// getLeastMaximum() method 
  
import java.util.*; 
  
public class Calendar_Demo { 
    public static void main(String args[]) 
    { 
  
        // Creating a calendar 
        Calendar calndr = Calendar.getInstance();

        // Getting the lowest maximum month 
        int low_max = calndr.getLeastMaximum(Calendar.MONTH); 
  
        // Displaying the results 
        System.out.println("The Lowest"
                           + " Maximum months: " + low_max); 
    } 
} 

Output:

Required Months: 1
The Lowest Maximum months: 11

Example 2:

// Java code to illustrate 
// getLeastMaximum() method

    public static void main(String args[]) 
    { 
  
        // Creating a calendar 
        Calendar calndr = new GregorianCalendar(2018, 6, 10);
