The after() function is a part of Timestamp class of Java SQL.The function returns a boolean value representing whether the Timestamp object occurs after the given Timestamp object .
Function Signature:
public boolean after(Timestamp t)
Syntax:
ts1.after(ts2);
Parameters: The function accepts Timestamp object as parameter which is to be checked.
Return value: The function returns boolean data type representing whether the Timestamp object occurs after the given Timestamp object.
Exception: The function does not throw any exceptions
Below examples illustrate the use of after() function
Example 1: Create two non equal timestamps and check whether the second timestamp occurs after first timestamp or not
// Java program to demonstrate the// use of after() function import java.sql.*; public class solution { public static void main(String args[]) { // Create two timestamp objects Timestamp ts1 = new Timestamp(10000); Timestamp ts2 = new Timestamp(10001); boolean b = ts2.after(ts1); // Check if the second timestamp occurs // after first timestamp if (b) { // If true print that the Second Timestamp // occurs after the first timestamp System.out.println("Second Timestamp occurs" + " after first timestamp"); } else { // If false print that the Second Timestamp // does not occur after the first timestamp System.out.println("Second Timestamp does not" + " occur after first timestamp"); } }} |
Second Timestamp occurs after first timestamp
Example 2: Create two equal timestamps and check whether the second timestamp occurs after first timestamp or not
// Java program to demonstrate the// use of after() function import java.sql.*; public class solution { public static void main(String args[]) { // Create two timestamp objects Timestamp ts1 = new Timestamp(10000); Timestamp ts2 = new Timestamp(10000); boolean b = ts2.after(ts1); // Check if the second timestamp occurs // after first timestamp if (b) { // If true print that the Second Timestamp // occurs after the first timestamp System.out.println("Second Timestamp occurs" + " after first timestamp"); } else { // If false print that the Second Timestamp // does not occur after the first timestamp System.out.println("Second Timestamp does not" + " occur after first timestamp"); } }} |
Second Timestamp does not occur after first timestamp
