Program 1:
// Java program to demonstrate// MonthDay.parse(CharSequence text) method  import java.time.*;import java.time.temporal.*;  public class GFG {    public static void main(String[] args)    {          // apply parse(CharSequence text) method        // of MonthDay class        MonthDay monthday = MonthDay.parse(            "--05-09");          // print both month and day        System.out.println("MonthDay: "                           + monthday);    }} |
Output:
MonthDay: --05-09
Program 2:
// Java program to demonstrate// MonthDay.parse(CharSequence text) method  import java.time.*;import java.time.temporal.*;  public class GFG {    public static void main(String[] args)    {          // apply parse(CharSequence text) method        // of MonthDay class        MonthDay monthday = MonthDay.parse(            "--05-09");          // print only month        System.out.println("Month: "                           + monthday.getMonth());    }} |
