OffsetDateTime plusMinutes() method in Java with examples

The plusMinutes() method of OffsetDateTime class in Java returns a copy of this OffsetDateTime with the specified number of minutes added to the parsed date and time.

Syntax:

public OffsetDateTime plusMinutes(long minutes)

Parameter: This method accepts a single parameter minutes which specifies the minutes to be added to the parsed date. It can be negative also, in that case, it subtracts the number of minutes to it.

Return Value: It returns an OffsetDateTime based on this date-time with the minutes added and not null.

Exceptions: The program throws a DateTimeException when it exceeds the supported data and time range.

Below programs illustrate the plusMinutes() method:

Program 1:

// Java program to demonstrate the plusMinutes() method

import java.time.OffsetDateTime;
import java.time.ZonedDateTime;

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

        // Parses the date1
        OffsetDateTime date1
 = OffsetDateTime
.parse(
"2018-12-12T13:30:30+05:00");

        // Prints dates
        System.out.println("Date1: " + date1);

        // Subtracts the number of minutes
        System.out.println("Date1 after adding minutes: "
 + date1.plusMinutes(-120));
    }
}

Output:

Date1: 2018-12-12T13:30:30+05:00
Date1 after adding minutes: 2018-12-12T11:30:30+05:00

Program 2:

// Java program to demonstrate the plusMinutes() method

import java.time.OffsetDateTime;
import java.time.ZonedDateTime;

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

        // Parses the date1
        OffsetDateTime date1
 = OffsetDateTime
.parse(
"2018-12-12T13:30:30+05:00");

        // Prints dates
        System.out.println("Date1: " + date1);

        // Subtracts the number of minutes
        System.out.println("Date1 after adding minutes: "
+ date1.plusMinutes(140));
    }
}

Output:

Date1: 2018-12-12T13:30:30+05:00
Date1 after adding minutes: 2018-12-12T15:50:30+05:00
