The parse(CharSequence text, DateTimeFormatter formatter) method of the MonthDay class in Java is used to get an instance of MonthDay from a text string using a specific formatter.
Syntax:
public static MonthDay parse(
CharSequence text,
DateTimeFormatter formatter)
Parameters: This method accepts
- text as a parameter to parse and
- formatter as a parameter to use.
Return value: This method returns the parsed month-day.
Exceptions: This method throws DateTimeParseException if the text cannot be parsed.
Below programs illustrate the parse(CharSequence text, DateTimeFormatter formatter) method of MonthDay in Java:
Program 1:
// Java program to demonstrate// MonthDay.parse(CharSequence text,// DateTimeFormatter formatter) method  import java.time.*;import java.time.temporal.*;import java.time.format.*;  public class GFG {    public static void main(String[] args)    {          // apply ofpattern() method        // of DateTimeFormatter class        DateTimeFormatter datetimeformatter            = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("--MM-dd");          // apply parse(CharSequence text,        // DateTimeFormatter formatter) method        // of MonthDay class        MonthDay monthday = MonthDay.parse(            "--05-09", datetimeformatter);          // print monthday        // in mm-dd format        System.out.println("MonthDay: "                           + monthday);    }} |
Output:
MonthDay: --05-09
Program 2:
// Java program to demonstrate// MonthDay.parse(CharSequence text,// DateTimeFormatter formatter) method  import java.time.*;import java.time.temporal.*;import java.time.format.*;  public class GFG {    public static void main(String[] args)    {          // apply ofpattern() method        // of DateTimeFormatter class        DateTimeFormatter datetimeformatter            = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("--dd-MM");          // apply parse(CharSequence text,        // DateTimeFormatter formatter) method        // of MonthDay class        MonthDay monthday = MonthDay.parse(            "--05-09", datetimeformatter);          // print monthday        // in dd-mm format        System.out.println("MonthDay: "                           + monthday);    }} |
Output:
MonthDay: --09-05
