Modifies the time point * this represents by the duration dy or dm .

1) Equivalent to * this = * this + dy ; .
2) Equivalent to * this = * this + dm ; .
3) Equivalent to * this = * this - dy ; .
4) Equivalent to * this = * this - dm ; .

For durations that are convertible to both std::chrono::years and std::chrono::months , the years overloads (1,3) are preferred if the call would otherwise be ambiguous.

Example

#include <cassert>
#include <chrono>
 
int main()
{
    auto ym{std::chrono::day(1)/7/2023};
 
    ym -= std::chrono::years{2};
    assert(ym.month() == std::chrono::July);
    assert(ym.year() == std::chrono::year(2021));
 
    ym += std::chrono::months{7};
    assert(ym.month() == std::chrono::month(2));
    assert(ym.year() == std::chrono::year(2022));
}
