Below programs illustrate the parse(CharSequence text) method:

Program 1:

// Java program to demonstrate 
// Year.parse(CharSequence text) method 
  
import java.time.*; 
  
public class GFG { 
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    { 
        // create a Year object 
        // using parse(CharSequence text) 
        Year year = Year.parse("2019");

        System.out.println("Year Parsed:"
                           + year); 
    } 
}

Program 2:

// Java program to demonstrate

import java.time.*; 
  
public class GFG { 
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    { 
        // create a Year object 
        // using parse(CharSequence text) 
        Year year = Year.parse("2018");
