We would like to know how to create LocalDate in various ways.

import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.Month;
/*  w w w .j  a v  a  2  s . c o m*/
public class Main {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    // the current date
    LocalDate currentDate = LocalDate.now();
    System.out.println(currentDate);

    // 2014-02-10
    LocalDate tenthFeb2014 = LocalDate.of(2014, Month.FEBRUARY, 10);
    System.out.println(tenthFeb2014); // 2014-02-10

    // months values start at 1 (2014-08-01)
    LocalDate firstAug2014 = LocalDate.of(2014, 8, 1);
    System.out.println(firstAug2014); // 2014-08-01

    // the 65th day of 2010 (2010-03-06)
    LocalDate sixtyFifthDayOf2010 = LocalDate.ofYearDay(2010, 65);
    System.out.println(sixtyFifthDayOf2010); // 2014-03-06
  }
}

The code above generates the following result.
