In LocalDate class, there are two types of parse() method depending upon the parameters passed to it.
parse(CharSequence text)
parse() method of a LocalDate class used to get an instance of LocalDate from a string such as ‘2018-10-23’ passed as parameter.The string must have a valid date-time and is parsed using DateTimeFormatter.ISO_LOCAL_DATE.
Syntax:
public static LocalDate parse(CharSequence text)
Parameters: This method accepts only one parameter text which is the text to parse in LocalDate. It should not be null.
Return value: This method returns LocalDate which is the parsed local date-time.
Exception: This method throws DateTimeParseException if the text cannot be parsed.
Below programs illustrate the parse() method:
Program 1:
Java
import java.time.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
LocalDate lt
= LocalDate.parse(" 2018 - 12 - 27 ");
System.out.println("LocalDate : "
+ lt);
}
}
