In Go language, time packages supplies functionality for determining as well as viewing time. The Time.Nanosecond() function in Go language is used to find the nanosecond offset within the second as provided by “t” and the range is [0, 999999999]. Moreover, this function is defined under the time package. Here, you need to import “time” package in order to use these functions.

Syntax:

func (t Time) Nanosecond() int

Here, “t” is the stated time.

Return value: It returns the nanosecond offset within the second as provided by “t”.

Example 1:




// Golang program to illustrate the usage of
// Time.Nanosecond() function
  
// Including main package
package main
  
// Importing fmt and time
import "fmt"
import "time"
  
// Calling main
func main() {
  
    // Declaring t in UTC
    t := time.Date(2017, 23, 5, 11,
              51, 04, 30, time.UTC)
  
    // Calling Nanosecond method
    nano := t.Nanosecond()
  
    // Prints nanoseconds as specified
    fmt.Printf("The stated nanoseconds "+
              "specified is: %v\n", nano)
}


Output:

The stated nanoseconds specified is: 30

Example 2:




// Golang program to illustrate the usage of
// Time.Nanosecond() function
  
// Including main package
package main
  
// Importing fmt and time
import "fmt"
import "time"
  
// Calling main
func main() {
  
    // Declaring t in UTC
    t := time.Date(2017, 34, 56, 78,
      87, 97, 687678678685757, time.UTC)
  
    // Calling Nanosecond method
    nano := t.Nanosecond()
  
    // Prints nanoseconds as specified
    fmt.Printf("The stated nanoseconds "+
              "specified is: %v\n", nano)
}


Output:

The stated nanoseconds specified is: 678685757

Here, the nanoseconds stated in the above code are out of usual range but it is normalized while conversion.
