? LocalDate & ⏰ LocalTime

? Quick Overview

LocalDate and LocalTime are part of the Java 8 java.time API. They represent date and time independently, without timezone information. These classes are immutable, thread-safe, and far superior to the old Date and Calendar.

? Key Concepts

• LocalDate → Date only (year, month, day)
• LocalTime → Time only (hour, minute, second)
• No timezone or offset involved
• Immutable and thread-safe
• Located in java.time package

? Syntax & Theory

These classes are created using static factory methods instead of constructors. Common methods include now(), of(), plusDays(), minusHours(), and getDayOfWeek().

// Importing LocalDate and LocalTime classes
import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.LocalTime;

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

// Getting current date
LocalDate today = LocalDate.now();

// Getting current time
LocalTime now = LocalTime.now();

System.out.println("Date: " + today);
System.out.println("Time: " + now);
}
}

? More Practical Usage

// Demonstrating date and time manipulation
LocalDate examDate = LocalDate.of(2025, 3, 10);
LocalTime examTime = LocalTime.of(10, 30);

// Adding days and hours
LocalDate newDate = examDate.plusDays(5);
LocalTime newTime = examTime.plusHours(2);

System.out.println(newDate);
System.out.println(newTime);
