Last Updated : 12 May, 2020

The parse(CharSequence text, DateTimeFormatter formatter) method of the MonthDay class in Java is used to get an instance of MonthDay from a text string using a specific formatter. Syntax:

public static MonthDay parse(
    CharSequence text, 
    DateTimeFormatter formatter)

Parameters: This method accepts

text as a parameter to parse and
formatter as a parameter to use.

Return value: This method returns the parsed month-day. Exceptions: This method throws DateTimeParseException if the text cannot be parsed. Below programs illustrate the parse(CharSequence text, DateTimeFormatter formatter) method of MonthDay in Java: Program 1:

Java

// Java program to demonstrate
// MonthDay.parse(CharSequence text,
// DateTimeFormatter formatter) method

import java.time.*;
import java.time.temporal.*;
import java.time.format.*;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // apply ofpattern() method
        // of DateTimeFormatter class
        DateTimeFormatter datetimeformatter
            = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("--MM-dd");

        // apply parse(CharSequence text,
        // DateTimeFormatter formatter) method
        // of MonthDay class
        MonthDay monthday = MonthDay.parse(
            "--05-09", datetimeformatter);

        // print monthday
        // in mm-dd format
        System.out.println("MonthDay: "
                           + monthday);
    }
}

Output:

MonthDay: --05-09

Program 2:

Java

// Java program to demonstrate
// MonthDay.parse(CharSequence text,
// DateTimeFormatter formatter) method

import java.time.*;
import java.time.temporal.*;
import java.time.format.*;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // apply ofpattern() method
        // of DateTimeFormatter class
        DateTimeFormatter datetimeformatter
            = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("--dd-MM");

        // apply parse(CharSequence text,
        // DateTimeFormatter formatter) method
        // of MonthDay class
        MonthDay monthday = MonthDay.parse(
            "--05-09", datetimeformatter);

        // print monthday
        // in dd-mm format
        System.out.println("MonthDay: "
                           + monthday);
    }
}

Output:

MonthDay: --09-05
