LocalTime toString() method in Java with Examples

The toString() method of LocalTime class is used to represents this time as a String, such as 20:15:34.111.

Following ISO-8601 formats are used for representation:

• HH:mm
• HH:mm:ss
• HH:mm:ss.SSS
• HH:mm:ss.SSSSSS
• HH:mm:ss.SSSSSSSSS

This method is derived from the Object Class and behaves in a similar way.

Syntax:

public String toString()

Parameters: This method accepts no parameter.

Return value: This method returns a String representation of this LocalTime.

Below programs illustrate the toString() method:

Program 1:

// Java program to demonstrate
// LocalTime.toString() method

import java.time.*;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // create a LocalTime object
        LocalTime time
            = LocalTime.parse("19:34:50.63");

        // print LocalTime
        System.out.println("LocalTime : "
                           + time.toString());
    }
}

Output:

LocalTime : 19:34:50.630

Program 2:

// Java program to demonstrate
// LocalTime.toString() method

import java.time.*;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // create a LocalTime object
        LocalTime time
            = LocalTime.parse("01:00:01");

        // print LocalTime
        System.out.println("Old LocalTime: "
                           + time.toString());

        // add 600 Minutes using plusMinutes()
        LocalTime value = time.plusMinutes(600);

        // print result
        System.out.println("New LocalTime: "
                           + value.toString());
    }
}

Output:

Old LocalTime: 01:00:01
New LocalTime: 11:00:01
