import java.time.LocalDate;import java.time.DayOfWeek;import java.time.temporal.TemporalAdjusters;public class UnderstandingTemporalAdjusters {   public static void main(String args[]) {      UnderstandingTemporalAdjusters understandingTemporalAdjusters = new UnderstandingTemporalAdjusters();      understandingTemporalAdjusters.proceed();   }      public void proceed()    {      //Today      LocalDate today = LocalDate.now();      System.out.println("Today's date: " + today);      //Last day of current month      LocalDate lastDayOfMonth = today.with(TemporalAdjusters.lastDayOfMonth());      System.out.println("lastDayOfMonth : " + lastDayOfMonth);      //First day of next month      LocalDate firstDayOfNextMonth = today.with(TemporalAdjusters.firstDayOfNextMonth());      System.out.println("firstDayOfNextMonth : " + firstDayOfNextMonth);            //Next Wednesday      LocalDate nextWednesday = today.with(TemporalAdjusters.next(DayOfWeek.WEDNESDAY));      System.out.println("Next Wednesday is on: " + nextWednesday);         }}/*
