The minusSeconds() method of Instant class subtracts specified second value from this instant and return the result as an instant object. This instant is immutable.
Syntax:
public Instant minusSeconds(long secondsToSubtract)
Parameters: This method accepts one parameter secondsToSubtract which is seconds to be subtracted.
Returns: This method returns Instant after subtraction of seconds.
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 minusSeconds() method:
Program 1:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate// Instant.minusSeconds() methodimport java.time.*;public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // create a Instant object Instant instant = Instant.parse("2018-10-30T09:05:55.13Z"); // current Instant System.out.println("Initialize instant: " + instant); // subtract 4300 seconds from this instant Instant returnedValue = instant.minusSeconds(4300); // print result System.out.println("Returned Instant: " + returnedValue); }} |
Output
Initialize instant: 2018-10-30T09:05:55.130Z Returned Instant: 2018-10-30T07:54:15.130Z
Program 2:
Java
// Java program to demonstrate// Instant.minusSeconds() methodimport 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 54000 from this instant Instant returnedValue = instant.minusSeconds(54000); // print result System.out.println("Returned Instant: " + returnedValue); }} |
Output:
Current instant: 2018-11-27T06:44:04.901Z Returned Instant: 2018-11-26T15:44:04.901Z
