Below programs illustrate the parse(CharSequence, DateTimeFormatter) method: Program 1:
// 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);
}
}
Year Parsed:2018
Program 2:
// 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);
}
}
Year Parsed:2087
