Parameters: This method accepts a single parameter numberOfDays which is the number of Days to be parsed into an Period object.

Returns: This function returns the period which is the Period object parsed with the given number of Days.

Below is the implementation of Period.ofDays() method:

Example 1:

// Java code to demonstrate ofDays() method

import java.time.Period;

class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // Get the number of Days
        int numberOfDays = 5;

        // Parse the numberOfDays into Period
        // using ofDays() method
        Period p = Period.ofDays(numberOfDays);

        System.out.println(p.getYears() + " Years\n"
                           + p.getMonths() + " Months\n"
                           + p.getDays() + " Days");
    }
}

Output:

0 Years
0 Months
5 Days

Example 2:

// Java code to demonstrate ofDays() method

import java.time.Period;

class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // Get the number of Days
        int numberOfDays = -5;

        // Parse the numberOfDays into Period
        // using ofDays() method
        Period p = Period.ofDays(numberOfDays);

        System.out.println(p.getYears() + " Years\n"
                           + p.getMonths() + " Months\n"
                           + p.getDays() + " Days");
    }
}

Output:

0 Years
0 Months
-5 Days
