}
return formatedDate;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Current Date
Date todayDate = new Date();
// Getting the tomorrow date
Date tomorrowDate = getTomorrowDate(todayDate);
// Getting the yesterday date
Date yesterdayDate = getYesterdayDate(todayDate);
// Printing all the results
System.out.println("Yesterday Date is : "+getFormattedDate(yesterdayDate));
System.out.println("Today Date is : "+getFormattedDate(todayDate));
System.out.println("Tomorrow Date is : "+getFormattedDate(tomorrowDate));
}
