LocalDateTime getDayOfWeek() method in Java

The day of the week for a particular LocalDateTime can be obtained using the getDayOfWeek() method in the LocalDateTime class in Java. This method requires no parameters and it returns the day of the week.

A program that demonstrates this is given as follows −

Example

 Live Demo

import java.time.*; public class Demo { public static void main(String[] args) { LocalDateTime ldt = LocalDateTime.parse("2019-02-18T11:30:15"); System.out.println("The LocalDateTime is: " + ldt); System.out.println("The day of the week is: " + ldt.getDayOfWeek()); } }

Output

The LocalDateTime is: 2019-02-18T11:30:15 The day of the week is: MONDAY

Now let us understand the above program.

First the LocalDateTime is displayed. Then the day of the week for the LocalDateTime is displayed using the getDayOfWeek() method. A code snippet that demonstrates this is as follows −

LocalDateTime ldt = LocalDateTime.parse("2019-02-18T11:30:15"); System.out.println("The LocalDateTime is: " + ldt); System.out.println("The day of the week is: " + ldt.getDayOfWeek());
