A class representing a year and month.

```cpp
class year_month
```

## Construction
```cpp
ETL_CONSTEXPR 
year_month()
```
**Description**  
Default constructor.

---

```cpp
ETL_CONSTEXPR14 
year_month(const etl::chrono::year&  y, 
           const etl::chrono::month& m) 
ETL_NOEXCEPT
```
**Description**  
Construct from month and day.

## Access

```cpp
ETL_NODISCARD
ETL_CONSTEXPR14 
etl::chrono::year year() const 
ETL_NOEXCEPT
```
**Return**  
The year.

---

```cpp
ETL_NODISCARD
ETL_CONSTEXPR14 
etl::chrono::month month() const 
ETL_NOEXCEPT
```
**Return**  
The month.

## Tests

```cpp
ETL_NODISCARD
ETL_CONSTEXPR14 
bool ok() const 
ETL_NOEXCEPT
```
**Return**  
`true` if the year and month is within the valid limits.

---

```cpp
ETL_NODISCARD
ETL_CONSTEXPR14 
int compare(const etl::chrono::year_month& other) const 
ETL_NOEXCEPT
```
**Description**  
If `y < other.y` return `-1`
If `y > other.y` return `1`
If `m < other.m` return `-1`
If `m > other.m` return `1`
Else return `0`

## Non-member mathematical operators

```cpp
ETL_CONSTEXPR14
etl::chrono::year_month operator +(const etl::chrono::year_month& ym,
                                   const etl::chrono::years&      dy)
```
**Description**  
Adds `etl::chrono::years`.

                                   const etl::chrono::year_month& ym) 
ETL_NOEXCEPT
```
**Description**  
Adds `etl::chrono::years`.

---

**Description**  
Adds `etl::chrono::months`.

---

```cpp
ETL_CONSTEXPR14 
etl::chrono::year_month operator -(const etl::chrono::year_month& ym,
                                   const etl::chrono::years&      dy)
