+# About
+
+The `java.time` package introduced in Java 8 contains several classes to work with dates and time.
+
+## `LocalDate`
+
+The [`java.time.LocalDate`][localdate-docs] class represents a date without a time-zone in the [ISO-8601 calendar system][iso-8601], such as `2007-12-03`:
+
+```java
+LocalDate date = LocalDate.of(2007, 12, 3);
+```
+
+Dates can be compared to other dates:
+
+```java
+LocalDate date1 = LocalDate.of(2007, 12, 3);
+LocalDate date2 = LocalDate.of(2007, 12, 4);
+
+date1.isBefore(date2);
+// => true
+
+date1.isAfter(date2);
+// => false
+```
+
+A `LocalDate` instance has getters to retrieve time portions from it:
+
+```java
+LocalDate date = LocalDate.of(2007, 12, 3);
+
+date.getYear();
+// => 2007
+
+date.getMonthValue();
+// => 12
+
+date.getDayOfMonth();
+// => 3
+```
+
+A `LocalDate` instance has methods to add time units to it.
+
+```exercism/note
+These methods return a _new_ `LocalDate` instance and do not update the existing instance, as the `LocalDate` class is immutable.
+```
+
+```java
+LocalDate date = LocalDate.of(2007, 12, 3);
+
+date.addDays(3);
+// => 2007-12-06
+
+date.addMonths(1);
+// => 2008-01-03
+
+date.addYears(1);
+// => 2008-12-03
+```
+
+## `LocalDateTime`
+
+The [`java.time.LocalDateTime`][localdatetime-docs] class represents a date-time without a time-zone in the [ISO-8601 calendar system][iso-8601], such as `2007-12-03T10:15:30`:
+
+```java
+LocalDateTime datetime = LocalDateTime.of(2007, 12, 3, 10, 15, 30);
+
+datetime.getYear();
+// => 2007
+
+datetime.getMonthValue();
+// => 12
+
+datetime.getDayOfMonth();
+// => 3
+
+datetime.getHours();
+// => 10
+
+datetime.getMinutes();
+// => 15
+
+datetime.getSeconds();
+// => 30
+```
+
+Like the `LocalDate` class, a `LocalDateTime` instance has the same methods to compare to other `LocalDateTime`s and to add time units to it.
+
+It is also possible to convert a `LocalDate` instance into a `LocalDateTime`:
+
+```java
+LocalDate date = LocalDate.of(2007, 12, 3);
+LocalDateTime datetime = date.atTime(10, 15, 30);
+datetime.toString();
+// => "2007-12-03T10:15:30"
+```
+
+## Formatting datetimes
+
+Both `LocalDate` and `LocalDateTime` use the [ISO-8601][iso-8601] standard notation when converting from and to a `String`.
+
+```java
+LocalDateTime datetime = LocalDateTime.of(2007, 12, 3, 10, 15, 30);
+LocalDateTime parsed = LocalDateTime.parse("2007-12-03T10:15:30");
+
+datetime.isEqual(parsed);
+// => true
+```
+
+Attempting to parse a `LocalDate` or `LocalDateTime` from a `String` like this using a different format is not possible.
+Instead, to format dates using a custom format, you should use the [`java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter`][datetimeformatter-docs]:
+
+```java
+DateTimeFormatter parser = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("dd/MM/yyyy");
+LocalDate date = LocalDate.parse("03/12/2007", formatter);
+
+DateTimeFormatter printer = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("MMMM d, yyyy");
+printer.format(date);
+// => "December 3, 2007"
+```

+- The `LocalDateTime` class has a method to [parse][localdatetime-parse] a `String` to a `LocalDateTime`.

+- `LocalDateTime` instances have [methods][localdatetime-methods] to compare them to other `LocalDateTime`s.
+- There is a [method][localdatetime-methods] to retrieve the current date and time.

+## 4. Describe the time and date of the appointment
+
+- Use a [`DateTimeFormatter`][datetimeformatter-docs] with a custom pattern to format the `LocalDateTime`.
+- The tests are running as if running on a machine in the United States, so make sure that the formatter [uses the correct locale][datetimeformatter-ofpattern-with-locale].

+# Instructions
+
+In this exercise you'll be working on an appointment scheduler for a beauty salon in New York that opened on September 15th in 2012.
+
+## 1. Parse appointment date
+
+Implement the `AppointmentScheduler.schedule()` method to parse a textual representation of an appointment date into the corresponding `LocalDateTime`:
+
+```java
+AppointmentScheduler scheduler = new AppointmentScheduler();
+scheduler.schedule("7/25/2019 13:45:00");
+// => LocalDateTime.of(2019, 7, 25, 13, 45, 0)
+```
+
+## 2. Check if an appointment has already passed
+
+Implement the `AppointmentScheduler.hasPassed()` method that takes an appointment date and checks if the appointment was somewhere in the past:
+
+```java
+AppointmentScheduler scheduler = new AppointmentScheduler();
+scheduler.hasPassed(LocalDateTime.of(1999, 12, 31, 9, 0, 0));
+// => true
+```
+
+## 3. Check if appointment is in the afternoon
+
+Implement the `AppointmentScheduler.isAfternoonAppointment()` method that takes an appointment date and checks if the appointment is in the afternoon (>= 12:00 and < 18:00):
+
+```java
+AppointmentScheduler scheduler = new AppointmentScheduler();
+scheduler.isAfternoonAppointment(LocalDateTime.of(2019, 03, 29, 15, 0, 0))
+// => true
+```
+
+## 4. Describe the time and date of the appointment
+
+Implement the `AppointmentScheduler.getDescription()` method that takes an appointment date and returns a description of that date and time:
+
+```java
+AppointmentScheduler scheduler = new AppointmentScheduler();
+scheduler.getDescription(LocalDateTime.of(2019, 03, 29, 15, 0, 0))
+// => "You have an appointment on Friday, March 29, 2019, at 3:00 PM."
+```
+
+## 5. Return the anniversary date
+
+Implement the `AppointmentScheduler.getAnniversaryDate()` method that returns this year's anniversary date, which is September 15th:
+
+```java
+AppointmentScheduler scheduler = new AppointmentScheduler();
+scheduler.getAnniversaryDate()
+// => LocalDate.of(2023, 9, 15)
+```
