minus(TemporalAmount) method of a ChronoLocalDate interface used to returns a copy of this ChronoLocalDate with the specified amount subtracted to ChronoLocalDate.The amount is typically Period or Duration but may be any other type implementing the TemporalAmount interface.
Syntax:
public ChronoLocalDate minus(TemporalAmount amountTosubtract)
Parameters: This method accepts one single parameter amountTosubtract which is the amount to subtract, It should not be null.
Return value: This method returns ChronoLocalDate based on this date-time with the subtraction made, not null.

- DateTimeException: if the subtraction cannot be made
- ArithmeticException: if numeric overflow occurs
Below programs illustrate the minus() method:
Program 1:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate// ChronoLocalDate.minus() methodimport 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: " + value); }} |
Output:
ChronoLocalDate after subtracting Days: 2018-11-06
