Output:
Period: P1Y2M21D Total number of Months in this Period: 14
Example 2:
// Java code to demonstrate toTotalMonths() method import java.time.Period; class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // Get the String to be toTotalMonthsd String period = "-P1Y2M21D"; // Parse the String into Period Period p = Period.parse(period); System.out.println("Period: " + p); // Get the total number of months // using toTotalMonths() method System.out.println("Total number of Months" + " in this Period: " + p.toTotalMonths()); }} |
