Below examples illustrate the Duration.minusHours() method:
Example 1:
Java
// Java code to illustrate minusHours() methodimport java.time.Duration;public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // Duration 1 using parse() method Duration duration1 = Duration.parse("P2DT3H4M"); // Get the duration subtracted // using minusHours() method System.out.println(duration1'= .minusHours(2)); }} |
Output:
PT49H4M
Example 2:
Java
// Java code to illustrate minusHours() methodimport java.time.Duration;public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // Duration 1 using parse() method Duration duration1 = Duration.parse("P0DT0H4M"); // Get the duration subtracted // using minusHours() method System.out.println(duration1 .minusHours(5)); }} |
Output:
PT-4H-56M
