Below programs illustrate the get() method of LocalDate in Java:
Program 1:

// Program to illustrate the get() method

import java.util.*;
import java.time.*;
import java.time.temporal.ChronoField;

public class GfG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        LocalDate dt = LocalDate.parse("2017-02-16");
        System.out.println(dt.get(ChronoField.MONTH_OF_YEAR));
    }
}

Output:

2

Program 2:

// Program to illustrate the get() method
// Exception Program

import java.util.*;
import java.time.*;
import java.time.temporal.ChronoField;

public class GfG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        try {
            LocalDate dt = LocalDate.parse("2017-02-30");
            System.out.println(dt.get(ChronoField.MONTH_OF_YEAR));
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println(e);
        }
    }
}

Output:

java.time.format.DateTimeParseException: 
Text '2017-02-30' could not be parsed: Invalid date 'FEBRUARY 30'
