Below programs illustrate the ofYears() method of Period in Java:
Program 1:
// Java program to demonstrate// Period ofYears(int numberOfYears) method  import java.time.*;import java.time.temporal.*;  public class GFG {    public static void main(String[] args)    {        // Create Period object        Period period            = Period.ofYears(5);          // Print period        System.out.println("Years: "                           + period.getYears());        System.out.println("Months: "                           + period.getMonths());        System.out.println("Days: "                           + period.getDays());    }} |
Output:
Years: 5 Months: 0 Days: 0
Program 2:
// Java program to demonstrate// Period ofYears(int numberOfYears) methodimport java.time.*;import java.time.temporal.*;  public class GFG {    public static void main(String[] args)    {        int numberOfYears = -10;          // Create Period object        Period period            = Period.ofYears(numberOfYears);          // Print period        System.out.println("Years: "                           + period.getYears());        System.out.println("Months: "                           + period.getMonths());        System.out.println("Days: "                           + period.getDays());    }} |
