minusSeconds() method of a ZonedDateTime class used to subtract the number of seconds from this ZonedDateTime and return a copy of ZonedDateTime after subtraction.This method works on the instant time-line and subtracting one-second returns the time-line of one second earlier. Note that this method is a different approach to that used by days, months and years. This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.
Syntax:
public ZonedDateTime minusSeconds(long seconds)
Parameters: This method accepts a single parameter seconds which represents the seconds to subtract, It can be negative.
Return value: This method returns a ZonedDateTime based on this date-time with the seconds subtracted.
Exception: This method throws DateTimeException if the result exceeds the supported date range.
Below programs illustrate the minusSeconds() method:
Program 1:
// Java program to demonstrate// ZonedDateTime.minusSeconds() method import java.time.*; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // create a ZonedDateTime object ZonedDateTime zoneddatetime = ZonedDateTime.parse( "2018-12-06T19:21:12.123+05:30[Asia/Calcutta]"); // print instance System.out.println("ZonedDateTime before" + " subtracting seconds: " + zoneddatetime); // subtract 100 seconds ZonedDateTime returnvalue = zoneddatetime.minusSeconds(100); // print result System.out.println("ZonedDateTime after " + " subtracting 100 seconds: " + returnvalue); }} |
ZonedDateTime before subtracting seconds: 2018-12-06T19:21:12.123+05:30[Asia/Calcutta]
ZonedDateTime after subtracting 100 seconds: 2018-12-06T19:19:32.123+05:30[Asia/Calcutta]
Program 2:
// Java program to demonstrate// ZonedDateTime.minusSeconds() method import java.time.*; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // create a ZonedDateTime object ZonedDateTime zoneddatetime = ZonedDateTime.parse( "2018-10-25T23:12:31.123+02:00[Europe/Paris]"); // print instance System.out.println("ZonedDateTime before" + " subtracting seconds: " + zoneddatetime); // subtract -22 seconds ZonedDateTime returnvalue = zoneddatetime.minusSeconds(-22); // print result System.out.println("ZonedDateTime after " + " subtracting -22 seconds: " + returnvalue); }} |
ZonedDateTime before subtracting seconds: 2018-10-25T23:12:31.123+02:00[Europe/Paris]
ZonedDateTime after subtracting -22 seconds: 2018-10-25T23:12:53.123+02:00[Europe/Paris]
