The multipliedBy() method of ChronoPeriod interface in Java is used to return a new instance of ChronoPeriod after multiplying ‘X’ (a scalar quantity) each element of the period YEAR, MONTH, DAY from a given period. This function operate only on all three YEAR, MONTHS, DAYS.
Syntax:
public ChronoPeriod multipliedBy(int toMultiply)
Parameters: This method accepts a single parameter toMultiply which is the scalar number to be multiplied to the period.
Return Value: This method returns a new instance of ChronoPeriod after multiplying each element of the period with the given toMultiply input.
Exceptions: It throws an ArithmeticException.This exception is caught if numeric overflow occurs.
Below is the implementation of the above method:
Program 1:
// Java code to show the function multipliedBy()// to multiply the given number to given period import java.time.*;import java.time.chrono.*;import java.time.temporal.ChronoUnit; public class ChronoPeriodClass { // Function to multiply a constant to given periods static void multiply(ChronoPeriod p1, int toMultiply) { System.out.println(p1.multipliedBy(toMultiply)); } // Driver Code public static void main(String[] args) { // Defining first period int year = 4; int months = 11; int days = 10; ChronoPeriod p1 = Period.of(year, months, days); int toMultiply = 2; multiply(p1, toMultiply); }} |

Program 2:
// Java code to show the function multipliedBy()// to multiply the given number to given period import java.time.*;import java.time.chrono.*;import java.time.temporal.ChronoUnit; public class ChronoPeriodClass { // Function to multiply a constant to given periods static void multiply(ChronoPeriod p1, int toMultiply) { System.out.println(p1.multipliedBy(toMultiply)); } // Driver Code public static void main(String[] args) { // Defining first period int year = -4; int months = -11; int days = -10; ChronoPeriod p1 = Period.of(year, months, days); int toMultiply = 2; multiply(p1, toMultiply); }} |
