Parameters: This method does not accepts any parameter.

Return Value: This method returns a boolean value True if all of the three values YEARS, MONTHS, DAYS for the given period are zero, else this will return False.

Below programs illustrate the above method:

Program 1:




// Java code to show the function isZero()
// to check whether all of the three given units
// YEAR, MONTH, DAY are zero.
import java.time.Period;
import java.time.temporal.ChronoUnit;
  
public class PeriodDemo {
  
    // Function to check if all of the three YEAR, MONTH, DAY are zero
    static void ifZero(int year, int months, int days)
    {
        Period period = Period.of(year, months, days);
        System.out.println(period.isZero());
    }
  
    // Driver Code
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        int year = 0;
        int months = 0;
        int days = 0;
  
        ifZero(year, months, days);
    }
}


Output:

true

Program 2:




// Java code to show the function isZero()
// to check whether all of the three given units
// YEAR, MONTH, DAY are zero.
import java.time.Period;
import java.time.temporal.ChronoUnit;
  
public class PeriodDemo {
  
    // Function to check if all of the three YEAR, MONTH, DAY are zero
    static void ifZero(int year, int months, int days)
    {
        Period period = Period.of(year, months, days);
        System.out.println(period.isZero());
    }
  
    // Driver Code
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        int year = 0;
        int months = 0;
        int days = -12;
