ThaiBuddhistDate minus(long, TemporalUnit) method in Java

The minus() method of java.time.chrono.ThaiBuddhistDate class is used to get the ThaiBuddhist date after subtracting an amount of temporal accessor unit from the current ThaiBuddhist date.

Syntax:

public ThaiBuddhistDate minus(
           long amountToSubtract,
           TemporalUnit unit)

Parameter: This method takes the following argument as a parameter: 

• amountToSubtract: This is the value of temporal unit which is going to subtract from the current ThaiBuddhist date.
• unit: The object of temporal unit or chrono unit.

Return Value: This method returns the ThaiBuddhist date after subtracting an amount of temporal accessor unit from current ThaiBuddhist 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
            // ThaiBuddhistDate Object
            ThaiBuddhistDate hidate
                = ThaiBuddhistDate.now();

            // Display the result
            System.out.println(
                "Old ThaiBuddhist date: "
                + hidate);

            // Subtracting ThaiBuddhist date
            // by using minus() method
            ThaiBuddhistDate newdate
                = hidate.minus(
                    22, ChronoUnit.DAYS);

            // Display the result
            System.out.println(
                "New ThaiBuddhist date: "
                + newdate);
        }
        catch (DateTimeException e) {

            System.out.println(
                "Passed parameter can"
                + " not form a date");

            System.out.println(
                "Exception thrown: "
                + e);
        }
    }
}

Output:

Old ThaiBuddhist date: ThaiBuddhist BE 2563-05-03
New ThaiBuddhist date: ThaiBuddhist BE 2563-04-11

                = hidate.minus(
                    4, ChronoUnit.DECADES);

            // Display the result
            System.out.println(
                "New ThaiBuddhist date: "

        }
        catch (DateTimeException e) {

            System.out.println(
                "Passed parameter can"
                + " not form a date");

            System.out.println(
                "Exception thrown: "
                + e);
        }
    }
}

Output:

Old ThaiBuddhist date: ThaiBuddhist BE 2563-05-03
New ThaiBuddhist date: ThaiBuddhist BE 2523-05-03
