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
import java.time.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Instant instant
= Instant.parse( "2018-10-30T09:05:55.13Z" );
System.out.println( "Initialize instant: "
+ instant);
Instant returnedValue
= instant.minusSeconds( 4300 );
System.out.println( "Returned Instant: "
+ returnedValue);
}
}
|
OutputInitialize instant: 2018-10-30T09:05:55.130Z
Returned Instant: 2018-10-30T07:54:15.130Z
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.minusSeconds( 54000 );
System.out.println( "Returned Instant: "
+ returnedValue);
}
}

Output: Current instant: 2018-11-27T06:44:04.901Z
Returned Instant: 2018-11-26T15:44:04.901Z
