public final class DiscordianChronology extends AbstractChronology implements Serializable
The Discordian calendar system.

This chronology defines the rules of the proleptic Discordian calendar system. The Discordian differs from the Gregorian in terms of month and week lengths, with an offset year. Dates are aligned such that each Discordian year starts with each ISO year, with an offset index.

This class is not proleptic. It implements Discordian rules only since YOLD 1 (ISO BCE 1166).

The fields are defined as follows:

  • era - There is one era, the current 'Year of Our Lady of Discord' (YOLD).
  • year-of-era - The year-of-era for the current era increases uniformly from the epoch at year one.
  • proleptic-year - The proleptic year is the same as the year-of-era for the current era.
  • month-of-year - There are 5 months in a Discordian year, numbered from 1 to 5.
  • day-of-week - There are 5 days in a Discordian week, numbered from 1 to 5.
  • day-of-month - There are 73 days in each Discordian month, numbered from 1 to 73.
  • day-of-year - There are 365 days in a standard Discordian year and 366 in a leap year. The days are numbered from 1 to 365 or 1 to 366.
  • leap-year - Leap years occur in sync with ISO leap-years; that is, they occur every 4 ISO years, excepting when that ISO year is divisible by 100 but not 400.
  • St. Tib's Day - St. Tib's Day occurs each leap-year, and is inserted between the 59th and 60th day of the first month. St. Tib's Day is not part of any month, nor is it part of the Discordian week. It is aligned with the ISO calendar leap-day (February 29th).

  • Method Details

    • getId

      public String getId()
      Gets the ID of the chronology - 'Discordian'.

      The ID uniquely identifies the Chronology. It can be used to lookup the Chronology using Chronology.of(String).

      Specified by:
      getId in interface Chronology
      Returns:
      the chronology ID - 'Discordian'

    • getCalendarType

      public String getCalendarType()
      Gets the calendar type of the underlying calendar system - 'discordian'.

      The Unicode Locale Data Markup Language (LDML) specification does not define an identifier for the Discordian calendar, but were it to do so, 'discordian' is highly likely to be chosen.

      Specified by:
      getCalendarType in interface Chronology
      Returns:
      the calendar system type - 'discordian'

    • dateNow

      public DiscordianDate dateNow()
      Obtains the current Discordian local date from the system clock in the default time-zone.

      This will query the system clock in the default time-zone to obtain the current date.

      Using this method will prevent the ability to use an alternate clock for testing because the clock is hard-coded.

      Specified by:
      dateNow in interface Chronology

      Obtains the current Discordian local date from the system clock in the specified time-zone.

      This will query the system clock to obtain the current date. Specifying the time-zone avoids dependence on the default time-zone.

      Using this method will prevent the ability to use an alternate clock for testing because the clock is hard-coded.

      Specified by:
      dateNow in interface Chronology
      Parameters:
      zone - the zone ID to use, not null
      Returns:
      the current Discordian local date using the system clock, not null
      Throws:

    • dateNow

      public DiscordianDate dateNow(Clock clock)
      Obtains the current Discordian local date from the specified clock.

      This will query the specified clock to obtain the current date - today. Using this method allows the use of an alternate clock for testing. The alternate clock may be introduced using dependency injection.

      Specified by:
      dateNow in interface Chronology
      Parameters:
      clock - the clock to use, not null
      Returns:
      the current Discordian local date, not null

    • isLeapYear

      public boolean isLeapYear(long prolepticYear)
      Checks if the specified year is a leap year.

      A Discordian proleptic-year is leap if the remainder after division by four equals zero. There are two special cases. If the year minus 1166 is divisible by 100 it is not a leap year, unless it is also divisible by 400, when it is a leap year. These rules produce leap days on the same dates as the ISO-8601 calendar system.

      Specified by:
      isLeapYear in interface Chronology
      Parameters:
      prolepticYear - the proleptic-year to check, not validated for range
      Returns:
      true if the year is a leap year
