Solution
Invoke the LocalDate.of() method for the year, month, and day for which you
want to obtain the object. For example, suppose that you want to obtain a date object
for a specified date in November of 2000. You could pass that date criteria to the
LocalDate.of() method, as demonstrated in the following lines of code:
LocalDate date = LocalDate.of(2000, Month.NOVEMBER, 11);
System.out.println("Date from specified date: " + date);
Here's the result:
Date from specified date: 2000-11-11
How It Works
The LocalDate.of() method accepts three values as parameters. Those parameters
represent the year, month, and day. The year parameter is always treated as an int
value. The month parameter can be presented as an int value, which uses an enum
that represents the month. The Month enum will return an int value for each month,
with JANUARY returning a 1 and DECEMBER returning a 12 . Therefore,
Month.NOVEMBER returns an 11 . A Month object could also be passed as the
second parameter instead of as an int value. Lastly, the day of the month is specified
by passing an int value as the third parameter to the of() method.
Note For more information regarding the Month enum, see the online documenta-
tion at http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/time/
