The java.time.LocalDateTime class is an immutable date-time class that represents a date-time with the default format as yyyy-MM-dd-HH-mm-ss.zzz. This class does not store or represent a time-zone. Instead, it is a description of the date, as used for birthdays, combined with the local time as seen on a wall clock. It cannot represent an instant on the time-line without additional information such as an offset or time-zone.
Java LocalDateTime class methods
| Method |
Description |
| String format(DateTimeFormatter formatter) |
It is used to format this date-time using the specified formatter. |
| int get(TemporalField field) |
It is used to get the value of the specified field from this date-time as an int. |
| LocalDateTime minusDays(long days) |
It is used to return a copy of this LocalDateTime with the specified number of days subtracted. |
| static LocalDateTime now() |
It is used to obtain the current date-time from the system clock in the default time-zone. |
| static LocalDateTime of(LocalDate date, LocalTime time) |
It is used to obtain an instance of LocalDateTime from a date and time. |
| LocalDateTime plusDays(long days) |
It is used to return a copy of this LocalDateTime with the specified number of days added. |
| boolean equals(Object obj) |
It is used to check if this date-time is equal to another date-time. |

//Get different values

//Minus days
LocalDateTime dateTime2 = LocalDateTime.of(2018, 2, 23, 22, 46);

System.out.println("After Formatting: " + formatDateTime );
//Plus days
LocalDateTime dateTime4 = LocalDateTime.of(2018, 5, 23, 22, 46);
LocalDateTime dateTime5 = dateTime4.plusDays(100);
System.out.println("Before Formatting: " + dateTime5);
formatDateTime = dateTime5.format(format);
