ofDays()
is a static method of the Period
class which is used to get an instance of the Period
class representing the number of days. The number of days in the resultant period will be as specified. The value for years and months will be zero.
The ofDays
method is defined in the Period
class. The Period
class is defined in the java.time
package. To import the Period
class, we use the following statement:
import java.time.Period;
public static Period ofDays(int days)
int days
: The number of days. It can be positive or negative.This method returns an instance of the Period
class.
In the code below, we create two Period
class objects with a positive and negative number of days. Then we print the objects to the console.
import java.time.Period;public class Main{public static void main(String[] args) {int numDays = 13;Period period = Period.ofDays(numDays);System.out.println("Positive number of days - " + period);numDays = -13;period = Period.ofDays(numDays);System.out.println("Negative number of days - " + period);}}
