1. Learning LocalDate

    public static void main(String\u005B\u005D args) throws IOException {
        LocalDate date = LocalDate.now();
        int month = date.getMonthValue();
        int today = date.getDayOfMonth();

        date = date.minusDays(today - 1); // Set to start of month, minusDays(int n) method generates the date after or before the current date
        DayOfWeek weekday = date.getDayOfWeek();
        int value = weekday.getValue(); // 1 = Monday, ... 7 = Sunday

        System.out.println("Mon Tue Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun");
        for (int i = 1; i < value; i++)
            System.out.print("    ");
        while (date.getMonthValue() == month) {
            System.out.printf("%3d", date.getDayOfMonth());
            if (date.getDayOfMonth() == today)
                System.out.print("*");
            else
                System.out.print(" ");
            date = date.plusDays(1);
            if (date.getDayOfWeek().getValue() == 1)
                System.out.println();
        }
        if (date.getDayOfWeek().getValue() != 1)
            System.out.println();
    }

Output result

2. The Java file name must match the name of the public class. In a source file, there can only be one public class.
3. If you need to return a reference to a variable object, you should clone it first.
4. A method cannot modify the parameters of a basic data type (i.e. numerical or Boolean).
A method can change the state of an object parameter.
A method cannot allow an object parameter to refer to a new object.
