```
public static Month[] values()
```
    Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:
```
for (Month c : Month.values())
    System.out.println(c);
```
    Returns:
    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static Month valueOf(String name)
```
    Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
    
    Parameters:
    name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
    
    Returns:
    the enum constant with the specified name
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
    
    NullPointerException - if the argument is null
  - valueOf
```
public static Month valueOf(int month)
```
    Gets the enum-constant which corresponds to the given numerical value.
    
    Parameters:
    month - gregorian month in the range [1-12]
    
    Returns:
    month of year as enum
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if given argument is out of range
  - getValue
```
public int getValue()
```
    Liefert den korrespondierenden kalendarischen Integer-Wert.
    
    Returns:
    number of month in the range [1-12]
  - getQuarterOfYear
```
public Quarter getQuarterOfYear()
```
    Calculates the corresponding quarter of year.
    
    Returns:
    quarter of year
  - atStartOfQuarterYear
```
public static Month atStartOfQuarterYear(Quarter quarterOfYear)
```
    Gets the first month of given quarter of year.
    
    Returns:
    first month in given quarteryear
  - atEndOfQuarterYear
```
public static Month atEndOfQuarterYear(Quarter quarterOfYear)
```
    Gets the last month of given quarter of year.
    
    Returns:
    last month in given quarteryear
  - getLength
```
public int getLength(int year)
```
    Calculates the maximum length of this month in days dependent on given year (taking into account leap years).
    
    Parameters:
    year - proleptic iso year
    
    Returns:
    length of month in days
  - next
```
public Month next()
```
    Rolls to the next month.
    
    The result is January if applied on December.
    
    Returns:
    next month (rolling at December)
  - previous
```
public Month previous()
```
    Rolls to the previous month.
    
    The result is December if applied on January.
    
    Returns:
    previous month (rolling at January)
  - roll
```
public Month roll(int months)
```
    Rolls this month by given amount of months.
    
    Parameters:
    months - count of months (maybe negative)
    
    Returns:
    result of rolling operation
  - getDisplayName
```
public String getDisplayName(Locale locale)
```
    Equivalent to the expression getDisplayName(locale, TextWidth.WIDE, OutputContext.FORMAT).
    
    Parameters:
    locale - language setting
    
    Returns:
    descriptive text (long form, never null)
    See Also:
    getDisplayName(Locale, TextWidth, OutputContext)
  - getDisplayName
```
public String getDisplayName(Locale locale,
                    TextWidth width,
                    OutputContext context)
```
    Gets the description text dependent on the locale and style parameters.
    
    The second argument controls the width of description while the third argument is only relevant for languages which make a difference between stand-alone forms and embedded text forms (does not matter in English).
    
    Parameters:
    locale - language setting
    width - text width
    context - output context
    
    Returns:
    descriptive text for given locale and style (never null)
  - test
```
public boolean test(GregorianDate context)
```
    Description copied from interface: ChronoCondition
    Decides if given context matches this condition.
    
    Due to better readability it is recommended to use following equivalent approach instead of this method::
```
  import static net.time4j.Weekday.SATURDAY;
  import static net.time4j.Month.JANUARY;

  PlainDate date = PlainDate.of(2014, JANUARY, 25);
  System.out.println(SATURDAY.test(date)); // direct use
  System.out.println(date.matches(SATURDAY)); // recommended callback
 
```
    Specified by:
    
    test in interface ChronoCondition<GregorianDate>
    
    Parameters:
    context - context as base of testing this condition
    
    Returns:
    true if given time context matches this condition else false
