Julian day of the year in Java

Question

I have seen the \"solution\" at http://www.rgagnon.com/javadetails/java-0506.html, but it doesn\'t work correctly. E.g. yesterday (June 8) should have been 159, but it said

Answer 1

You can also get the "Julian Date" or "Ordinal Date" this way:

import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.Date;

public class MyClass {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance();
    LocalDate myObj = LocalDate.now();
    System.out.println(myObj);
    System.out.println("Julian Date:" + cal.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR));

  }
}
