Instant minusSeconds() method in Java with Examples
The minusSeconds() method of Instant class subtracts specified second value from this instant and return the result as an instant object. This instant is immutable.
Syntax:
public Instant minusSeconds(long secondsToSubtract)
Parameters: This method accepts one parameter secondsToSubtract which is seconds to be subtracted.
Returns: This method returns Instant after subtraction of seconds.
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 minusSeconds() method:
Program 1:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate // Instant.minusSeconds() method import java.time.*; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // create a Instant object Instant instant = Instant.parse( "2018-10-30T09:05:55.13Z" ); // current Instant System.out.println( "Initialize instant: " + instant); // subtract 4300 seconds from this instant Instant returnedValue = instant.minusSeconds( 4300 ); // print result System.out.println( "Returned Instant: " + returnedValue); } } |
Output
Initialize instant: 2018-10-30T09:05:55.130Z Returned Instant: 2018-10-30T07:54:15.130Z
Program 2:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate // Instant.minusSeconds() method import java.time.*; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // create a Instant object Instant instant = Instant.now(); // current Instant System.out.println( "Current instant: " + instant); // subtract 54000 from this instant Instant returnedValue = instant.minusSeconds( 54000 ); // print result System.out.println( "Returned Instant: " + returnedValue); } } |
Output:
Current instant: 2018-11-27T06:44:04.901Z Returned Instant: 2018-11-26T15:44:04.901Z
