The
ofEpochDay(long epochDay) method of
LocalDate class in Java is used to obtain an instance of
LocalDate from the epoch day count. Epoch day is 01-01-1970(DD-MM-YYYY). This is considered as a start of the epoch day. The method returns the LocalDate by adding the passed days into Epoch date i.e. 01-01-1970. Suppose 2 is passed as a parameter, the method will return 03-01-1970 (2 is added to '01' from the epoch day(DD)). Similarly, if 365 is passed then a whole new year will be added to the epoch date.
Syntax:

Parameters: This method accepts one parameter
epochDay which is the conversion base.
Return Value: This method returns the
localdate after conversion.
Exceptions: This method throws
DateTimeException if the epoch day exceeds the supported date range.
