LocalDate.pare

se() method in Java

The `LocalDate.parse()` method in Java is used to parse a string representation of a date in the ISO-8601 format into a LocalDate object. The ISO-8601 format is in the form of "yyyy-MM-dd", where "yyyy" is the year, "MM" is the month, and "dd" is the day.

Syntax:

public static LocalDate parse(CharSequence text)

Parameters:

- `text` - a string representation of a date in the ISO-8601 format

Return Value:

- a LocalDate object representing the parsed date

Example:

String dateString = "2021-08-31";
LocalDate date = LocalDate.parse(dateString);
System.out.println(date); // Output: 2021-08-31

In the above example, the `parse()` method is used to parse the string "2021-08-31" into a LocalDate object. The `println()` method is then used to print the parsed date.
