HijrahDate lengthOfYear() method in Java with Example

The lengthOfYear() method of java.time.chrono.HijrahDate class is used to get the no of days present in a year represented by a particular hijrah date.

Syntax:

public int lengthOfYear()

Parameter: This method does not accept any argument as a parameter.

Return Value: This method returns the number of days present as an integer value in a year represented by a particular hijrah date.

Below are the examples to illustrate the lengthOfYear() method:

Example 1:

Java




// Java program to demonstrate
// lengthOfYear() method
  
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.time.*;
import java.time.chrono.*;
import java.time.temporal.*;
  
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
        try {
            // Creating and initializing
            // HijrahDate Object
            HijrahDate hidate
                = HijrahDate.of(1345, 06, 23);
  
            // Getting length of a year
            // by using lengthOfYear() method
            int length = hidate.lengthOfYear();
  
            // Display the result
            System.out.println("no of day present: "
                               + length);
        }
        catch (DateTimeException e) {
            System.out.println("passed parameter can"
                               + " not form a date");
            System.out.println("Exception thrown: "
                               + e);
        }
    }
}


Output:

no of day present: 354

Example 2:

Java




// Java program to demonstrate
// lengthOfYear() method
  
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.time.*;
import java.time.chrono.*;
import java.time.temporal.*;
  
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
        try {
            // Creating and initializing
            // HijrahDate Object
            HijrahDate hidate = HijrahDate.now();
  
            // Getting length of a year
            // by using lengthOfYear() method
            int length = hidate.lengthOfYear();
  
            // Display the result
            System.out.println("no of day present: "
                               + length);
        }
        catch (DateTimeException e) {
            System.out.println("passed parameter can"
                               + " not form a date");
            System.out.println("Exception thrown: "
                               + e);
        }
    }
}


Output:

no of day present: 355
