In this article, we will learn to subtract a year from the current date using Java. We will be using the Calender class of java.util package. Calendar class in Java is an abstract class that provides different methods to convert between a specific instant in time and a set of calendar fields such as HOUR, DAY_OF_MONTH, MONTH, YEAR, and so on. It is also used for manipulating the calender field. Steps to subtract year from current date Following are the steps to subtract year from current date − Import the Calendar class from the java.util package. ... Read More

The Calendar class of java.util package provides a method with the name add(). This method accepts current date and amount of time as parameter values. If the given amount of time is positive, it will add it to the current date, and in the case of negative time, it will subtract it. In this article, we will see a few Java programs to add year to the current date using the Calendar.add() method. Example Scenario: Input 1: current_date = Thu Nov 22 18:19:06 UTC 2018 Input 2: year_to_add = 12 Output: new_date = Thu Nov 22 18:19:06 UTC 2030 ... Read More

Import the following package for Calendar class in Javaimport java.util.Calendar;Firstly, create a Calendar object and display the current date and timeCalendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance(); System.out.println("Current Date and Time = " + calendar.getTime());Now, let us increment the weeks using the calendar.add() method and Calendar.WEEK_OF_YEAR constant.calendar.add(Calendar.WEEK_OF_YEAR, 2);The following is an exampleExample Live Demoimport java.util.Calendar; public class Demo {    public static void main(String[] args) {       Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();       System.out.println("Current Date = " + calendar.getTime());       // Adding 2 weeks       calendar.add(Calendar.WEEK_OF_YEAR, 2);       System.out.println("Updated Date = " + calendar.getTime());   ...

Import the following package for Calendar class in Javaimport java.util.Calendar;Firstly, create a Calendar object and display the current date and timeCalendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance(); System.out.println("Current Date and Time = " + calendar.getTime());Now, let us decrement the seconds using the calendar.add() method and Calendar.SECOND constant. Set a negative value since we are decrementingcalendar.add(Calendar.SECOND, -20);The following is an exampleExample Live Demoimport java.util.Calendar; public class Demo {    public static void main(String[] args) {       Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();       System.out.println("Current Date = " + calendar.getTime());       // Subtract 20 seconds from current date       calendar.add(Calendar.SECOND, ...

The Calendar.before() method returns whether this Calendar's time is before the time represented by the specified Object.First, let us set a date which is in the past (past date)Calendar beforeDate = Calendar.getInstance(); beforeDate.set(Calendar.YEAR, 2010); beforeDate.set(Calendar.MONTH, 05); beforeDate.set(Calendar.DATE, 30);Here is our date, which is 11-22-2018Calendar currentDate = Calendar.getInstance();Now, use the before() method to compare both the dates as shown in the following exampleExample Live Demoimport java.util.Calendar; public class Demo {    public static void main(String[] args) {       Calendar beforeDate = Calendar.getInstance();       beforeDate.set(Calendar.YEAR, 2010);       beforeDate.set(Calendar.MONTH, 05);       beforeDate.set(Calendar.DATE, 30);       ...
