The ofEpochMilli() method of Instant class helps to get an Instant using milliseconds passed as parameter from the epoch of 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z. This returned milliseconds is used to get the different time units like seconds, etc by conversion.
Syntax:
public static Instant
ofEpochMilli(long epochMilli)
Parameters: This method accepts one parameter epochMilli is value of milliseconds from 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z.
Returns: This method returns Instant as the time from the Epoch as milliseconds.
Exception: This method throws DateTimeException if the result exceeds the maximum or minimum instant.
Below programs illustrate the ofEpochMilli() method:
Program 1:
import java.time.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
long milliseconds
= 999999000 ;
Instant instant
= Instant.ofEpochMilli(milliseconds);
System.out.println( "Instant: "
+ instant);
}
}
|
Output:
Instant: 1970-01-12T13:46:39Z
Program 2:
import java.time.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Instant instant
= Instant.ofEpochMilli(73264271044L);
System.out.println( "Instant: "
+ instant);
}
}
|
Output:
Instant: 1972-04-27T23:11:11.044Z
