// Program to illustrate the lengthOfYear() method
  
import java.util.*;
import java.time.*;
  
public class GfG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // Create YearMonth object
        YearMonth yearMonth = YearMonth.of(2016, 2);
  
        // Print the length of year in Number
        // of days, 366 in this case as 2016 is
        // a Leap Year
        System.out.println(yearMonth.lengthOfYear());
    }
}


Output:

366

Program 2:




// Program to illustrate the lengthOfYear() method
  
import java.util.*;
import java.time.*;
  
public class GfG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // Create YearMonth object
        YearMonth yearMonth = YearMonth.of(1990, 2);
  
        // Print the length of year in Number
        // of days, 365 in this case as 1990 is
        // not a Leap Year

    }
