    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // Get the number of Months
        int numberOfMonths = 5;

        Period p = Period.ofMonths(numberOfMonths);

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

Output:

0 Years
5 Months
0 Days

Example 2:

// Java code to demonstrate ofMonths() method

import java.time.Period;

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

        // Get the number of Months
        int numberOfMonths = -5;

        // Parse the numberOfMonths into Period
        // using ofMonths() method
        Period p = Period.ofMonths(numberOfMonths);

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