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);
}
} |
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
