All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<MonthDay>, TemporalAccessor, TemporalAdjuster
```
public final class MonthDay
extends DefaultInterfaceTemporalAccessor
implements TemporalAccessor, TemporalAdjuster, Comparable<MonthDay>, Serializable
```
A month-day in the ISO-8601 calendar system, such as --12-03.
MonthDay is an immutable date-time object that represents the combination of a year and month. Any field that can be derived from a month and day, such as quarter-of-year, can be obtained.
This class does not store or represent a year, time or time-zone. For example, the value "December 3rd" can be stored in a MonthDay.
Since a MonthDay does not possess a year, the leap day of February 29th is considered valid.
This class implements TemporalAccessor rather than Temporal. This is because it is not possible to define whether February 29th is valid or not without external information, preventing the implementation of plus/minus. Related to this, MonthDay only provides access to query and set the fields MONTH_OF_YEAR and DAY_OF_MONTH.
The ISO-8601 calendar system is the modern civil calendar system used today in most of the world. It is equivalent to the proleptic Gregorian calendar system, in which todays's rules for leap years are applied for all time. For most applications written today, the ISO-8601 rules are entirely suitable. Any application that uses historical dates should consider using HistoricDate.
Specification for implementors
This class is immutable and thread-safe.

- Method Detail
  - now
```
public static MonthDay now()
```
    Obtains the current month-day from the system clock in the default time-zone.
    This will query the system clock in the default time-zone to obtain the current month-day.
    Using this method will prevent the ability to use an alternate clock for testing because the clock is hard-coded.
    
    Returns:
    the current month-day using the system clock and default time-zone, not null
  - now
```
public static MonthDay now(ZoneId zone)
```
    Obtains the current month-day from the system clock in the specified time-zone.
    This will query the system clock to obtain the current month-day. Specifying the time-zone avoids dependence on the default time-zone.
    Using this method will prevent the ability to use an alternate clock for testing because the clock is hard-coded.
    
    Parameters:
    zone - the zone ID to use, not null
    
    Returns:
    the current month-day using the system clock, not null
  - now
```
public static MonthDay now(Clock clock)
```
    Obtains the current month-day from the specified clock.
    This will query the specified clock to obtain the current month-day. Using this method allows the use of an alternate clock for testing. The alternate clock may be introduced using dependency injection.
    
    Parameters:
    clock - the clock to use, not null
    
    Returns:
    the current month-day, not null
  - of
```
public static MonthDay of(Month month,
          int dayOfMonth)
```
    Obtains an instance of MonthDay.
    The day-of-month must be valid for the month within a leap year. Hence, for February, day 29 is valid.
    For example, passing in April and day 31 will throw an exception, as there can never be April 31st in any year. By contrast, passing in February 29th is permitted, as that month-day can sometimes be valid.
    
    Parameters:
    month - the month-of-year to represent, not null
    dayOfMonth - the day-of-month to represent, from 1 to 31
    
    Returns:
    the month-day, not null
    
    Throws:
    
    DateTimeException - if the value of any field is out of range
    
    DateTimeException - if the day-of-month is invalid for the month
  - of
```
public static MonthDay of(int month,
          int dayOfMonth)
```
    Obtains an instance of MonthDay.
    The day-of-month must be valid for the month within a leap year. Hence, for month 2 (February), day 29 is valid.
    For example, passing in month 4 (April) and day 31 will throw an exception, as there can never be April 31st in any year. By contrast, passing in February 29th is permitted, as that month-day can sometimes be valid.
    
    Parameters:
    month - the month-of-year to represent, from 1 (January) to 12 (December)
    dayOfMonth - the day-of-month to represent, from 1 to 31
    
    Returns:
    the month-day, not null
    
    Throws:
    
    DateTimeException - if the value of any field is out of range
    
    DateTimeException - if the day-of-month is invalid for the month
  - from
```
public static MonthDay from(TemporalAccessor temporal)
```
    Obtains an instance of MonthDay from a temporal object.
    A TemporalAccessor represents some form of date and time information. This factory converts the arbitrary temporal object to an instance of MonthDay.
    The conversion extracts the MONTH_OF_YEAR and DAY_OF_MONTH fields. The extraction is only permitted if the date-time has an ISO chronology.
    This method matches the signature of the functional interface TemporalQuery allowing it to be used in queries via method reference, MonthDay::from.
    
