Syntax:
public Instant plus(long amountToAdd,
TemporalUnit unit)
Parameters: This method accepts two parameters amountToAdd which is the amount of the unit to add to the result, may be negative and unit which is the unit of the amount to add, not null.
Return value: This method returns Instant based on this instant with the specified amount added.
Below programs illustrate the plus() method:
Program 1:
// Java program to demonstrate// Instant.plus() method import java.time.*;import java.time.temporal.ChronoUnit; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // create an Instant object Instant instant = Instant.parse("2018-12-30T19:34:50.63Z"); // add 30 DAYS to Instant Instant value = instant.plus(30, ChronoUnit.DAYS); // print result System.out.println("Instant after adding 30 DAYS: " + value); }} |
Instant after adding 30 DAYS: 2019-01-29T19:34:50.630Z
plus(TemporalAmount amountToAdd)
plus() method of a Instant class used to return a copy of this instant with the specified amount added to date-time.The amount is typically Period or Duration but may be any other type implementing the TemporalAmount interface.
Syntax:
public Instant plus(TemporalAmount amountToAdd)
Parameters: This method accepts one single parameter amountToAdd which is the amount to add, It should not be null.
Return value: This method returns Instant based on this instant with the addition made, not null
Below programs illustrate the plus() method:
Program 1:
// Java program to demonstrate// Instant.plus() method import java.time.*;public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // create a Instant object Instant inst = Instant.parse("2018-12-30T19:34:50.63Z"); // add 20 Days to Instant Instant value = inst.plus(Period.ofDays(10)); // print result System.out.println("Instant after adding Days: " + value); }} |
