import java.time.*;
 
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
 
        // get Instant using parse method
        Instant instant
            = Instant.parse("2018-11-30T18:35:24.00Z");
 
        // print result
        System.out.println("Instant: "
                           + instant);
