The isBefore() method of OffsetTime class in Java formats checks if the passed time is before the specified time in the parameter.

Syntax:

public boolean isBefore(OffsetTime other)

Parameter: This method accepts a single mandatory parameter other which specifies the time to be compared with.

Return Value: It returns true if the date is before the passed date, else it return false.

Below programs illustrate the isBefore() method:

Program 1 :




// Java program to demonstrate the isBefore() method
import java.time.OffsetTime;
  
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        // Parses the time
        OffsetTime time1
            = OffsetTime.parse("15:30:30+07:00");
  
        // Parses the time
        OffsetTime time2
            = OffsetTime.parse("15:20:30+07:00");
  
        // gets the time1
        System.out.println("time1: "
                           + time1);
  
        // gets the time2
        System.out.println("time1: "
                           + time2);
  
        System.out.println("time1 is before time2: "
                           + time1.isBefore(time2));
    }
}


Output:

time1: 15:30:30+07:00
time1: 15:20:30+07:00
time1 is before time2: false

Program 2 :




// Java program to demonstrate the isBefore() method
  
import java.time.OffsetTime;
  
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        // Parses the time
        OffsetTime time1
            = OffsetTime.parse("15:30:30+07:00");
  
        // Parses the time
        OffsetTime time2
            = OffsetTime.parse("15:30:30+07:00");
  
        // gets the time1
        System.out.println("time1: "
                           + time1);
  
        // gets the time2
        System.out.println("time1: "
                           + time2);
  
        System.out.println("time1 is before time2: "
                           + time1.isBefore(time2));
    }
}


Output:

time1: 15:30:30+07:00
time1: 15:30:30+07:00
time1 is before time2: false
