Below programs illustrate the minusHours() method:
Program 1 :
// Java program to demonstrate the minusHours() 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 hours subtracted System.out.println("After subtraction, time is: " + time.minusHours(5)); }} |
Output:
After subtraction, time is: 06:10:10+05:05
Program 2 :
// Java program to demonstrate the minusHours() 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 hours subtracted System.out.println("After subtraction, time is: " + time.minusHours(-5)); }} |
Output:
After subtraction, time is: 16:10:10+05:05
