public final class MinguoDate extends Object implements ChronoLocalDate, Serializable
This date operates using the Minguo calendar.
This calendar system is primarily used in the Republic of China, often known as Taiwan.
Dates are aligned such that 0001-01-01 (Minguo) is 1912-01-01 (ISO).
This is a value-based
class; use of identity-sensitive operations (including reference equality
(==), identity hash code, or synchronization) on instances of
MinguoDate may have unpredictable results and should be avoided.
The equals method should be used for comparisons.

MinguoDate 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.
public static MinguoDate now(ZoneId zone)
MinguoDate 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.
zone - the zone ID to use, not nullpublic static MinguoDate now(Clock clock)
MinguoDate 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.
clock - the clock to use, not nullDateTimeException - if the current date cannot be obtainedpublic static MinguoDate of(int prolepticYear, int month, int dayOfMonth)
MinguoDate representing a date in the Minguo calendar
system from the proleptic-year, month-of-year and day-of-month fields.
This returns a MinguoDate with the specified fields.
The day must be valid for the year and month, otherwise an exception will be thrown.
prolepticYear - the Minguo proleptic-yearmonth - the Minguo month-of-year, from 1 to 12dayOfMonth - the Minguo day-of-month, from 1 to 31DateTimeException - if the value of any field is out of range,
or if the day-of-month is invalid for the month-yearpublic static MinguoDate from(TemporalAccessor temporal)
MinguoDate from a temporal object.
This obtains a date in the Minguo calendar system based on the specified temporal.
A TemporalAccessor represents an arbitrary set of date and time information,
which this factory converts to an instance of MinguoDate.
The conversion typically uses the EPOCH_DAY
field, which is standardized across calendar systems.
This method matches the signature of the functional interface TemporalQuery
allowing it to be used as a query via method reference, MinguoDate::from.
from in interface ChronoLocalDatetemporal - the temporal object to convert, not nullDateTimeException - if unable to convert to a MinguoDateChronology.date(TemporalAccessor)public MinguoChronology getChronology()
The Chronology represents the calendar system in use.
The era and other fields in ChronoField are defined by the chronology.
getChronology in interface ChronoLocalDatepublic MinguoEra getEra()
The Minguo calendar system has two eras, 'ROC' and 'BEFORE_ROC',
defined by MinguoEra.
getEra in interface ChronoLocalDatepublic int lengthOfMonth()
This returns the length of the month in days. Month lengths match those of the ISO calendar system.
lengthOfMonth in interface ChronoLocalDatepublic ValueRange range(TemporalField field)
TemporalAccessor
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.
range in interface TemporalAccessorfield - the field to query the range for, not nullpublic long getLong(TemporalField field)
TemporalAccessorlong.
This queries the date-time for the value of the specified field. The returned value may be outside 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.
getLong in interface TemporalAccessorfield - the field to get, not nullpublic MinguoDate with(TemporalField field, long newValue)
ChronoLocalDate
This returns a new object based on this one with the value for the specified field changed.
For example, on a LocalDate, this could be used to set the year, month or day-of-month.
The returned object will have the same observable type as this object.
In some cases, changing a field is not fully defined. For example, if the target object is a date representing the 31st January, then changing the month to February would be unclear. In cases like this, the field is responsible for resolving the result. Typically it will choose the previous valid date, which would be the last valid day of February in this example.
with in interface ChronoLocalDatewith in interface Temporalfield - the field to set in the result, not nullnewValue - the new value of the field in the resultpublic MinguoDate with(TemporalAdjuster adjuster)
This adjusts this date-time according to the rules of the specified adjuster.
A simple adjuster might simply set the one of the fields, such as the year field.
A more complex adjuster might set the date to the last day of the month.
A selection of common adjustments is provided in
TemporalAdjusters.
These include finding the "last day of the month" and "next Wednesday".
The adjuster is responsible for handling special cases, such as the varying
lengths of month and leap years.
Some example code indicating how and why this method is used:
date = date.with(Month.JULY); // most key classes implement TemporalAdjuster date = date.with(lastDayOfMonth()); // static import from Adjusters date = date.with(next(WEDNESDAY)); // static import from Adjusters and DayOfWeek
with in interface ChronoLocalDatewith in interface Temporaladjuster - the adjuster to use, not nullDateTimeException - if unable to make the adjustmentArithmeticException - if numeric overflow occurspublic MinguoDate plus(TemporalAmount amount)
This adjusts this temporal, adding according to the rules of the specified amount.
The amount is typically a Period but may be any other type implementing
the TemporalAmount interface, such as Duration.
Some example code indicating how and why this method is used:
date = date.plus(period); // add a Period instance date = date.plus(duration); // add a Duration instance date = date.plus(workingDays(6)); // example user-written workingDays method
Note that calling plus followed by minus is not guaranteed to
return the same date-time.
plus in interface ChronoLocalDateplus in interface Temporalamount - the amount to add, not nullDateTimeException - if the addition cannot be madeArithmeticException - if numeric overflow occurspublic MinguoDate minus(TemporalAmount amount)
This adjusts this temporal, subtracting according to the rules of the specified amount.
The amount is typically a Period but may be any other type implementing
the TemporalAmount interface, such as Duration.
Some example code indicating how and why this method is used:
date = date.minus(period); // subtract a Period instance date = date.minus(duration); // subtract a Duration instance date = date.minus(workingDays(6)); // example user-written workingDays method
Note that calling plus followed by minus is not guaranteed to
return the same date-time.

