/*Substract Day/Month/Year to a Date
roll() is used to substract values to a Calendar object.
You specify which Calendar field is to be affected by the operation
(Calendar.YEAR, Calendar.MONTH, Calendar.DATE).

Note: To substract, simply use a negative argument.
    roll() does the same thing except you specify if you want to roll up (add 1)
    or roll down (substract 1) to the specified Calendar field. The operation only
    affects the specified field while add() adjusts other Calendar fields.
    See the following example, roll() makes january rolls to december in the same
    year while add() substract the YEAR field for the correct result
