How to Subtract Days From Date in Java 8 and Above

We can make use of the minusDays() methods to subtract days from LocalDate in Java 8 and above.

package org.code2care.examples;

import java.time.LocalDate;
import java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter;

public class SubtractDaysExampleJava8 {

    public static void main(String... args) {

        String dateFormat = "yyyy-MM-dd";
        LocalDate localDate = LocalDate.now();
        int daysToSubtract = 1;

        LocalDate resultDate = localDate.minusDays(daysToSubtract);

        DateTimeFormatter formatter = DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern(dateFormat);
        String formattedResult = resultDate.format(formatter);

        System.out.println("Original Date: " + localDate);
        System.out.println("Date - " + daysToSubtract + " day(s) = " + formattedResult);
    }
}
