The minus() method of java.time.chrono.HijrahDate class is used to get the hijrah date after subtracting an amount of temporal accessor unit from the current hijrah date.
Syntax:
public HijrahDate minus(long amountToSubtract, TemporalUnit unit)
Parameter: This method takes the following argument as a parameter:
- amountToSubtract: which is the value of temporal unit which is going to subtract from the current hijrah date.
- unit: which is the object of temporal unit or chrono unit.
Return Value: This method returns the Hijrah date after subtracting an amount of temporal accessor unit from current Hijrah date.
Below are the examples to illustrate the minus() method:
Example 1:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate minus() method import 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
// HijrahDate Object
HijrahDate hidate = HijrahDate.now();
// Display the result
System.out.println( "old hijrah date: "
+ hidate);
// Subtracting hijrah date
// by using minus() method
HijrahDate newdate
= hidate.minus(
22 , ChronoUnit.DAYS);
// Display the result
System.out.println( "new hijrah date: "
+ newdate);
}
catch (DateTimeException e) {
System.out.println( "passed parameter can"
+ " not form a date" );
System.out.println( "Exception thrown: "
+ e);
}
}
} |
Output:
old hijrah date: Hijrah-umalqura AH 1441-06-25 new hijrah date: Hijrah-umalqura AH 1441-06-03
Example 2:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate minus() method import 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 {
// Dreating and initializing
// HijrahDate Object
HijrahDate hidate
= HijrahDate.now();
// Display the result
System.out.println( "old hijrah date: "
+ hidate);
// Subtracting hijrah date
// by using minus() method
HijrahDate newdate
= hidate.minus(
4 , ChronoUnit.DECADES);
// Display the result
System.out.println( "new hijrah date: "
+ newdate);
}
catch (DateTimeException e) {
System.out.println( "passed parameter can"
+ " not form a date" );
System.out.println( "Exception thrown: "
+ e);
}
}
} |
Output:
old hijrah date: Hijrah-umalqura AH 1441-06-25 new hijrah date: Hijrah-umalqura AH 1401-06-25
