In this topic, we will explore easily and interestingly how to find the number of days in a given month in Java.
We can use the `YearMonth` class from the `java.time` package. Here’s a step-by-step explanation:
1. Choose a Month: Select the month for which you want to find the number of days.
Example: Let’s find the number of days in February 2024.
2. Use YearMonth Class: Instantiate a `YearMonth` object with the year and month for which you want to find the days.
Program:
import java.time.YearMonth; import java.time.Month; public class DaysInMonthExample { public static void main(String[] args) { int year = 2024; Month month = Month.FEBRUARY; YearMonth yearMonth = YearMonth.of(year, month); int daysInMonth = yearMonth.lengthOfMonth(); System.out.println("Number of days in " + month + " " + year + " is: " + daysInMonth); } }
In this example:
- We set `year` to 2024 and `month` to `Month.FEBRUARY`
- `YearMonth.of(year, month)` creates a `YearMonth` object representing February 2024
- `.lengthOfMonth()` method on `YearMonth` calculates and returns the number of days in that month.
3. Output: Print or use `daysInMonth`, which now holds the number of days in February 2024.
Explanation:
YearMonth: Represents a year and month, allowing you to easily query properties of that month, such as the number of days.
lengthOfMonth(): Method provided by `YearMonth` class that gives the number of days in the represented month.
Output:
Number of days in FEBRUARY 2024 is: 29
By following these steps, you can accurately determine the number of days in any given month in Java. Adjust the `year` and `month` variables as needed to find the days for different months and years.
