Explanation

In the above program, we created a module Module1 that contains the Main() function. The Main() function is the entry point for the program.

In the Main() function, we created two objects of the DateTime class. Here, object today is initialized with the current date using DateTime.Now property and then we subtract timespan from the object today and get yesterday's date and print the result on the console screen.
