Example 1:

Java

// Java program to demonstrate
// date() method

import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.time.*;
import java.time.chrono.*;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
        try {
            // creating and initializing
            // MinguoDate Object
            MinguoDate hidate = MinguoDate.now();

            // getting MinguoChronology
            // used in MinguoDate
            MinguoChronology crono
                = hidate.getChronology();

            // getting MinguoDate for the
            // given date, month and year field
            // by using date() method
            MinguoDate date = crono.date(2040, 05, 24);

            // display the result
            System.out.println("MinguoDate is: " + date);
        }
        catch (DateTimeException e) {
            System.out.println("passed parameter can "
                               + "not form a date");
            System.out.println("Exception thrown: " + e);
        }
    }
}

Output:

MinguoDate is: Minguo ROC 2040-05-24

Example 2:

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

            // MinguoDate Object
            MinguoDate hidate = MinguoDate.now();

            // getting MinguoChronology
            // used in MinguoDate
            MinguoChronology crono
                = hidate.getChronology();

            // getting MinguoDate for the
            // given date, month and year field
            // by using date() method
            MinguoDate date
                = crono.date(2040, 05, -24);

            // display the result
            System.out.println("MinguoDate is: "
                               + date);
        }
        catch (DateTimeException e) {
            System.out.println("passed parameter can "
                               + "not form a date");
            System.out.println("Exception thrown: " + e);
