All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<Month>, TemporalAccessor, TemporalAdjuster

public enum Month
extends Enum<Month>
implements TemporalAccessor, TemporalAdjuster

A month-of-year, such as 'July'.

Month is an enum representing the 12 months of the year - January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November and December.

In addition to the textual enum name, each month-of-year has an int value. The int value follows normal usage and the ISO-8601 standard, from 1 (January) to 12 (December). It is recommended that applications use the enum rather than the int value to ensure code clarity.

Do not use ordinal() to obtain the numeric representation of Month. Use getValue() instead.

This enum represents a common concept that is found in many calendar systems. As such, this enum may be used by any calendar system that has the month-of-year concept defined exactly equivalent to the ISO-8601 calendar system.

values

public static Month[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (Month c : Month.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static Month valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

of

public static Month of(int month)

Obtains an instance of Month from an int value.

Month is an enum representing the 12 months of the year. This factory allows the enum to be obtained from the int value. The int value follows the ISO-8601 standard, from 1 (January) to 12 (December).

Parameters:

month - the month-of-year to represent, from 1 (January) to 12 (December)

Returns:

the month-of-year, not null

Throws:

DateTimeException - if the month-of-year is invalid

from

public static Month from(TemporalAccessor temporal)

Obtains an instance of Month from a temporal object.

A TemporalAccessor represents some form of date and time information. This factory converts the arbitrary temporal object to an instance of Month.

The conversion extracts the MONTH_OF_YEAR field. The extraction is only permitted if the temporal object has an ISO chronology, or can be converted to a LocalDate.

This method matches the signature of the functional interface TemporalQuery allowing it to be used in queries via method reference, Month::from.

Parameters:

temporal - the temporal object to convert, not null

Returns:

the month-of-year, not null

Throws:

DateTimeException - if unable to convert to a Month

getValue

public int getValue()

Gets the month-of-year int value.

The values are numbered following the ISO-8601 standard, from 1 (January) to 12 (December).

Returns:

the month-of-year, from 1 (January) to 12 (December)

getDisplayName

public String getDisplayName(TextStyle style,
                             Locale locale)

Gets the textual representation, such as 'Jan' or 'December'.

This returns the textual name used to identify the month-of-year. The parameters control the length of the returned text and the locale.

If no textual mapping is found then the numeric value is returned.

Parameters:

style - the length of the text required, not null

locale - the locale to use, not null

Returns:

the text value of the month-of-year, not null

isSupported

public boolean isSupported(TemporalField field)

Checks if the specified field is supported.

This checks if this month-of-year can be queried for the specified field. If false, then calling the range and get methods will throw an exception.

If the field is MONTH_OF_YEAR then this method returns true. All other ChronoField instances will return false.

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

Specified by:

isSupported in interface TemporalAccessor

Parameters:

field - the field to check, null returns false

Returns:

true if the field is supported on this month-of-year, false if not

range

public ValueRange range(TemporalField field)

Gets the range of valid values for the specified field.

The range object expresses the minimum and maximum valid values for a field. This month is used to enhance the accuracy of the returned range. If it is not possible to return the range, because the field is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.

If the field is MONTH_OF_YEAR then the range of the month-of-year, from 1 to 12, will be returned. All other ChronoField instances will throw a DateTimeException.

If the field is not a ChronoField, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking TemporalField.rangeRefinedBy(TemporalAccessor) passing this as the argument. Whether the range can be obtained is determined by the field.

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

Throws:

DateTimeException - if the range for the field cannot be obtained

get

public int get(TemporalField field)

Gets the value of the specified field from this month-of-year as an int.

This queries this month for the value for the specified field. The returned value will always be within the valid range of values for the field. If it is not possible to return the value, because the field is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.

If the field is MONTH_OF_YEAR then the value of the month-of-year, from 1 to 12, will be returned. All other ChronoField instances will throw a DateTimeException.

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. Whether the value can be obtained, and what the value represents, is determined by the field.

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

Throws:

DateTimeException - if a value for the field cannot be obtained

DateTimeException - if the range of valid values for the field exceeds an int

DateTimeException - if the value is outside the range of valid values for the field

ArithmeticException - if numeric overflow occurs

getLong

public long getLong(TemporalField field)

Gets the value of the specified field from this month-of-year as a long.

This queries this month for the value for the specified field. If it is not possible to return the value, because the field is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.

If the field is MONTH_OF_YEAR then the value of the month-of-year, from 1 to 12, will be returned. All other ChronoField instances will throw a DateTimeException.

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. Whether the value can be obtained, and what the value represents, is determined by the field.

Specified by:

getLong in interface TemporalAccessor

Parameters:

field - the field to get, not null

Returns:

the value for the field

Throws:

DateTimeException - if a value for the field cannot be obtained

ArithmeticException - if numeric overflow occurs

plus

public Month plus(long months)

February has a maximum length of 29 days. April, June, September and November have 30 days. All other months have 31 days.

Returns:

the maximum length of this month in days, from 29 to 31

firstDayOfYear

public int firstDayOfYear(boolean leapYear)

Gets the day-of-year corresponding to the first day of this month.

This returns the day-of-year that this month begins on, using the leap year flag to determine the length of February.

Parameters:

leapYear - true if the length is required for a leap year

Returns:

the day of year corresponding to the first day of this month, from 1 to 336

firstMonthOfQuarter

public Month firstMonthOfQuarter()

The year can be divided into four quarters. This method returns the first month of the quarter for the base month. January, February and March return January. April, May and June return April. July, August and September return July. October, November and December return October.

Returns:

the first month of the quarter corresponding to this month, not null

query

public <R> R query(TemporalQuery<R> query)

Queries this month-of-year using the specified query.

This queries this month-of-year using the specified query strategy object. The TemporalQuery object defines the logic to be used to obtain the result. Read the documentation of the query to understand what the result of this method will be.

The result of this method is obtained by invoking the TemporalQuery.queryFrom(TemporalAccessor) method on the specified query passing this as the argument.

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)

Throws:

DateTimeException - if unable to query (defined by the query)

ArithmeticException - if numeric overflow occurs (defined by the query)

adjustInto

public Temporal adjustInto(Temporal temporal)

Adjusts the specified temporal object to have this month-of-year.

This returns a temporal object of the same observable type as the input with the month-of-year changed to be the same as this.

The adjustment is equivalent to using Temporal.with(TemporalField, long) passing ChronoField.MONTH_OF_YEAR as the field. If the specified temporal object does not use the ISO calendar system then a DateTimeException is thrown.

In most cases, it is clearer to reverse the calling pattern by using Temporal.with(TemporalAdjuster):

   // these two lines are equivalent, but the second approach is recommended
   temporal = thisMonth.adjustInto(temporal);
   temporal = temporal.with(thisMonth);
 

For example, given a date in May, the following are output:

   dateInMay.with(JANUARY);    // four months earlier
   dateInMay.with(APRIL);      // one months earlier
   dateInMay.with(MAY);        // same date
   dateInMay.with(JUNE);       // one month later
   dateInMay.with(DECEMBER);   // seven months later
 

This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

Specified by:

adjustInto in interface TemporalAdjuster

Parameters:

temporal - the target object to be adjusted, not null

Returns:

the adjusted object, not null

Throws:

DateTimeException - if unable to make the adjustment

ArithmeticException - if numeric overflow occurs
