Method Detail

setToNext

ElementOperator<PlainDate> setToNext(V value)

Moves a time point to the first given element value which is after the current element value.

Example for a date which shall be moved to a special weekday:

  import static net.time4j.Month.MARCH;
  import static net.time4j.PlainDate.DAY_OF_WEEK;
  import static net.time4j.Weekday.MONDAY;

  PlainDate date = PlainDate.of(2013, MARCH, 7); // Thursday
  System.out.println(date.with(DAY_OF_WEEK.setToNext(MONDAY)));
  // output: 2013-03-11 (first monday after march 7th)
 

Parameters:

value - new element value which is after current value

Returns:

operator directly applicable also on PlainTimestamp

setToPrevious

ElementOperator<PlainDate> setToPrevious(V value)

Moves a time point to the first given element value which is before the current element value.

Example for a date which shall be moved to a special weekday:

  import static net.time4j.IsoElement.DAY_OF_WEEK;
  import static net.time4j.Month.MARCH;
  import static net.time4j.Weekday.THURSDAY;

  PlainDate date = PlainDate.of(2013, MARCH, 7); // Thursday
  System.out.println(date.with(DAY_OF_WEEK.setToPrevious(THURSDAY)));
  // output: 2013-02-28 (Thursday one week earlier)
 

Parameters:

value - new element value which is before current value

Returns:

operator directly applicable also on PlainTimestamp

setToNextOrSame

ElementOperator<PlainDate> setToNextOrSame(V value)

Moves a time point to the first given element value which is after or equal to the current element value.

Is the current element value equal to the given element value then there is no movement.

Parameters:

value - new element value which is either after current value or the same

Returns:

operator directly applicable also on PlainTimestamp

setToPreviousOrSame

ElementOperator<PlainDate> setToPreviousOrSame(V value)

Moves a time point to the first given element value which is before or equal to the current element value.

Is the current element value equal to the given element value then there is no movement.

Parameters:

value - new element value which is either before current value or the same

Returns:

operator directly applicable also on PlainTimestamp