ChronoLocalDate
This method returns a new object based on this one with the specified period added.
For example, on a LocalDate, this could be used to add a number of years, months or days.
The returned object will have the same observable type as this object.
In some cases, changing a field is not fully defined. For example, if the target object is a date representing the 31st January, then adding one month would be unclear. In cases like this, the field is responsible for resolving the result. Typically it will choose the previous valid date, which would be the last valid day of February in this example.

ChronoLocalDate
This method returns a new object based on this one with the specified period subtracted.
For example, on a LocalDate, this could be used to subtract a number of years, months or days.
The returned object will have the same observable type as this object.
In some cases, changing a field is not fully defined. For example, if the target object is a date representing the 31st March, then subtracting one month would be unclear. In cases like this, the field is responsible for resolving the result. Typically it will choose the previous valid date, which would be the last valid day of February in this example.

ChronoLocalDateChronoLocalDateTime.
This returns a ChronoLocalDateTime formed from this date at the specified time.
All possible combinations of date and time are valid.
atTime in interface ChronoLocalDatelocalTime - the local time to use, not nullpublic ChronoPeriod until(ChronoLocalDate endDate)
ChronoLocalDateChronoPeriod.
This calculates the period between two dates. All supplied chronologies
calculate the period using years, months and days, however the
ChronoPeriod API allows the period to be represented using other units.
The start and end points are this and the specified date.
The result will be negative if the end is before the start.
The negative sign will be the same in each of year, month and day.
The calculation is performed using the chronology of this date. If necessary, the input date will be converted to match.
This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.
until in interface ChronoLocalDateendDate - the end date, exclusive, which may be in any chronology, not nullpublic long toEpochDay()
ChronoLocalDate
The Epoch Day count is a simple
incrementing count of days where day 0 is 1970-01-01 (ISO).
This definition is the same for all chronologies, enabling conversion.
This default implementation queries the EPOCH_DAY field.
toEpochDay in interface ChronoLocalDatepublic boolean equals(Object obj)
Compares this MinguoDate with another ensuring that the date is the same.
Only objects of type MinguoDate are compared, other types return false.
To compare the dates of two TemporalAccessor instances, including dates
in two different chronologies, use ChronoField.EPOCH_DAY as a comparator.
equals in interface ChronoLocalDateobj - the object to check, null returns falseObject.hashCode(),
HashMappublic int hashCode()
hashCode in interface ChronoLocalDateObject.equals(java.lang.Object),
System.identityHashCode(java.lang.Object)public long until(Temporal endExclusive, TemporalUnit unit)
ChronoLocalDate
This calculates the amount of time between two ChronoLocalDate
objects in terms of a single TemporalUnit.
The start and end points are this and the specified date.
The result will be negative if the end is before the start.
The Temporal passed to this method is converted to a
ChronoLocalDate using Chronology.date(TemporalAccessor).
The calculation returns a whole number, representing the number of
complete units between the two dates.
For example, the amount in days between two dates can be calculated
using startDate.until(endDate, DAYS).
There are two equivalent ways of using this method.
The first is to invoke this method.
The second is to use TemporalUnit.between(Temporal, Temporal):
// these two lines are equivalent amount = start.until(end, MONTHS); amount = MONTHS.between(start, end);The choice should be made based on which makes the code more readable.
The calculation is implemented in this method for ChronoUnit.
The units DAYS, WEEKS, MONTHS, YEARS,
DECADES, CENTURIES, MILLENNIA and ERAS
should be supported by all implementations.
Other ChronoUnit values will throw an exception.
If the unit is not a ChronoUnit, then the result of this method
is obtained by invoking TemporalUnit.between(Temporal, Temporal)
passing this as the first argument and the converted input temporal as
the second argument.
This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

ObjecttoString method returns a string that
"textually represents" this object. The result should
be a concise but informative representation that is easy for a
person to read.
It is recommended that all subclasses override this method.
The toString method for class Object
returns a string consisting of the name of the class of which the
object is an instance, the at-sign character `@', and
the unsigned hexadecimal representation of the hash code of the
object. In other words, this method returns a string equal to the
value of:
getClass().getName() + '@' + Integer.toHexString(hashCode())
