Java Date Time - DayOfWeek.minus() Examples

Java Date Time Java Java API

Class:

java.time.DayOfWeek

Method:


public DayOfWeek minus(long days)

Returns the day-of-week subtracted by specified number of days

If the specified number is more than 7 then the calculation rolls around.

If the specified number is negative then days are added rather than being subtracted.

Examples:

package com.logicbig.example.dayofweek;

import java.time.DayOfWeek;

public class MinusExample {
    public static void main (String[] args) {
        DayOfWeek d = DayOfWeek.MONDAY.minus(4);
        System.out.println(d);

        d = DayOfWeek.MONDAY.minus(20);
        System.out.println(d);

        d = DayOfWeek.MONDAY.minus(-2);
        System.out.println(d);
    }
}

Output

THURSDAY
TUESDAY
WEDNESDAY
