LocalDateTime plusMinutes() method in Java


An immutable copy of a LocalDateTime object where some minutes are added to it can be obtained using the plusMinutes() method in the LocalDateTime class in Java. This method requires a single parameter i.e. the number of minutes to be added and it returns the LocalDateTime object with the added minutes.

A program that demonstrates this is given as follows −

Example

 Live Demo

import java.time.*;
public class Demo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      LocalDateTime ldt = LocalDateTime.now();
      System.out.println("The current LocalDateTime is: " + ldt);
      System.out.println("The LocalDateTime with 15 minutes added is: " + ldt.plusMinutes(15));
   }
}

Output

The current LocalDateTime is: 2019-02-18T09:24:09.011
The LocalDateTime with 15 minutes added is: 2019-02-18T09:39:09.011

Now let us understand the above program.

First the current LocalDateTime is displayed. Then an immutable copy of the LocalDateTime where 15 minutes are added is obtained using the plusMinutes() method and this is displayed. A code snippet that demonstrates this is as follows −

LocalDateTime ldt = LocalDateTime.now();
System.out.println("The current LocalDateTime is: " + ldt);
System.out.println("The LocalDateTime with 15 minutes added is: " + ldt.plusMinutes(15));