    Parameters:
    temporal - the temporal object to convert, not null
    
    Returns:
    the month-day, not null
    
    Throws:
    
    DateTimeException - if unable to convert to a MonthDay
  - parse
```
public static MonthDay parse(CharSequence text)
```
    Obtains an instance of MonthDay from a text string such as --12-03.
    The string must represent a valid month-day. The format is --MM-dd.
    
    Parameters:
    text - the text to parse such as "--12-03", not null
    
    Returns:
    the parsed month-day, not null
    
    Throws:
    
    DateTimeParseException - if the text cannot be parsed
  - parse
```
public static MonthDay parse(CharSequence text,
             DateTimeFormatter formatter)
```
    Obtains an instance of MonthDay from a text string using a specific formatter.
    The text is parsed using the formatter, returning a month-day.
    
    Parameters:
    text - the text to parse, not null
    formatter - the formatter to use, not null
    
    Returns:
    the parsed month-day, not null
    
    Throws:
    
    DateTimeParseException - if the text cannot be parsed
  - isSupported
```
public boolean isSupported(TemporalField field)
```
    Checks if the specified field is supported.
    This checks if this month-day can be queried for the specified field. If false, then calling the range and get methods will throw an exception.
    If the field is a ChronoField then the query is implemented here. The supported fields will return valid values based on this date-time. The supported fields are:
    - MONTH_OF_YEAR
    - YEAR
    All other ChronoField instances will return false.
    If the field is not a ChronoField, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking TemporalField.doIsSupported(TemporalAccessor) passing this as the argument. Whether the field is supported is determined by the field.
    Specified by:
    
    isSupported in interface TemporalAccessor
    
    Parameters:
    field - the field to check, null returns false
    
    Returns:
    true if the field is supported on this month-day, false if not
  - range
```
public ValueRange range(TemporalField field)
```
    Gets the range of valid values for the specified field.
    The range object expresses the minimum and maximum valid values for a field. This month-day is used to enhance the accuracy of the returned range. If it is not possible to return the range, because the field is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.
    If the field is a ChronoField then the query is implemented here. The supported fields will return appropriate range instances. All other ChronoField instances will throw a DateTimeException.
    If the field is not a ChronoField, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking TemporalField.doRange(TemporalAccessor) passing this as the argument. Whether the range can be obtained is determined by the field.
    
    Specified by:
    
    range in interface TemporalAccessor
    
    Overrides:
    
    range in class DefaultInterfaceTemporalAccessor
    
    Parameters:
    field - the field to query the range for, not null
    
    Returns:
    the range of valid values for the field, not null
    
    Throws:
    
    DateTimeException - if the range for the field cannot be obtained
  - get
```
public int get(TemporalField field)
```
    Gets the value of the specified field from this month-day as an int.
    This queries this month-day for the value for the specified field. The returned value will always be within the valid range of values for the field. If it is not possible to return the value, because the field is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.
    If the field is a ChronoField then the query is implemented here. The supported fields will return valid values based on this month-day. All other ChronoField instances will throw a DateTimeException.
    If the field is not a ChronoField, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking TemporalField.doGet(TemporalAccessor) passing this as the argument. Whether the value can be obtained, and what the value represents, is determined by the field.
    
    Specified by:
    
    get in interface TemporalAccessor
    
    Overrides:
    
    get in class DefaultInterfaceTemporalAccessor
    
    Parameters:
    field - the field to get, not null
    
    Returns:
    the value for the field
    
    Throws:
    
    DateTimeException - if a value for the field cannot be obtained
    
    ArithmeticException - if numeric overflow occurs
  - getLong
```
public long getLong(TemporalField field)
```
    Gets the value of the specified field from this month-day as a long.
    This queries this month-day for the value for the specified field. If it is not possible to return the value, because the field is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.
    If the field is a ChronoField then the query is implemented here. The supported fields will return valid values based on this month-day. All other ChronoField instances will throw a DateTimeException.
    If the field is not a ChronoField, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking TemporalField.doGet(TemporalAccessor) passing this as the argument. Whether the value can be obtained, and what the value represents, is determined by the field.
    
    Specified by:
    
    getLong in interface TemporalAccessor
    
    Parameters:
    field - the field to get, not null

    ArithmeticException - if numeric overflow occurs
  - getMonth
```
public Month getMonth()
```
    Gets the month-of-year field using the Month enum.
    This method returns the enum Month for the month. This avoids confusion as to what int values mean. If you need access to the primitive int value then the enum provides the int value.
    
