minusNanos() method of Instant class subtracts nanoseconds value passed as parameter from this instant and return the result as an instant object. This returned Instant is immutable.
Syntax:
public Instant minusNanos(long nanosToSubtract)
Parameters: This method accepts one parameter nanosToSubtract which is nanoseconds to be subtracted.
Returns: This method returns Instant after subtraction of nanoseconds.
Exception: This method throws following exceptions:
- DateTimeException: if the result exceeds the maximum or minimum instant.
- ArithmeticException: if numeric overflow occurs.
Below programs illustrate the minusNanos() method:
Program 1:
Java
import java.time.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Instant instant
= Instant.parse( "2018-12-30T19:34:50.63Z" );
System.out.println( "Initialize instant: "
+ instant);
Instant returnedValue
= instant.minusNanos( 430000000 );
System.out.println( "Returned Instant: "
+ returnedValue);
}
}
|
Output
Initialize instant: 2018-12-30T19:34:50.630Z
Returned Instant: 2018-12-30T19:34:50.200Z
Program 2:
Java
import java.time.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Instant instant = Instant.now();
System.out.println( "Current instant: "
+ instant);
Instant returnedValue
= instant.minusNanos( 540000000 );
System.out.println( "Returned Instant: "
+ returnedValue);
}
}

Output:
Current instant: 2018-11-27T06:43:58.495Z
Returned Instant: 2018-11-27T06:43:57.955Z
