The toInstant() method of a ChronoZonedDateTime class is used to convert this ChronoZonedDateTime to the Instant.
Syntax:
default Instant toInstant()
Parameters: This method do not accepts any parameter.
Return value: This method returns Instant which is the same Instant represented by this ChronoZonedDateTime.
Below programs illustrate the toInstant() method:
Program 1:
// Java program to demonstrate// ChronoZonedDateTime.toInstant() method import java.time.*;import java.time.chrono.*;import java.time.chrono.*; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // create ChronoZonedDateTime object ChronoZonedDateTime time = ZonedDateTime .parse( "2018-12-06T19:21:12.123+05:30[Asia/Calcutta]"); // print ChronoZonedDateTime System.out.println("ChronoZonedDateTime: " + time); // print result System.out.println("Instant: " + time.toInstant()); }} |
Output:
ChronoZonedDateTime: 2018-12-06T19:21:12.123+05:30[Asia/Calcutta] Instant: 2018-12-06T13:51:12.123Z
Program 2:
// Java program to demonstrate// ChronoZonedDateTime.toInstant() method import java.time.*;import java.time.chrono.*;import java.time.chrono.*; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // create ChronoZonedDateTime object ChronoZonedDateTime time = ZonedDateTime.parse( "1918-10-25T23:12:38.543+02:00[Europe/Paris]"); // print ChronoZonedDateTime System.out.println("ChronoZonedDateTime: " + time); // print result System.out.println("Instant: " + time.toInstant()); }} |
Output:
ChronoZonedDateTime: 1918-10-25T23:12:38.543Z[Europe/Paris] Instant: 1918-10-25T23:12:38.543Z
