DateTimeFormatter Support for Single Digit Day of Month and Month of Year

Question

DateTimeFormmater doesn\'t seem to handle single digit day of the month:

String format = \"MM/dd/yyyy\";
String date   = \"5/3/1969\";

Answer 1

In Java 8 Date Time API, I recently used

DateTimeFormatter formatter = new DateTimeFormatterBuilder()
            .appendOptional(DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("M/dd/yyyy"))
            .appendOptional(DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern(("MM/dd/yyyy")))
            .toFormatter();

System.out.println(LocalDate.parse("10/22/2020", formatter));
System.out.println(LocalDate.parse("2/21/2020", formatter));
