We will use the parse method of the LocalDate class to perform this conversion Example (using Java 8+ versions) import java.time.LocalDate; import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter; public class DateConversion { public static void main(String[] args) { DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("dd-MM-yyyy"); try { LocalDate date = LocalDate.parse("19-09-2020",formatter); System.out.println(da
