Calculating number of months between two OffsetDateTimes

Question

I am using java 8 and I'm trying to calculate the amount of months between two OffsetDateTime objects. What is the best way to do this?

Answer 1

Without more details, the standard way would be:

long months = ChronoUnit.MONTHS.between(odt1, odt2);

Answer 2

the most comprehensible way (IMO) is to use ChronoUnit

        OffsetDateTime odt1 = OffsetDateTime.now();
        OffsetDateTime odt2 = odt1.plusMonths(10);
        System.out.println(ChronoUnit.MONTHS.between(odt1, odt2));
