Below programs illustrate the YearMonth.plusMonths() method in Java:
Program 1:
// Program to illustrate the plusMonths() method import java.util.*; import java.time.*; public class GfG { public static void main(String[] args) { LocalDateTime dt1 = LocalDateTime .parse( "2018-01-11T10:15:30" ); System.out.println( "LocalDateTime with 15 months added: " + dt1.plusMonths( 15 )); } } |
LocalDateTime with 15 months added: 2019-04-11T10:15:30
Program 2:
// Program to illustrate the plusMonths() method import java.util.*; import java.time.*; public class GfG { public static void main(String[] args) { LocalDateTime dt1 = LocalDateTime .parse( "2018-01-11T08:15:30" ); System.out.println( "LocalDateTime with -2 months added: " + dt1.plusMonths(- 2 )); } } |
LocalDateTime with -2 months added: 2017-11-11T08:15:30
