Parameters: This method does not accepts any parameters.

Return value: This method returns String which is the representation of this date, not null.

Below programs illustrate the toString() method:

Program 1:

// Java program to demonstrate
// LocalDate.toString() method

import java.time.*;

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

        // create a LocalDate object
        LocalDate localD
            = LocalDate.parse("2018-12-06");

        // print LocalDate
        System.out.println("LocalDate: "
                           + localD.toString());
    }
}

Output:

LocalDate: 2018-12-06

Program 2:

// Java program to demonstrate
// LocalDate.toString() method

import java.time.*;

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

        // create a LocalDate object
        LocalDate localD
            = LocalDate.parse("2021-06-30");

        // print LocalDate
        System.out.println("LocalDate: "
                           + localD.toString());
    }
}
