Below is the implementation of Period.of() method:
Example 1:
// Java code to demonstrate of() method  import java.time.Period;  class GFG {    public static void main(String[] args)    {          // Get the number of Years        int numberOfYears = 1;          // Get the number of Months        int numberOfMonths = 5;          // Get the number of Days        int numberOfDays = 21;          // Parse the given amounts into Period        // using of() method        Period p            = Period.of(numberOfYears,                        numberOfMonths,                        numberOfDays);          System.out.println(p.getYears() + " Years\n"                           + p.getMonths() + " Months\n"                           + p.getDays() + " Days");    }} |
Output:
1 Years 5 Months 21 Days
Example 2:
// Java code to demonstrate of() method  import java.time.Period;  class GFG {    public static void main(String[] args)    {          // Get the number of Years        int numberOfYears = -2;          // Get the number of Months        int numberOfMonths = 10;          // Get the number of Days        int numberOfDays = -11;          // Parse the given amounts into Period        // using of() method        Period p            = Period.of(numberOfYears,                        numberOfMonths,                        numberOfDays);          System.out.println(p.getYears() + " Years\n"                           + p.getMonths() + " Months\n"                           + p.getDays() + " Days");    }} |
Output:
-2 Years 10 Months -11 Days
