LocalDateTime toString() method in Java with Examples

The toString() method of LocalDateTime class is used to get the String representation of this LocalDateTime. This method is derived from the Object Class and behaves in the similar way.

Syntax:

public String toString()

Parameter: This method takes no parameters.

Returns: This method returns a String value which is the String representation of this LocalDateTime.

Below programs illustrate the LocalDateTime.toString() method:

Program 1:

// Program to illustrate the toString() method

import java.util.*;
import java.time.*;

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

        // Get the LocalDateTime instance
        LocalDateTime dt = LocalDateTime.now();

        // Get the String representation of this LocalDateTime
        // using toString() method
        System.out.println(dt.toString());
    }
}

Output:

2018-11-30T10:16:26.939

Program 2:

// Program to illustrate the toString() method

import java.util.*;
import java.time.*;

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

        // Get the LocalDateTime instance
        LocalDateTime dt
            = LocalDateTime
                  .parse("2018-11-03T12:45:30");

        // Get the String representation of this LocalDateTime
        // using toString() method
        System.out.println(dt.toString());
    }
}

Output:

2018-11-03T12:45:30
