OffsetTime minusSeconds() method in Java with examples

The minusSeconds() method of OffsetTime class in Java returns a copy of this OffsetTime with the specified Seconds in the parameter getting subtracted.

Syntax :

public OffsetTime minusSeconds(long Seconds)

Parameter: This method accepts a single parameter Seconds which the Seconds to be subtracted. It may be negative.

Return Value: It returns a OffsetTime based on this time with the Seconds subtracted and it is not null.

Below programs illustrate the minusSeconds() method:

Program 1 :

// Java program to demonstrate the minusSeconds() method

import java.time.OffsetTime;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // Parses the time
        OffsetTime time = OffsetTime.parse("11:10:10+05:05");

        // Specified Seconds subtracted
        System.out.println("After subtraction, time is: "
                                   + time.minusSeconds(5));
    }
}

Output:

After subtraction, time is: 11:10:05+05:05

Program 2 :

// Java program to demonstrate the minusSeconds() method

import java.time.OffsetTime;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // Parses the time
        OffsetTime time = OffsetTime.parse("11:10:10+05:05");

        // Specified Seconds subtracted
        System.out.println("After subtraction, time is: "
                                   + time.minusSeconds(-5));
    }
}

Output:

After subtraction, time is: 11:10:15+05:05
