YearMonth get() method in Java with Examples

The get() method of the YearMonth class in Java is used to get the value of the specified field from this year-month as an integer value. This method queries this year-month for the value of the specified field. The returned value will always be within the valid range. An exception is thrown if it is not possible to return the value because the field is not supported or for some other reason.

Syntax:

public int get(TemporalField field)

Parameters: This method accepts field as parameters which represents the TemporalField whose value is required.

Return value: This method returns the value for the field.

Exception: The method throws following exceptions:

• DateTimeException – if a value for the field cannot be obtained or the value is outside the range of valid values for the field.
• UnsupportedTemporalTypeException – if the field is not supported or the range of values exceeds an int.
• ArithmeticException – if numeric overflow occurs.

Below programs illustrate the get() method of YearMonth in Java:

Program 1:

// Java program to demonstrate
// YearMonth.get() method

import java.time.*;
import java.time.temporal.*;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // create YearMonth object
        YearMonth yearmonth
            = YearMonth.of(2020, 5);

        // apply get() method of
        // YearMonth class to get year
        // It will store year
        // in variable of type int
        int year
            = yearmonth.get(
                ChronoField.YEAR_OF_ERA);

        // print year
        System.out.println("YEAR: " + year);
    }
}

Output:

YEAR: 2020

Program 2:

// Java program to demonstrate
// YearMonth.get() method

import java.time.*;
import java.time.temporal.*;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // create YearMonth object
        YearMonth yearmonth
            = YearMonth.of(2020, 5);

        // apply get() method of
        // YearMonth class to get month
        // It will store month
        // in variable of type int
        int month
            = yearmonth.get(
                ChronoField.MONTH_OF_YEAR);

        // print month
        System.out.println("MONTH: " + month);
    }
}

Output:

MONTH: 5
