Last Updated :

The minusDays() method of LocalDate class in Java is used to subtract the number of specified day from this LocalDate and return a copy of LocalDate.For example, 2019-01-01 minus one day would result in 2018-12-31. This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.
Syntax:
public LocalDate minusDays(long daysToSubtract)
Parameters: This method accepts a single parameter daysToSubtract which represents the days to subtract, may be negative.
Return value: This method returns a LocalDate based on this date with the days subtracted, not null.
Exception: This method throws DateTimeException if the result exceeds the supported date range.
Below programs illustrate the minusDays() method:
Program 1:
import java.time.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
LocalDate date
= LocalDate.parse( "2018-11-13" );
System.out.println( "LocalDate before"
+ " subtracting days: " + date);
LocalDate returnvalue
= date.minusDays( 17 );
System.out.println( "LocalDate after "
+ " subtracting days: " + returnvalue);
}
}
|
Output:
LocalDate before subtracting days: 2018-11-13
LocalDate after subtracting days: 2018-10-27
Program 2:
import java.time.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
LocalDate date
= LocalDate.parse( "2018-12-24" );
System.out.println( "LocalDate before"
+ " subtracting days: " + date);
LocalDate returnvalue
= date.minusDays(- 15 );
System.out.println( "LocalDate after "
+ " subtracting days: " + returnvalue);
}
}

Output:
LocalDate before subtracting days: 2018-12-24
LocalDate after subtracting days: 2019-01-08
