Parameters: This method does not accepts any parameters.

Return value: This method returns String which is the representation of this date, not null.

Below programs illustrate the toString() method:

// Java program to demonstrate
// LocalDate.toString() method
  
import java.time.*;
  
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        // create a LocalDate object
        LocalDate localD
            = LocalDate.parse("2018-12-06");
  
        // print LocalDate
        System.out.println("LocalDate: "
                           + localD.toString());
    }
}


Output:

LocalDate: 2018-12-06

Program 2:




// Java program to demonstrate
// LocalDate.toString() method
  
import java.time.*;
  
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        // create a LocalDate object
        LocalDate localD
            = LocalDate.parse("2021-06-30");
  
        // print LocalDate
        System.out.println("LocalDate: "
