ZoneOffset getRules() method in Java with Examples

The getRules() method of ZoneOffset Class in java.time package is used to get the associated time-zone rules of this ZoneOffset instance. This method takes returns ZoneRules of this ZoneOffset instance.

Syntax:

public ZoneRules getRules()

Parameters: This method do not accepts any parameter.

Return Value: This method returns a ZoneRules which is the ZoneRules associated with this ZoneOffset instance.

Below examples illustrate the ZoneOffset.getRules() method:

Example 1:

// Java code to illustrate getRules() method

import java.time.*;

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

        // Get the ZoneOffset instance
        ZoneOffset zoneOffset
            = ZoneOffset.of("+05:30");
        System.out.println("ZoneOffset: "
                           + zoneOffset);

        // Using getRules() method
        System.out.println("ZoneRules: "
                           + zoneOffset.getRules());
    }
}

Output:

ZoneOffset: +05:30
ZoneRules: ZoneRules[currentStandardOffset=+05:30]

Example 2:

// Java code to illustrate getRules() method

import java.time.*;
import java.time.temporal.*;

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

        // Get the ZoneOffset instance
        ZoneOffset zoneOffset
            = ZoneOffset.of("Z");
        System.out.println("ZoneOffset: "
                           + zoneOffset);

        // Using getRules() method
        System.out.println("ZoneRules: "
                           + zoneOffset.getRules());
    }
}

Output:

ZoneOffset: Z
ZoneRules: ZoneRules[currentStandardOffset=Z]
