Java Programming for Complete Beginners - Java 16 - Step 12 - Java Dates - Exploring LocalDate - Creation and Methods to

The video tutorial introduces the Java LocalDate class, explaining how to use it to get the current date and extract specific date information such as year, month, and day. It covers methods to check if a year is a leap year and to determine the length of a year or month. The tutorial also demonstrates how to perform date arithmetic by adding or subtracting days, months, and years, emphasizing the immutability of the LocalDate class. Additionally, it explores the LocalDateTime class, highlighting its ability to handle time components like hours, minutes, and seconds.
