An example of converting a String to LocalDateTime, but it prompts the following errors:
Java8Example.java
package com.mkyong.demo; import java.time.LocalDateTime; import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter; import java.util.Locale; public class Java8Example { public static void main(String[] args) { String str = "31-Aug-2020"; DateTimeFormatter dtf = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("dd-MMM-yyyy", Locale.US); LocalDateTime localDateTime = LocalDateTime.parse(str, dtf); System.out.println(localDateTime); } }
Output

Solution
The date 31-Aug-2020 contains no time, to fix it, uses LocalDate.parse(str, dtf).atStartOfDay()
String str = "31-Aug-2020"; DateTimeFormatter dtf = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("dd-MMM-yyyy", Locale.US); LocalDateTime localDateTime = LocalDate.parse(str, dtf).atStartOfDay();
