public class LocalDateExamples {
 
    public static void main(String[] args) {
         getDaysFromMonthAndYear();
    }
 
    private static void getDaysFromMonthAndYear() {
        LocalDate localDate1 = LocalDate.of(2017, Month.JANUARY, 1);
        LocalDate localDate2 = LocalDate.of(2016, Month.FEBRUARY, 1);

        // Number of days in a month
        System.out.println("Number of days in " + localDate1.getMonth() + " : " + localDate1.lengthOfMonth());
        System.out.println("Number of days in " + localDate2.getMonth() + " : " + localDate2.lengthOfMonth());
 
        // Number of days in a year
        System.out.println("Number of days in " + localDate1.getYear() + " : " + localDate1.lengthOfYear());
        System.out.println("Number of days in " + localDate2.getYear() + " : " + localDate2.lengthOfYear());
    }
}

Output:

Number of days in JANUARY : 31
Number of days in FEBRUARY : 29
Number of days in 2017 : 365
Number of days in 2016 : 366
