Below programs illustrate the above method:
Program 1:
// Java code to show the function getMonths()// to get number of months from given periodimport java.time.Period;import java.time.temporal.ChronoUnit;  public class PeriodDemo {      // Function to get number of months of given period    static void getNumberOfDays(int year, int months, int days)    {        Period period = Period.of(year, months, days);        System.out.println(period.getMonths());    }      // Driver Code    public static void main(String[] args)    {          int year = 0;        int months = 10;        int days = 365;          getNumberOfDays(year, months, days);    }} |
Output:
10
Program 2: This will not convert 13 months to year.
// Java code to show the function getMonths()// to get number of months from given periodimport java.time.Period;import java.time.temporal.ChronoUnit;  public class PeriodDemo {      // Function to get number of months of given period    static void getNumberOfDays(int year, int months, int days)    {        Period period = Period.of(year, months, days);        System.out.println(period.getMonths());    }      // Driver Code    public static void main(String[] args)    {          int year = 1;        int months = 13;        int days = 36;          getNumberOfDays(year, months, days);    }} |
Output:
13
