Below programs illustrate the plusYears() method of YearMonth in Java:
Program 1:
// Java program to demonstrate // YearMonth.plusYears() method import java.time.*;
import java.time.temporal.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Create YearMonth object
YearMonth yearmonth
= YearMonth.parse( "2020-05" );
// Apply plusYears() method
// of YearMonth class
YearMonth result
= yearmonth.plusYears( 5 );
// It will add 5 years into May 2020
// So it will be May 2025
// print results
System.out.println(
"Modified YearMonth: "
+ result);
}
} |
Modified YearMonth: 2025-05
Program 2:
// Java program to demonstrate // YearMonth.plusYears() method import java.time.*;
import java.time.temporal.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Create YearMonth object
YearMonth yearmonth
= YearMonth.of( 2019 , 10 );
// It is October 2019
// apply plusYears() method
// of YearMonth class
YearMonth result
= yearmonth.plusYears( 10 );
// YearMonth will become October 2029
// print only modified year
System.out.println(
"Modified Year: "
+ result.get(ChronoField.YEAR));
}
} |
