LocalDate dt1 = tm1.atYear( 2018 );
MonthDay tm2 = MonthDay.parse( "--12-06" );
LocalDate dt2 = tm2.atYear( 2018 );
System.out.println(dt1.compareTo(dt2));
}
}

Program 2:
import java.util.*;
import java.time.*;
public class GfG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
MonthDay tm1 = MonthDay.parse( "--10-06" );
LocalDate dt1 = tm1.atYear( 2018 );
MonthDay tm2 = MonthDay.parse( "--12-06" );
LocalDate dt2 = tm2.atYear( 2018 );
System.out.println(dt1.compareTo(dt2));
}
}

Program 3:
import java.util.*;
import java.time.*;
public class GfG {
public static void main(String[] args)
