Below examples illustrate the Duration.plusMillis() method:

Example 1:




// Java code to illustrate plusMillis() method
  
import 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 added
        // using plusMillis() method
        System.out.println(duration1.plusMillis(2));
    }
}


Output:

PT51H4M0.002S

Example 2:




// Java code to illustrate plusMillis() method
  
import 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 added
        // using plusMillis() method
        System.out.println(duration1.plusMillis(5));
    }
}


Output:
