
            JapaneseDate hidate 
                = JapaneseDate.of(2008, 04, 24); 
  
            // Display the result 
            System.out.println("JapaneseDate: "
                               + hidate); 
        } 
        catch (DateTimeException e) { 
            System.out.println("passed parameter can"
                               + " not form a date"); 
            System.out.println("Exception thrown: "
                               + e); 
        } 
    }

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 
            // JapaneseDate Object 
            // By using of() method 
            JapaneseDate hidate 
                = JapaneseDate.of(1444, 04, 24); 
  
            // Display the result 
            System.out.println("JapaneseDate: "
                               + hidate); 
        } 
        catch (DateTimeException e) { 
            System.out.println("passed parameter can"
                               + " not form a date");
