The withYears() method of Period Class is used to obtain a period with specified number of years. This number of years is passed as the parameter as integer value.
Syntax:
public Period withYears(int numberOfYears)
Parameters: This method accepts a parameter numberOfYears which is the number of years to be changed in this Period.
Returns: This function returns a Period with the number of years passed as the parameter.
Below is the implementation of Period.withYears() method:
Example 1:
// Java code to demonstrate withYears() method import java.time.Period; class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // Get the String to be withYearsd String period = "P1Y2M21D"; // Parse the String into Period Period p = Period.parse(period); System.out.println("Period: " + p); // Get the number of years int numberOfYears = 5; // Change the numberOfYears of this Period // using withYears() method System.out.println("New Period: " + p.withYears(numberOfYears)); }} |
Output:
Period: P1Y2M21D New Period: P5Y2M21D
Example 2:
// Java code to demonstrate withYears() method import java.time.Period; class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // Get the String to be withYearsd String period = "-P1Y2M21D"; // Parse the String into Period Period p = Period.parse(period); System.out.println("Period: " + p); // Get the number of years int numberOfYears = -5; // Change the numberOfYears of this Period // using withYears() method System.out.println("New Period: " + p.withYears(numberOfYears)); }} |
Output:
Period: P-1Y-2M-21D New Period: P-5Y-2M-21D
