• DateTimeException – if the text cannot be parsed.

Below programs illustrate the parse(CharSequence, DateTimeFormatter) method: Program 1:

Java

// Java program to demonstrate
// Year.parse(CharSequence, DateTimeFormatter) method

import java.time.*;
import java.time.format.*;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // create a formatter
        DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yy");

        // create a Year object
        // using parse(CharSequence, DateTimeFormatter)
        Year year = Year.parse("18", formatter);

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

Output:

Year Parsed:2018

Program 2:

Java

// Java program to demonstrate
// Year.parse(CharSequence, formatter) method

import java.time.*;
import java.time.format.*;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // create a formatter
        DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("yyyy");

        // create a Year object
        // using parse(CharSequence, DateTimeFormatter)
        Year year = Year.parse("2087", formatter);

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

Output:

Year Parsed:2087
