Java Add Months To Date

Chapter: Date and Time Last Updated: 14-05-2023 05:44:50 UTC

Program:

            /* ............... START ............... */
                
import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter;

public class DateExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Get the current date
        LocalDate currentDate = LocalDate.now();
        System.out.println("Current date: " + formatDate(currentDate));

        // Add 3 months to the current date
        LocalDate futureDate = currentDate.plusMonths(3);
        System.out.println("Date after adding 3 months: " + formatDate(futureDate));
    }

    private static String formatDate(LocalDate date) {
        DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy-MM-dd");
        return date.format(formatter);
    }
}

                /* ............... END ............... */
        

Output

Current date: 2023-05-14
Date after adding 3 months: 2023-08-14

Notes:

• In this example, we start by obtaining the current date using LocalDate.now(). We then add 3 months to the current date using the plusMonths() method. Finally, we format the dates using the DateTimeFormatter to display them in the desired format ("yyyy-MM-dd").
• When you run this code, it will output the current date and the date after adding 3 months.
• The formatDate() method takes a LocalDate object and formats it into a string representation using the specified date format ("yyyy-MM-dd"). This method uses the DateTimeFormatter class to format the date.
