LocalDateDemo1.java

import java.time.LocalDate;

public class LocalDateDemo1
{

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        LocalDate date = LocalDate.now();
        System.out.println("date = " + date);

        /*
         * Parameters:
         *
         * monthsToSubtract - the months to subtract, may be negative
         *
         * Returns:a LocalDate based on this date with the months
         * subtracted, not null
         */
        LocalDate dateAfterMonthChanged = date.minusMonths(2);
        System.out.println("dateAfterMonthChanged = " + dateAfterMonthChanged);

        /*
         * Parameters:
         *
         * yearsToSubtract - the years to subtract, may be negative
         *
         * Returns:a LocalDate based on this date with the years
         * subtracted, not null
         */
        LocalDate dateAfterYearChanged = date.minusYears(3);
        System.out.println("dateAfterYearChanged = " + dateAfterYearChanged);
    }

}

Output

date = 2018-01-04
dateAfterMonthChanged = 2017-11-04
dateAfterYearChanged = 2015-01-04

         * added, not null
         */
        LocalDate dateAfterMonthChanged = date.plusMonths(2);
        System.out.println("dateAfterMonthChanged = " + dateAfterMonthChanged);

        /*
         * Parameters:
         *
         * yearsToAdd - the years to add, may be negative
         *
         * Returns:a LocalDate based on this date with the years

        LocalDate dateAfterYearChanged = date.plusYears(5);
        System.out.println("dateAfterYearChanged = " + dateAfterYearChanged);
    }

}

Output

date = 2018-01-04
dateAfterMonthChanged = 2018-03-04
dateAfterYearChanged = 2023-01-04
