public OffsetDateTime minusDays(long days)

Examples


package com.logicbig.example.offsetdatetime;

import java.time.LocalDateTime;
import java.time.OffsetDateTime;
import java.time.ZoneOffset;

public class MinusDaysExample {

public static void main(String... args) {
    OffsetDateTime d = OffsetDateTime.of(LocalDateTime.of(2011, 10, 3,
                                                          14, 30),
                                         ZoneOffset.ofHours(-4));
    System.out.println(d);

    OffsetDateTime d2 = d.minusDays(5);
    System.out.println(d2);

}
}

Output
