YearDemo1.java

import java.time.Year;

public class YearDemo1

{

    public static void main(String[] args)

    {

        Year year1 = Year.of(2017);

        System.out.println("year1 = "+year1);

        Year year2 = Year.of(2014);

        System.out.println("year2 = "+year2);

        /*

         * Parameters:

         * 

         * other - the other year to compare to, not null

         * 

         * Returns:

         * 

         * true if this is after the specified year

         */

        boolean result = year1.isAfter(year2);

        System.out.println(year1+" is after "+year2+" = "+result);

        /*

         * Parameters:

         * 

         * other - the other year to compare to, not null

         * 
         * Returns:

         * 

         * true if this point is before the specified year

         */

        result = year1.isBefore(year2);

        System.out.println(year1+" is before "+year2+" = "+result);

    }

}

Output

year1 = 2017

year2 = 2014

2017 is after 2014 = true

2017 is before 2014 = false

YearDemo2.java

import java.time.Year;

public class YearDemo2

{

    public static void main(String[] args)

    {

        Year year = Year.of(2017);

        /*

         * Returns:

         * 

         * the year, MIN_VALUE to MAX_VALUE

         */

        int yearValue = year.getValue();        

        System.out.println(yearValue);

    }

}
