    • Method Detail

      • range

        public ValueRange range​(TemporalField field)
        Description copied from interface: TemporalAccessor
        Gets the range of valid values for the specified field.

        All fields can be expressed as a long integer. This method returns an object that describes the valid range for that value. The value of this temporal object is used to enhance the accuracy of the returned range. If the date-time cannot return the range, because the field is unsupported or for some other reason, an exception will be thrown.

        Note that the result only describes the minimum and maximum valid values and it is important not to read too much into them. For example, there could be values within the range that are invalid for the field.

        Specification for implementors

        Implementations must check and handle all fields defined in ChronoField. If the field is supported, then the range of the field must be returned. If unsupported, then a DateTimeException must be thrown.

        If the field is not a ChronoField, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking TemporalField.rangeRefinedBy(TemporalAccessorl) passing this as the argument.

        Implementations must not alter either this object.

        Specified by:
        range in interface TemporalAccessor
        Parameters:
        field - the field to query the range for, not null
        Returns:
        the range of valid values for the field, not null
      • get

        public int get​(TemporalField field)
        Description copied from interface: TemporalAccessor
        Gets the value of the specified field as an int.

        This queries the date-time for the value for the specified field. The returned value will always be within the valid range of values for the field. If the date-time cannot return the value, because the field is unsupported or for some other reason, an exception will be thrown.

        Specification for implementors

        Implementations must check and handle all fields defined in ChronoField. If the field is supported and has an int range, then the value of the field must be returned. If unsupported, then a DateTimeException must be thrown.

        If the field is not a ChronoField, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking TemporalField.getFrom(TemporalAccessor) passing this as the argument.

        Implementations must not alter either this object.

        Specified by:
        get in interface TemporalAccessor
        Parameters:
        field - the field to get, not null
        Returns:
        the value for the field, within the valid range of values
      • query

        public <R> R query​(TemporalQuery<R> query)
        Description copied from interface: TemporalAccessor
        Queries this date-time.

        This queries this date-time using the specified query strategy object.

        Queries are a key tool for extracting information from date-times. They exists to externalize the process of querying, permitting different approaches, as per the strategy design pattern. Examples might be a query that checks if the date is the day before February 29th in a leap year, or calculates the number of days to your next birthday.

        The most common query implementations are method references, such as LocalDate::from and ZoneId::from. Further implementations are on TemporalQueries. Queries may also be defined by applications.

        Specification for implementors

        Implementations of this method must behave as follows:
           public <R> R query(TemporalQuery<R> type) {
             // only include an if statement if the implementation can return it
             if (query == TemporalQueries.zoneId())  return // the ZoneId
             if (query == TemporalQueries.chronology())  return // the Chrono
             if (query == TemporalQueries.precision())  return // the precision
             // call default method
             return super.query(query);
           }
         
        Specified by:
        query in interface TemporalAccessor
        Type Parameters:
        R - the type of the result
        Parameters:
        query - the query to invoke, not null
        Returns:
        the query result, null may be returned (defined by the query)
