The previous(DayOfWeek) method of a TemporalAdjusters class is used to return a previous DayOfWeek TemporalAdjuster object which can be used to get a new Date object which is the previous date with the same matching DayOfWeek as passed as a parameter from any Date object on which this TemporalAdjuster is applied. Syntax:
public static TemporalAdjuster previous(DayOfWeek dayOfWeek)
Parameters: This method accepts dayOfWeek which can be used to get a new Date object which is the previous date with the same matching DayOfWeek. Return value: This method returns the previous day of the week adjuster. Below programs illustrate the TemporalAdjusters.previous() method: Program 1:
Java
import java.time.*;
import java.time.temporal.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
TemporalAdjuster temporalAdjuster
= TemporalAdjusters.previous(
DayOfWeek.WEDNESDAY);
LocalDate localDate
= LocalDate.of( 1998 , 10 , 31 );
LocalDate previousDOW
= localDate.with(temporalAdjuster);
System.out.println(
"Previous day of the week "
+ "having WEDNESDAY for localdate "
+ localDate + " is: "
+ previousDOW);
}
}
|
Output:
Previous day of the week having WEDNESDAY for localdate 1998-10-31 is: 1998-10-28
Program 2:
Java
import java.time.*;
import java.time.temporal.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
TemporalAdjuster temporalAdjuster
= TemporalAdjusters.previous(
DayOfWeek.THURSDAY);
LocalDate localDate
= LocalDate.of( 2029 , 12 , 11 );
LocalDate previousDOW
= localDate.with(temporalAdjuster);
System.out.println(
"previous day of the week "
+ "having THURSDAY for localdate "
+ localDate + " is: "

}
}
|
