public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // create a YearMonth object
        // using parse(CharSequence text)
        YearMonth yearMonth = YearMonth.parse("2019-12");

    {
        // create a YearMonth object
        // using parse(CharSequence text)
        YearMonth yearMonth = YearMonth.parse("2022-05");
