Java Program to decrement a Date using the Calendar Class
Import the following package for Calendar class in Java
import java.util.Calendar;
Firstly, create a Calendar object and display the current date
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
System.out.println("Current Date = " + calendar.getTime());Now, let us decrement the date using the add() method and Calendar.DATE constant. Set a negative value since we are decrementing the date
calendar.add(Calendar.DATE, -3);
The following is an example
Example
import java.util.Calendar;
public class Demo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
System.out.println("Current Date = " + calendar.getTime());
// Decrementing date by 3
calendar.add(Calendar.DATE, -3);
System.out.println("Updated Date = " + calendar.getTime());
}
}Output
Current Date = Thu Nov 22 15:55:02 UTC 2018 Updated Date = Mon Nov 19 15:55:02 UTC 2018
