How to get date in days only Java?

Question

Is there a way to get the date in java in days only? For instance Jan 1 would equal 1 and Feb 1 would equal 32? Instead of the standard time format yyyy/mm/dd? Perhaps by editing the date formater somehow:

DateTimeFormatter dtf = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy/MM/dd");
LocalDate localDate = LocalDate.now();

Use `Day-of-year`: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/time/format/DateTimeFormatter.html — OH GOD SPIDERS, May 02 '17 at 16:34

Use getDayOfYear():

LocalDate localDate = LocalDate.now();
System.out.println(localDate.getDayOfYear());

Returns: the day-of-year, from 1 to 365, or 366 in a leap year

You can use below

Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance(); int dayOfYear = calendar.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR);

try this

SimpleDateFormat format1=new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
      Date dt1=format1.parse(pass your date);
      DateFormat format2=new SimpleDateFormat("EEEE"); 
      String finalDay=format2.format(dt1);
