AddDate() function in Golang

Problem Solution:

In this program, we will create two date objects and then we add date values using the AddDate() function and print the result on the console screen.

Program/Source Code:

The source code to demonstrate the AddDate() function is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.

Golang code to demonstrate the example of AddDate() function

// Golang program to demonstrate the AddDate() function

package main

import "fmt"
import "time"

func main() {
	date1 := time.Date(2020, 2, 5, 0, 0, 0, 0, time.UTC)
	date2 := time.Date(2021, 1, 14, 0, 0, 0, 0, time.UTC)

	//Add date values to the specified date.
	res1 := date1.AddDate(1, 3, 7)
	res2 := date2.AddDate(1, 3, 7)

	fmt.Println("Res1 : ", res1)
	fmt.Println("Res2 : ", res2)
}

Output:

Res1 :  2021-05-12 00:00:00 +0000 UTC
Res2 :  2022-04-21 00:00:00 +0000 UTC

Explanation:

In the above program, we declare the package main. The main package is used to tell the Go language compiler that the package must be compiled and produced the executable file. Here, we imported the fmt package that includes the files of package fmt then we can use a function related to the fmt package.

In the main() function, we created two date objects and then we added the date values to the date objects using the AddDate() function and print the updated date on the console screen.
