Instant minusSeconds() method in Java
An immutable copy of a instant where some seconds are subtracted from it can be obtained using the minusSeconds() method in the Instant class in Java. This method requires a single parameter i.e. the number of seconds to be subtracted and it returns the instant with the subtracted seconds.
A program that demonstrates this is given as follows −
Example
import java.time.*;
public class Demo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Instant i = Instant.now();
System.out.println("The current instant is: " + i);
System.out.println("An instant with 10 seconds subtracted is: " + i.minusSeconds(10));
}
}Output
The current instant is: 2019-02-12T12:29:46.262Z An instant with 10 seconds subtracted is: 2019-02-12T12:29:36.262Z
Now let us understand the above program.
First the current instant is displayed. Then an immutable copy of the instant where 10 seconds are subtracted is obtained using the minusSeconds() method and this is displayed. A code snippet that demonstrates this is as follows −
Instant i = Instant.now();
System.out.println("The current instant is: " + i);
System.out.println("An instant with 10 seconds subtracted is: " + i.minusSeconds(10));
