Weekend filter for Java 8 LocalDateTime

Question

I want to write a boolean valued function which returns true if the given LocalDateTime falls between two specific points in time, false otherwise.

Specific

Answer 1

An alternate Java 8+ solution would be to use a Predicate to test whether the date falls on a weekend.

Predicate isWeekend = date -> DayOfWeek.from(date).get(ChronoField.DAY_OF_WEEK) > 5;

Then you can use apply it in a stream like

someListOfDates.stream()
   .filter(isWeekend)
   .forEach(System.out::println);

No external dependencies needed. (Though, please use a logger in production.)
