How to print yesterday date in Golang

// Golang program to print yesterday date

package main

import "fmt"
import "time"

func main() {
	today := time.Now()
	yesterday := today.AddDate(0, 0, -1)

	fmt.Printf("Today    : %02d-%02d-%04d\n", today.Day(), today.Month(), today.Year())
	fmt.Printf("Yesterday : %02d-%02d-%04d", yesterday.Day(), yesterday.Month(), yesterday.Year())
}

In the above program, we imported the fmt package, which contains the files of the fmt package, and then we can use a function related to the fmt package. Here, we got today’s date using the Now() function and subtract 1 day from today’s date using the AddDate() function by specifying -1 as a day value
