The minus() method of java.time.chrono.HijrahDate class is used to get the hijrah date after subtracting an amount of temporal accessor unit from the current hijrah date.
Syntax:
public HijrahDate minus(long amountToSubtract,
TemporalUnit unit)
Parameter: This method takes the following argument as a parameter:
- amountToSubtract: which is the value of temporal unit which is going to subtract from the current hijrah date.
- unit: which is the object of temporal unit or chrono unit.
Return Value: This method returns the Hijrah date after subtracting an amount of temporal accessor unit from current Hijrah date.
Below are the examples to illustrate the minus() method:
Example 1:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate minus() methodimport java.util.*;import java.io.*;import java.time.*;import java.time.chrono.*;import java.time.temporal.*;public class GFG { public static void main(String[] argv) { try { // Creating and initializing // HijrahDate Object HijrahDate hidate = HijrahDate.now(); // Display the result System.out.println("old hijrah date: " + hidate); // Subtracting hijrah date // by using minus() method HijrahDate newdate = hidate.minus( 22, ChronoUnit.DAYS); // Display the result System.out.println("new hijrah date: " + newdate); } catch (DateTimeException e) { System.out.println("passed parameter can" + " not form a date"); System.out.println("Exception thrown: " + e); } }} |
Output:
old hijrah date: Hijrah-umalqura AH 1441-06-25 new hijrah date: Hijrah-umalqura AH 1441-06-03
Example 2:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate minus() methodimport java.util.*;import java.io.*;import java.time.*;import java.time.chrono.*;import java.time.temporal.*;public class GFG { public static void main(String[] argv) { try { // Dreating and initializing // HijrahDate Object HijrahDate hidate = HijrahDate.now(); // Display the result System.out.println("old hijrah date: " + hidate); // Subtracting hijrah date // by using minus() method HijrahDate newdate = hidate.minus( 4, ChronoUnit.DECADES); // Display the result System.out.println("new hijrah date: " + newdate); } catch (DateTimeException e) { System.out.println("passed parameter can" + " not form a date"); System.out.println("Exception thrown: " + e); } }} |
Output:
old hijrah date: Hijrah-umalqura AH 1441-06-25 new hijrah date: Hijrah-umalqura AH 1401-06-25
