The minusMinutes() method of LocalTime class is used to subtract specified no of Minutes value from this LocalTime and return the result as a LocalTime object. This instant is immutable. The calculation wraps around midnight.
Syntax:
public LocalTime minusMinutes(long MinutesToSubtract)
Parameters: This method accepts a single parameter MinutesToSubtract which is the value of Minutes to be subtracted, it can be a negative value.
Return value: This method returns a LocalTime based on this time with the Minutes subtracted.
Below programs illustrate the minusMinutes() method:
Program 1:
// Java program to demonstrate// LocalTime.minusMinutes() 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 55 Minutes using minusMinutes() LocalTime value = time.minusMinutes(55); // print result System.out.println("LocalTime after subtraction: " + value); }} |
Output:
LocalTime before subtraction: 19:34:50.630 LocalTime after subtraction: 18:39:50.630
Program 2:
// Java program to demonstrate// LocalTime.minusMinutes() 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 600 Minutes using minusMinutes() LocalTime value = time.minusMinutes(600); // print result System.out.println("LocalTime after subtraction: " + value); }} |
Output:
LocalTime before subtraction: 01:00:01 LocalTime after subtraction: 15:00:01
