Below programs illustrate the minusYears() method:
Program 1:
// Java program to demonstrate// Year.minusYears() method  import java.time.*;import java.time.temporal.*;  public class GFG {    public static void main(String[] args)    {        // create a Year object        Year year = Year.of(2019);          // print instance        System.out.println("Year :"                           + year);          // apply minusYears method        Year value            = year.minusYears(20);          // print result        System.out.println("After subtraction year: "                           + value);    }} |
Output:
Year :2019 After subtraction year: 1999
Program 2:
// Java program to demonstrate// Year.minusYears() method  import java.time.*;import java.time.temporal.*;  public class GFG {    public static void main(String[] args)    {        // create a Year object        Year year = Year.of(2019);          // print instance        System.out.println("Year :"                           + year);          // apply minusYears method        Year value            = year.minusYears(1200);          // print result        System.out.println("After subtraction year: "                           + value);    }} |
Output:
Year :2019 After subtraction year: 819
