A month-of-year, such as 'July'.
Month
is an enum representing the 12 months of the year - January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November and December.
In addition to the textual enum name, each month-of-year has an int
value. The int
value follows normal usage and the ISO-8601 standard, from 1 (January) to 12 (December). It is recommended that applications use the enum rather than the int
value to ensure code clarity.
Do not use ordinal()
to obtain the numeric representation of Month
. Use getValue()
instead.
This enum represents a common concept that is found in many calendar systems. As such, this enum may be used by any calendar system that has the month-of-year concept defined exactly equivalent to the ISO-8601 calendar system.
