last working day of previous month with LocalDate

Question

public static String getLastWorkingDayOfPreviousMonth() {



    LocalDate lastDayOfCurrentMonth = LocalDate.now().with(TemporalAdjusters.lastDayOfMonth());

    LocalDate lastWorkingDayOfMonth;



    switch (DayOfWeek.of(lastDayOfCurrentMonth.get(ChronoField.DAY_OF_WEEK))) {

        case SATURDAY:

            lastWorkingDayOfMonth = lastDayOfCurrentMonth.minusMonths(1);

            break;

        case SUNDAY:

            lastWorkingDayOfMonth = lastDayOfCurrentMonth.minusMonths(2);

            break;

        default:

            lastWorkingDayOfMonth = lastDayOfCurrentMonth;

    }



    return getFormattedDate(lastWorkingDayOfMonth);

}

The above gives last working day of the current month. How can I get the last working day of the

Previous

month adjusting the above?

Sometimes, the simple approach is better than a clever approach:

LocalDate lastWorkingDayOfMonth = LocalDate.now().withDayOfMonth(1);
do {
    lastWorkingDayOfMonth = lastWorkingDayOfMonth.minusDays(1);
} while (lastWorkingDayOfMonth.getDayOfWeek() == DayOfWeek.SATURDAY ||
         lastWorkingDayOfMonth.getDayOfWeek() == DayOfWeek.SUNDAY);
