Instant get() method in Java


The value of the required ChronoField for an Instant can be obtained using the get() method in the Instant class in Java. This method requires a single parameter i.e. the ChronoField and it returns the value of the ChronoField that was passed as a parameter.

A program that demonstrates this is given as follows −

Example

 Live Demo

import java.time.*;
import java.time.temporal.ChronoField;
import java.time.temporal.ValueRange;
public class Demo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      Instant i = Instant.now();
      int micro = i.get(ChronoField.MICRO_OF_SECOND);
      System.out.println("The current Instant is: " + i);
      System.out.println("The MICRO_OF_SECOND Field is: " + micro);
   }
}

Output

The current Instant is: 2019-02-13T11:07:48.456Z
The MICRO_OF_SECOND Field is: 456000

Now let us understand the above program.

First, the current instant is displayed. Then the value of the MICRO_OF_SECOND ChronoField is obtained using the get() method and displayed. A code snippet that demonstrates this is as follows −

Instant i = Instant.now();
int micro = i.get(ChronoField.MICRO_OF_SECOND);
System.out.println("The current Instant is: " + i);
System.out.println("The MICRO_OF_SECOND Field is: " + micro);
