Duration get(TemporalUnit) method in Java with Examples

The get(TemporalUnit) method of Duration Class in java.time package is used to get the value of the unit passed as the parameter. Only units SECONDS and NANOS ate supported by this method and the rest result in exception.

Syntax:

public long get(TemporalUnit unit)

Parameters: This method accepts a parameter unit which is the TemporalUnit for which the value is to be fetched.

Return Value: This method returns a long value of the unit passed as the parameter.

Exception: This method throws:

• DateTimeException: if the unit is not supported.
• UnsupportedTemporalTypeException: if the unit is not supported.

Below examples illustrate the Duration.get() method:

Example 1:

// Java code to illustrate get() method

import java.time.Duration;
import java.time.temporal.*;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // Get the text
        String time = "P2DT3H4M";

        // Duration using parse() method
        Duration duration = Duration.parse(time);

        // Duration using get() method
        long getSeconds
            = duration.get(ChronoUnit.SECONDS);

        System.out.println("Seconds: "
                           + getSeconds);

        // Duration using get() method
        long getNanos
            = duration.get(ChronoUnit.NANOS);

        System.out.println("Nanos: "
                           + getNanos);
    }
}

Output:

Seconds: 183840
Nanos: 0

Example 2:

// Java code to illustrate get() method

import java.time.Duration;
import java.time.temporal.*;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // Get the text
        String time = "P2DT3H4M";

        // Duration using parse() method
        Duration duration
            = Duration.parse(time);

        try {
            // Duration using get() method
            long getMinutes
                = duration.get(ChronoUnit.MINUTES);
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println("Exception: " + e);
        }
    }
}

Output:

Exception:
 java.time.temporal.UnsupportedTemporalTypeException:
 Unsupported unit: Minutes
