The plusDays() method of a LocalDate class in Java is used to add the number of specified day in this LocalDate and return a copy of LocalDate. For example, 2018-12-31 plus one day would result in 2019-01-01. This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.
Syntax:
public LocalDate plusDays(long daysToAdd)
Parameters: This method accepts a single parameter daysToAdd which represents the days to add, may be negative.
Return Value: This method returns a LocalDate based on this date with the days added, not null.
Exception: This method throws DateTimeException if the result exceeds the supported date range.
Below programs illustrate the plusDays() method:
Program 1:
// Java program to demonstrate// LocalDate.plusDays() method import java.time.*; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // create a LocalDate object LocalDate date = LocalDate.parse("2018-11-13"); // print instance System.out.println("LocalDate before" + " adding days: " + date); // add 5 days LocalDate returnvalue = date.plusDays(5); // print result System.out.println("LocalDate after " + " adding days: " + returnvalue); }} |
Output:
LocalDate before adding days: 2018-11-13 LocalDate after adding days: 2018-11-18
Program 2:
// Java program to demonstrate// LocalDate.plusDays() method import java.time.*; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // create a LocalDate object LocalDate date = LocalDate.parse("2018-12-24"); // print instance System.out.println("LocalDate before" + " adding days: " + date); // add 15 days LocalDate returnvalue = date.plusDays(15); // print result System.out.println("LocalDate after " + " adding days: " + returnvalue); }} |
Output:
LocalDate before adding days: 2018-12-24 LocalDate after adding days: 2019-01-08
