I want to get a date which is n days previous to the current date. I want to do it without using the Calender Objet but just by using java.util.Date.

Can any body please help.

Why do you want to do this without Calendar ?

Date has a constructor taking a long argument which is the number of milliseconds sinse 1.1.1970 (see javadoc). And if you have a Date X where you want to subtract 1 day, then its:
oldDate in millis - 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24

make sure the multiplication does not exceed the int range!

In JavaScript, not in Java?

The forums here are about Java. The JavaScript language is something different than Java, even though the names are similar.

If you have a question about JavaScript, you should ask your question somewhere else, in a forum about JavaScript.

We do have an HTML and Javascript forum here, which the post could be moved to. But Rohit originally asked about Java, then about Javascript. So maybe there is a question about which one Rohit should be using?
