ZoneOffset normalized() method in Java with Examples

The normalized() method of the ZoneOffset class in Java is used to normalize the time-zone ID and returns a ZoneOffset where possible.

The method returns a normalized ZoneOffset that can be used in place of this ID. The normalization process checks if the rules of this ZoneOffset have a fixed offset. If ZoneOffset has fixed offset then the ZoneOffset equal to that offset is returned. Otherwise, this is returned.

Syntax:

public ZoneId normalized()

Parameters: This method accepts nothing.

Return value: This method returns the time-zone unique ID.

Below programs illustrate the normalized() method:

Program 1:

// Java program to demonstrate
// ZoneOffset.normalized() method

import java.time.*;

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

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

        // get and print normalised zoneId
        System.out.println("Normalised zoneId: "
                           + zoneOffset.normalized());
    }
}

Output:

Normalised zoneId: +05:30

Program 2:

// Java program to demonstrate
// ZoneOffset.normalized() method

import java.time.*;

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

        // Get the ZoneOffset instance
        ZoneOffset zoneOffset
            = ZoneOffset.of("Z");

        // get and print Id
        System.out.println("Normalised zoneId: "
                           + zoneOffset.normalized());
    }
}

Output:

Normalised zoneId: Z
