Time for an Example:

Let's take an example to add days to a date. Here, we are adding 2 days to date by using the plusDays() method and we get a new date as a result.

import java.time.LocalDate; 
public class DateDemo {
	
	public static void main(String[] args){  
		
		LocalDate localDate = LocalDate.of(2018, 10, 10);
		System.out.println(localDate);
		localDate = localDate.plusDays(2);
		System.out.println("New date : "+localDate);
	}

2018-10-10
New date : 2018-10-12

Time for another Example:

Let's take another example to add the specified days to a date. Here, we are adding 2 days to the current date. we used now() method to get the current date and plusDays() method to get a new date after adding the days.

import java.time.LocalDate; 
public class DateDemo {
	
	public static void main(String[] args){  
		
		LocalDate localDate = LocalDate.now();
		System.out.println(localDate);
		localDate = localDate.plusDays(2);
