Examples


package com.logicbig.example.localdate;

import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.Period;

public class UntilExample {

    public static void main (String... args) {
        LocalDate d1 = LocalDate.of(1999, 1, 20);
        LocalDate d2 = LocalDate.of(2016, 12, 15);
        Period p = d1.until(d2);
        System.out.println(p);
        System.out.printf("Years: %s, Months: %s, Days: %s%n",
                          p.getYears(), p.getMonths(), p.getDays());

        //alternatively
        Period p2 = Period.between(d1, d2);
        System.out.println(p2);
    }
}
