How To Get Length Of Year Of LocalDate In Java?

To get the total days of any year, you can use the lenghtOfYear() method of the LocalDate class in Java.

The length of a year or total days in a year is the count of total days of the year.

For example, the length of the year 2020 is 366 which means it has 366 days. The length of a year varies based on the leap and non-leap years.

Let's see some running examples.

Get Total Days of a Year in Java

In the below example, we have a string date. So, first, we parsed it to the LocalDate object and then used the lengthOfYear() method to get the total days.

/* 
 *  Code example to find length of year of the local date in Java
 */
import java.time.LocalDate;
public class JExercise {
	public static void main(String[] args) {		

		// String  date is given
		String strDate = "2020-02-14";
		// parse the string date into locale date
		LocalDate date = LocalDate.parse(strDate);

		// Getting the length of year
		int length = date.lengthOfYear();
		System.out.println("Length of Year = "+length);
	}
}

Output:

Length of Year = 366
 

Now, let's see the method signature:

public int lengthOfYear()

Package Name: java.time;

Class Name: It belongs to the LocalDate class.

Return Value: It returns the length of the year in days.

Parameters: It does not take any parameters.

Version: Since 1.8

Let's see some more examples.

Find Total days in the Current Year in Java

To find the total days in the current year, you first need to use the now() method of the LocalDate class to get the current date.

After that use the lengthOfYear() method to get the total days of the current year. See the below Java code.

/* 
 *  Code example to find length of year of the local date in Java
 */
import java.time.LocalDate;
public class JExercise {
	public static void main(String[] args) {		

		// Current date
		LocalDate date = LocalDate.now();

		// Getting the length of year
		int length = date.lengthOfYear();
		System.out.println("Length of Year = "+length);
	}
}

Output:

Length of Year = 365
