Below programs illustrate the plus(long, unit) method:

Program 1:

// Java program to demonstrate 
// Year.plus(long, unit) 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 plus(long, unit) method 
        // adding 30 years 
        Year value 
            = year.plus(30, ChronoUnit.YEARS); 
  
        // print result 
        System.out.println("After addition year: "
                           + value); 
    } 
} 

Output:

Year :2019
After addition year: 2049

Program 2:

// Java program to demonstrate 
// Year.plus(long, unit) 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(2022); 
  
        // print instance 
        System.out.println("Year :"
                           + year); 
  
        // apply plus(long, unit) method 
        // adding 50 years 
        Year value 
            = year.plus(50, ChronoUnit.YEARS); 
  
        // print result 
        System.out.println("After addition year: "
                           + value); 
    } 
}
