YearMonthDemo.java

import java.time.YearMonth;

public class YearMonthDemo
{

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        YearMonth yearMonth1 = YearMonth.of(2016, 03);
        System.out.println("yearMonth1 = "+yearMonth1);
       
        YearMonth yearMonth2 = YearMonth.of(2017, 03);
        System.out.println("yearMonth2 = "+yearMonth2);
       
        /*
         * Parameters:
         *
         * obj - the object to check, null returns false
         *
         * Returns:
         *
         * true if this is equal to the other year-month
         */
        boolean isEqual = yearMonth1.equals(yearMonth2);
        System.out.println(yearMonth1 + " is equal to " + yearMonth2 + " = " + isEqual);

        /*
         * Parameters:
         *
         * other - the other year-month to compare to, not null
         *
         * Returns:
         *
         * the comparator value, negative if less, positive if greater
         */

        int result = yearMonth1.compareTo(yearMonth2);
        System.out.println(yearMonth1 + " compare to " + yearMonth2 + " = " + result);

    }

}

Output

yearMonth1 = 2016-03
yearMonth2 = 2017-03
2016-03 is equal to 2017-03 = false
2016-03 compare to 2017-03 = -1
