The minusNanos(long) method of Duration Class in java.time package is used to get an immutable copy of this duration with the specified number of nano-seconds subtracted, passed as the parameter.
Syntax: 
 

public Duration minusNanos(long numberOfNanos)

Parameters: This method accepts a parameter numberOfNanos which is the number of nano-seconds to be subtracted. It can be positive or negative but not null.
Return Value: This method returns a Duration which is an immutable copy of the existing duration with the parameter amount of nano-seconds subtracted to it.
Exception: This method throws ArithmeticException if numeric overflow occurs.
Below examples illustrate the Duration.minusNanos() method:
Example 1:
 

Java




// Java code to illustrate minusNanos() method
 
import java.time.Duration;
 
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
 
        // Duration 1 using parse() method
        Duration duration1
            = Duration.parse("P2DT3H4M");
 
        // Get the duration subtracted
        // using minusNanos() method
        System.out.println(duration1.minusNanos(2));
    }
}


Output: 

PT51H3M59.999999998S

 

Example 2:
 

Java




// Java code to illustrate minusNanos() method
 
import java.time.Duration;
 
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
 
        // Duration 1 using parse() method
        Duration duration1
            = Duration.parse("P0DT0H4M");
 
        // Get the duration subtracted
        // using minusNanos() method
        System.out.println(duration1.minusNanos(5));
    }
}


Output: 

PT3M59.999999995S
