ZoneOffsetTransitionRule getTimeDefinition() method in Java with Example

The getTimeDefinition() method of java.time.zone.ZoneOffsetTransitionRule class is used to get the enum value of ZoneOffsetTransitionRule.TimeDefinition object with respect to which the transition took place.

Syntax:

public ZoneOffsetTransitionRule.TimeDefinition getTimeDefinition()

Parameter: this method does not accept any parameter.

Return Value: This method returns the enum value of ZoneOffsetTransitionRule.TimeDefinition object with respect to which the transition took place.

Below are the examples to illustrate the getTimeDefinition() method:

Example 1:

// Java program to demonstrate
// getTimeDefinition() method

import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.time.*;
import java.time.chrono.*;
import java.time.zone.*;

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

        // creating and initializing
        // ZoneOffsetTransitionRule Object
        ZoneOffsetTransitionRule zonetrans1
            = ZoneOffsetTransitionRule
                  .of(
                      Month.JANUARY, 12,
                      DayOfWeek.SUNDAY,
                      LocalTime.of(03, 24, 45),
                      false,
                      ZoneOffsetTransitionRule
                          .TimeDefinition
                          .STANDARD,
                      ZoneOffset.ofTotalSeconds(8),
                      ZoneOffset.ofTotalSeconds(17),
                      ZoneOffset.ofTotalSeconds(12));

        // getting value of TimeDefinition
        // by using getTimeDefinition() method
        ZoneOffsetTransitionRule.TimeDefinition
            time
            = zonetrans1.getTimeDefinition();

        // display the result
        System.out.println(
            "TimeDefinition : " + time);
    }
}

Output:

TimeDefinition : STANDARD

Example 2:

// Java program to demonstrate
// getTimeDefinition() method

import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.time.*;
import java.time.chrono.*;
import java.time.zone.*;

public class GFG {

    {

        // creating and initializing
        // ZoneOffsetTransitionRule Object
        ZoneOffsetTransitionRule zonetrans1
            = ZoneOffsetTransitionRule
                  .of(
                      Month.JANUARY,
                      12,
                      DayOfWeek.SUNDAY,
                      LocalTime.of(03, 24, 45),
                      false,
                      ZoneOffsetTransitionRule
                          .TimeDefinition.UTC,
                      ZoneOffset.ofTotalSeconds(8),
                      ZoneOffset.ofTotalSeconds(17),
                      ZoneOffset.ofTotalSeconds(12));

        // getting value of TimeDefinition
        // by using getTimeDefinition() method
        ZoneOffsetTransitionRule.TimeDefinition
            time
            = zonetrans1.getTimeDefinition();

        // display the result
        System.out.println(
            "TimeDefinition : " + time);
    }
}

Output:

TimeDefinition : UTC
