I have a dataset

    id   date        y 
    8  2017-03-03    2
    7  2012-02-01    8

I want to add the number y to the date. and y is a number of year :

    id   date         
    8  2019-03-03    
    7  2020-02-01

I tried with this date :

tmp <- as.POSIXlt(date)
tmp$year <- tmp$year + y 
date <- format(tmp)
But it's not at all the good value. 

Thank you,

`library(lubridate); df$date + years(df$y)` – Ronak Shah Mar 28 '18 at 08:47
Thank you, but it doesn't walk to. I have a big value for the year. – Naï Mar 28 '18 at 09:18
It works for your given example. If you have different example then the one showed please edit your question with the new example so that we can reproduce the issue. – Ronak Shah Mar 28 '18 at 09:22
