import java.time.temporal.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Year year = Year.of( 2019 );
System.out.println( "Year :"
+ year);
Year value
= year.minus(
Period.ofYears( 40 ));
System.out.println( "Value after Subtraction: "
+ value);
}
}

Year :2019
Value after Subtraction: 1979
Program 2:
import java.time.*;
import java.time.temporal.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Year year = Year.of( 2019 );
System.out.println( "Year :"
+ year);
Year value
= year.minus(
