        // Parse the numberOfDays into Period
        // using ofDays() method
        Period p = Period.ofDays(numberOfDays);
  
        System.out.println(p.getYears() + " Years\n"
                           + p.getMonths() + " Months\n"

    {
  
        // Get the number of Days
        int numberOfDays = -5;
  
        // Parse the numberOfDays into Period
        // using ofDays() method
        Period p = Period.ofDays(numberOfDays);
  
        System.out.println(p.getYears() + " Years\n"
                           + p.getMonths() + " Months\n"
