MinguoDate now() method in Java with Example

The now() method of java.time.chrono.MinguoDate class is used to get the current Minguo date according to the Minguo calendar system from the specified clock.

Syntax:

public static MinguoDate now(Clock clock)

Parameter: This method takes the object of the clock on the basis of which Minguo date is going to be formed.

Return Value: This method returns the current Minguo date according to the Minguo calendar system from the specified clock.

Below are the examples to illustrate the now() method:

Example 1:

Java

// Java program to demonstrate now() method

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

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
        try {
            // Creating and initializing clock
            Clock clock = Clock.systemUTC();

            // Creating and initializing
            // MinguoDate Object
            MinguoDate hidate
                = MinguoDate.now(clock);

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

Output:

MinguoDate: Minguo ROC 109-04-24

Example 2:

Java

// Java program to demonstrate now() method

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

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
        try {
            // Creating and initializing clock
            Clock clock = Clock.systemDefaultZone();

            // Creating and initializing
            // MinguoDate Object
            MinguoDate hidate
                = MinguoDate.now(clock);

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

Output:

MinguoDate: Minguo ROC 109-04-24
