LocalDate plusYears() method in Java with Examples
The plusYears() method of LocalDate class in Java is used to add the number of specified years in this LocalDate and return a copy of LocalDate.
This method adds the years field in the following steps:
- Add the years to the year field.
- Check if the date after adding years is valid or not.
- If date is invalid then method adjust the day-of-month to the last valid day.
For example, 2016-02-29 (leap year) plus one year gives date 2017-02-29 but this is invalid result, so the last valid day of the month, 2017-02-28, is returned.This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.
Syntax:
public LocalDate plusYears(long yearsToAdd)
Parameters: This method accepts a single parameter yearsToAdd which represents the years to add, may be negative.
Return value: This method returns a LocalDate based on this date with the years added, not null.
Exception: This method throws DateTimeException if the result exceeds the supported date range.
Below programs illustrate the plusYears() method:
Program 1:
import java.time.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
LocalDate date
= LocalDate.parse( "2018-11-13" );
System.out.println( "LocalDate before"
+ " adding years: " + date);
LocalDate returnvalue
= date.plusYears( 3 );
System.out.println( "LocalDate after "
+ " adding years: " + returnvalue);
}
}
|
Output:
LocalDate before adding years: 2018-11-13
LocalDate after adding years: 2021-11-13
Program 2:
import java.time.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
LocalDate date
= LocalDate.parse( "2016-02-29" );
System.out.println( "LocalDate before"
+ " adding years: " + date);
LocalDate returnvalue
= date.plusYears( 2 );
System.out.println( "LocalDate after "
+ " adding years: " + returnvalue);
}
}

Output:
LocalDate before adding years: 2016-02-29
LocalDate after adding years: 2018-02-28
