The minusHours() method of LocalTime class used to subtract specified no of Hours value from this LocalTime and return the result as a LocalTime object. This instant is immutable. The calculation wraps around midnight.
Syntax:
public LocalTime minusHours(long hoursToSubtract)
Parameters: This method accepts a single parameter hoursToSubtract which is the value of hours to be subtracted, it can be a negative value.
Return value: This method returns a LocalTime based on this time with the hours subtracted.
Below programs illustrate the minusHours() method:
Program 1:
// Java program to demonstrate// LocalTime.minusHours() method import java.time.*; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // create a LocalTime object LocalTime time = LocalTime.parse("19:34:50.63"); // print LocalTime System.out.println("LocalTime before subtraction: " + time); // subtract 3 hours using minusHours() LocalTime value = time.minusHours(3); // print result System.out.println("LocalTime after subtraction: " + value); }} |
Output:
LocalTime before subtraction: 19:34:50.630 LocalTime after subtraction: 16:34:50.630
Program 2:
// Java program to demonstrate// LocalTime.minusHours() method import java.time.*; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // create a LocalTime object LocalTime time = LocalTime.parse("01:00:01"); // print LocalTime System.out.println("LocalTime before subtraction: " + time); // subtract 7 hours using minusHours() LocalTime value = time.minusHours(7); // print result System.out.println("LocalTime after subtraction: " + value); }} |
Output:
LocalTime before subtraction: 01:00:01 LocalTime after subtraction: 18:00:01
