Formats this date with the provided DateTimeFormatter pattern.
pattern -  the formatting patternFormats this date in the provided, localized FormatStyle.
dateStyle -  the FormatStyleFormats this date with the DateTimeFormatter#ISO_LOCAL_DATE formatter.
Returns a LocalDateTime from this date and the provided LocalTime.
time -  a LocalTimeReturns a OffsetDateTime from this date and the provided OffsetTime.
time -  an OffsetTimeCalculates the number of days between two dates
other -  the other LocalDateReturns a LocalDate that is days days before this date.
days -  the number of days to subtractReturns a LocalDate one day after this date.
Parse text into a LocalDate using the provided pattern. Note: the order of parameters differs from versions of this method for the legacy Date class.
text -     String to be parsed to create the date instancepattern -  pattern used to parse the textReturns a LocalDate that is days days after this date.
days -  the number of days to addReturns a LocalDate one day before this date.
Returns a Period equivalent to the time between this date (inclusive) and the provided LocalDate (exclusive).
other -  another LocalDateReturns an equivalent instance of Calendar. The time portion of the returned calendar is cleared and the time zone is the current system default.
