Below programs illustrate the ChronoUnit.valueOf() method:
Program 1:
// Java program to demonstrate// ChronoUnit.valueOf() method import java.time.temporal.ChronoUnit; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // get ChronoUnit ChronoUnit chronoUnit = ChronoUnit.valueOf("MILLENNIA"); // print System.out.println("ChronoUnit: " + chronoUnit); }} |
Output:
ChronoUnit: Millennia
Program 2:
// Java program to demonstrate// ChronoUnit.valueOf() method import java.time.temporal.ChronoUnit; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // get ChronoUnit ChronoUnit chronoUnit = ChronoUnit.valueOf("CENTURIES"); // print System.out.println("ChronoUnit: " + chronoUnit); }} |
