ChronoPeriod get() method in Java with Examples

Last Updated : 12 Jul, 2025
The get() method of ChronoPeriod interface in Java is used to get the value of the requested unit(YEARS, MONTHS or DAYS) given in the argument from this ChronoPeriod. Syntax:
long get(TemporalUnit unit)
Parameters: This method accepts a single parameter unit of type TemporalUnit which is the unit to get required unit. Return Value: This function returns the long value of the requested unit. Exceptions:
  • DateTimeException - This method throws DateTimeException, if the unit in argument is not supported.
  • UnsupportedTemporalTypeException - This method throws UnsupportedTemporalTypeException if the unit given in argument is not supported.
Below programs illustrate the above method: Program 1: Java
// Java code to show the function get()
// which gives the requested unit

import java.time.*;
import java.time.chrono.*;
import java.time.temporal.ChronoUnit;

public class ChronoPeriodDemo {

    // Function to get requested unit
    static void getUnit(int year, int months, int days)
    {
        ChronoPeriod period = Period.of(year, months, days);
        System.out.println(period.get(ChronoUnit.DAYS));
    }

    // Driver Code
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        int year = 8;
        int months = 5;
        int days = 25;

        getUnit(year, months, days);
    }
}
Output:
25
Program 2: Java
// Java code to show the function get()
// which gives the requested unit

import java.time.*;
import java.time.chrono.*;
import java.time.temporal.ChronoUnit;

public class ChronoPeriodDemo {

    // Function to get requested unit
    static void getUnit(int year, int months, int days)
    {
        ChronoPeriod period = Period.of(year, months, days);
        System.out.println(period.get(ChronoUnit.YEARS));
    }

    // Driver Code
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        int year = 11;
        int months = 3;
        int days = 21;

        getUnit(year, months, days);
    }
}
