import java.time.*;
import java.time.chrono.*;
 
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
 
        // create a ChronoLocalDate object
        ChronoLocalDate zonedlt
            = LocalDate.parse("2018-12-06");
 
        // subtract 30 Days to ChronoLocalDate
        ChronoLocalDate value
            = zonedlt.minus(Period.ofDays(30));
 
        // print result
        System.out.println("ChronoLocalDate after"
                           + " subtracting Days: "
