java.time.Clock.tickSeconds(ZoneId zone) method is a static method of Clock class that returns a clock that returns the current instant ticking in whole Seconds using the best available system clock and zone of instant is same as the instant passed as a parameter.
The returned clock is also immutable, thread-safe, and Serializable and this method is equivalent to tick(system(zone), Duration.ofSeconds(1)).
Syntax:
public static Clock tickSeconds(ZoneId zone)
Parameters: This method takes a mandatory parameter zone, which is the time-zone to use to round off instant of a clock in the whole Second.
Return Value: This method returns a clock that returns the current instant ticking in whole Second with zone same as zone passed as parameter.
Example:
Code: ZoneId zoneId = ZoneId.of("Asia/Calcutta"); Clock clock = Clock.tickSeconds(zoneId); System.out.println(clock.instant()); Output: 2018-08-21T20:22:32Z Explanation:: method tickSeconds() returns the instant which ticks in a whole Second means nanosecond field is zero.
Below programs illustrates tickSeconds() method of java.time.Clock class:
Program 1; When Clock is created with Zone Kolkata and printing instant of the clock ticking in whole Second.
// Java program to demonstrate // tickSeconds() method of Clock class import java.time.*;
// create class public class tickSecondsMethodDemo {
// Main method
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Zone Id with Zone Asia/Calcutta
ZoneId zoneId = ZoneId.of( "Asia/Calcutta" );
// create a clock which ticks in the whole Second
Clock clock = Clock.tickSeconds(zoneId);
// print instance of clock
System.out.println(clock.instant());
}

Program 2: Print the date and Time of clock with zone Europe/Paris and clock ticks per whole Second.
// Java program demonstrate // tickSeconds() method of Clock class import java.time.*;
// create class public class tickSecondsMethodDemo {
// Main method
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Zone Id with Zone Europe/Paris
ZoneId zoneId = ZoneId.of( "Europe/Paris" );
// create a clock which ticks in the whole Second
Clock clock = Clock.tickSeconds(zoneId);
// get ZonedDateTime object to print time
ZonedDateTime time = clock
.instant()
.atZone(clock.getZone());
// print time variable value
System.out.println( "Date and Time :" + time);
}
