Duration dividedBy() method in Java


An immutable copy of a duration where the required duration is divided by a value can be obtained using the method dividedBy() in the Duration class in Java. This method requires a single parameter i.e. the value which is to be divided and it returns the immutable copy of the duration which is divided by a value.

A program that demonstrates this is given as follows −

Example

 Live Demo

import java.time.Duration;
import java.time.temporal.*;
public class Demo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      Duration d = Duration.ofHours(15);
      System.out.println("The duration is: " + d);
      System.out.println("Duration divided by 5 is: " + d.dividedBy(5));
   }
}

Output

The duration is: PT15H
Duration divided by 5 is: PT3H

Now let us understand the above program.

First the duration is displayed. Then an immutable copy of the duration where 5 hours are divided from it is obtained using the dividedBy() method and this is displayed. A code snippet that demonstrates this is as follows −

Duration d = Duration.ofHours(15);
System.out.println("The duration is: " + d);
System.out.println("Duration divided by 5 is: " + d.dividedBy(5));
