The minusMillis() method of Instant class subtracts specified duration in milliseconds from this instant and returns the result as an instant object. This returned Instant is immutable.
Syntax:
public Instant minusMillis(long millisToSubtract)
Parameters: This method accepts one parameter millisToSubtract which is milliseconds to subtract.
Returns: This method returns the Instant after subtraction of milliSeconds.
Exception: This method throws following exceptions:
- DateTimeException: if the result exceeds the maximum or minimum instant.
- ArithmeticException: if numeric overflow occurs.
Below programs illustrate the minusMillis() method:
Program 1:
// Java program to demonstrate// Instant.minusMillis() method import java.time.*; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // create a Instant object Instant instant = Instant.parse("2018-12-30T19:34:50.63Z"); // subtract 64000000 MILLI_OF_SECOND // means 64000 seconds from this instant Instant returnedValue = instant.minusMillis(64000000); // print result System.out.println("Returned Instant: " + returnedValue); }} |
Output:
Returned Instant: 2018-12-30T01:48:10.630Z
Program 2:
// Java program to demonstrate// Instant.minusMillis() method import java.time.*; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // create a Instant object Instant instant = Instant.now(); // current Instant System.out.println("current instant: " + instant); // subtract 36000000 MILLI_OF_SECOND // means 36000 seconds from this instant Instant returnedValue = instant.minusMillis(36000000); // print result System.out.println("Returned Instant: " + returnedValue); }} |
Output:
current instant: 2018-11-27T05:13:12.132Z Returned Instant: 2018-11-26T19:13:12.132Z
