In this tutorial, you will learn how to subtract days from date.
Using the Calendar class, you can add and subtract date with the add() method. To subtract date, value should be passed with negative(-). This will reduce date from date. Here, we are going to subtract few days from current date and return the date of that day. For this, we have created a calendar instance and get a date to represent the current date. Then using the method add() of Calendar class, we have subtracted 4 days from the calendar and using the Date class, we have got the date of that day.
Example:
import java.util.*;
public class SubtractDaysFromDate{
public static void main(String[] args) {
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
Date today = calendar.getTime();
System.out.println("Today's Date: " + today);
calendar.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_YEAR, -4);
Date datedays = calendar.getTime();
System.out.println("Date before 4 days: " + datedays);
}
}
Output:
Today's Date: Fri Oct 12 12:39:55 IST 2012 Date before 4 days: Mon Oct 08 12:39:55 IST 2012
