Period from() method in Java


An instance of a Period object can be obtained from a Temporal object using the from() method in the Period class in Java. This method requires a single parameter i.e. the TemporalAmount and it returns the Period object that is obtained.

A program that demonstrates this is given as follows

Example

 Live Demo

import java.time.Period;
public class Demo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      int days = 20;
      int months = 11;
      int years = 3;
      Period p = Period.from(Period.of(years, months, days));
      System.out.println("The Period is: " + p);
   }
}

Output

The Period is: P3Y11M20D

Now let us understand the above program.

The instance of the Period object is obtained from the Temporal object using the from() method and then it is displayed. A code snippet that demonstrates this is as follows:

int days = 20;
int months = 11;
int years = 3;
Period p = Period.from(Period.of(years, months, days));
System.out.println("The Period is: " + p);
