The normalized() method of ChronoPeriod interface in Java is used to return a new instance of ChronoPeriod after normalizing years and months.
Syntax:
ChronoPeriod normalized()
Parameters: This function does not accepts any parameter.
Return Value: This function returns a new instance of ChronoPeriod after normalizing year and month of the period.
Exceptions: It throws an ArithmeticException. This exception is caught if numeric overflow occurs.
Below program illustrates the above method:
Program 1:
// Java code to show the function to normalize// months and years of the period  import java.time.*;import java.time.chrono.*;import java.time.temporal.ChronoUnit;  public class ChronoPeriodClass {      // Function to normalize given periods    static void toNormalize(ChronoPeriod p1)    {          System.out.println(p1.normalized());    }      // Driver Code    public static void main(String[] args)    {        // Defining period        int year = 4;        int months = 15;        int days = 10;        ChronoPeriod p1 = Period.of(year, months, days);          toNormalize(p1);    }} |
Output:
P5Y3M10D
Program 2: This will not normalize the number of days.
// Java code to show the function to normalize// months and years of the period  import java.time.*;import java.time.chrono.*;import java.time.temporal.ChronoUnit;  public class ChronoPeriodClass {      // Function to normalize given periods    static void toNormalize(ChronoPeriod p1)    {          System.out.println(p1.normalized());    }      // Driver Code    public static void main(String[] args)    {        // Defining period        int year = 10;        int months = 25;        int days = 366;        ChronoPeriod p1 = Period.of(year, months, days);          toNormalize(p1);    }} |
Output:
P12Y1M366D