    Returns:
    the month-of-year, not null
  - getDayOfMonth
```
public int getDayOfMonth()
```
    Gets the day-of-month field.

  - isValidYear
```
public boolean isValidYear(int year)
```
    Checks if the year is valid for this month-day.
    This method checks whether this month and day and the input year form a valid date. This can only return false for February 29th.
    
    Parameters:
    year - the year to validate, an out of range value returns false
    
    Returns:
    true if the year is valid for this month-day

    Year.isValidMonthDay(MonthDay)
  - withMonth
```
public MonthDay withMonth(int month)
```
    Returns a copy of this MonthDay with the month-of-year altered.
    This returns a month-day with the specified month. If the day-of-month is invalid for the specified month, the day will be adjusted to the last valid day-of-month.
    This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.
    
    Parameters:
    month - the month-of-year to set in the returned month-day, from 1 (January) to 12 (December)
    
    Returns:
    a MonthDay based on this month-day with the requested month, not null

    DateTimeException - if the month-of-year value is invalid
  - with
```
public MonthDay with(Month month)
```
    Returns a copy of this MonthDay with the month-of-year altered.
    This returns a month-day with the specified month. If the day-of-month is invalid for the specified month, the day will be adjusted to the last valid day-of-month.

    Parameters:
    month - the month-of-year to set in the returned month-day, not null
    
    Returns:
    a MonthDay based on this month-day with the requested month, not null
  - withDayOfMonth
```
public MonthDay withDayOfMonth(int dayOfMonth)
```
    Returns a copy of this MonthDay with the day-of-month altered.
    This returns a month-day with the specified day-of-month. If the day-of-month is invalid for the month, an exception is thrown.
    This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.
    
    Parameters:
    dayOfMonth - the day-of-month to set in the return month-day, from 1 to 31
    
    Returns:
    a MonthDay based on this month-day with the requested day, not null
    
    Throws:
    
    DateTimeException - if the day-of-month value is invalid
    
    DateTimeException - if the day-of-month is invalid for the month
  - query
```
public <R> R query(TemporalQuery<R> query)
```
    Queries this month-day using the specified query.
    This queries this month-day using the specified query strategy object. The TemporalQuery object defines the logic to be used to obtain the result. Read the documentation of the query to understand what the result of this method will be.
    The result of this method is obtained by invoking the TemporalQuery.queryFrom(TemporalAccessor) method on the specified query passing this as the argument.
    
    Specified by:
    
    query in interface TemporalAccessor
    
    Overrides:
    
    query in class DefaultInterfaceTemporalAccessor
    
    Type Parameters:
    R - the type of the result
    Parameters:
    query - the query to invoke, not null
    
    Returns:
    the query result, null may be returned (defined by the query)
    
    Throws:
    
    DateTimeException - if unable to query (defined by the query)
    
    ArithmeticException - if numeric overflow occurs (defined by the query)
  - adjustInto
```
public Temporal adjustInto(Temporal temporal)
```
    Adjusts the specified temporal object to have this month-day.
    This returns a temporal object of the same observable type as the input with the month and day-of-month changed to be the same as this.
    The adjustment is equivalent to using Temporal.with(TemporalField, long) twice, passing ChronoField.MONTH_OF_YEAR and ChronoField.DAY_OF_MONTH as the fields. If the specified temporal object does not use the ISO calendar system then a DateTimeException is thrown.
    In most cases, it is clearer to reverse the calling pattern by using Temporal.with(TemporalAdjuster):
```
   // these two lines are equivalent, but the second approach is recommended
   temporal = thisMonthDay.adjustInto(temporal);
   temporal = temporal.with(thisMonthDay);
 
```
    This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.
    Specified by:
    
    adjustInto in interface TemporalAdjuster
    
    Parameters:
    temporal - the target object to be adjusted, not null
    
    Returns:
    the adjusted object, not null
    
    Throws:
    
    DateTimeException - if unable to make the adjustment
    
    ArithmeticException - if numeric overflow occurs
  - atYear
```
public LocalDate atYear(int year)
```
    Returns a date formed from this month-day at the specified year.
    This combines this month-day and the specified year to form a LocalDate. A month-day of February 29th will be adjusted to February 28th in the resulting date if the year is not a leap year.
    This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.
    
    Parameters:
    year - the year to use, from MIN_YEAR to MAX_YEAR
    
    Returns:
    the local date formed from this month-day and the specified year, not null
    See Also:
