    Month birthMonth = Month.SEPTEMBER;

    System.out.println("Todays Date: " + currentDate);

    // get current date and month
    int date = currentDate.getDayOfMonth();
    Month month = currentDate.getMonth();

    if(date == birthDate && month == birthMonth) {

      System.out.println("Today is not my birthday.");
    }
   }
}

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU !!

In the above example,

  • LocalDate.now() - returns the current date
  • getDayOfMonth() - returns the current day
  • getMonth() - returns the current month

Here, we have used the if...else statement to check if the current date matches the birthdate. If true, the Happy Birthday message is printed.
