The minus() method of java.time.chrono.JapaneseDate class is used to get the Japanese date after subtracting an amount of temporal accessor unit from the current Japanese date.
Syntax:
public JapaneseDate minus(long amountToAdd,
TemporalUnit unit)
Parameter: This method takes the following argument as a parameter:
- amountToSubtract: which is the value of temporal unit which is going to subtracted from the current Japanese date.
- unit: which is the object of temporal unit or chrono unit.
Return Value: This method returns the Japanese date after subtracting an amount of temporal accessor unit from current Japanese 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 // JapaneseDate Object JapaneseDate hidate = JapaneseDate.now(); // Display the result System.out.println("old japanese date: " + hidate); // Subtracting japanese date // by using minus() method JapaneseDate newdate = hidate.minus( 22, ChronoUnit.DAYS); // Display the result System.out.println("new japanese date: " + newdate); } catch (DateTimeException e) { System.out.println("passed parameter can" + " not form a date"); System.out.println("Exception thrown: " + e); } }} |
Output:
old japanese date: Japanese Heisei 32-03-23 new japanese date: Japanese Heisei 32-03-01
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 { // Creating and initializing // JapaneseDate Object JapaneseDate hidate = JapaneseDate.now(); // Display the result System.out.println("old japanese date: " + hidate); // Subtracting japanese date // by using minus() method JapaneseDate newdate = hidate.minus( 4, ChronoUnit.DECADES); // Display the result System.out.println("new japanese date: " + newdate); } catch (DateTimeException e) { System.out.println("passed parameter can" + " not form a date"); System.out.println("Exception thrown: " + e); } }} |
Output:
old japanese date: Japanese Heisei 32-03-23 new japanese date: Japanese Showa 55-03-23
