LocalTime withSecond() method in Java

An immutable copy of a LocalTime with the seconds altered as required is done using the method withSecond() in the LocalTime class in Java. This method requires a single parameter i.e. the second that is to be set in the LocalTime and it returns the LocalTime with the second altered as required.

A program that demonstrates this is given as follows −

Example

 Live Demo

import java.time.*;
public class Main {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      LocalTime lt1 = LocalTime.parse("23:15:30");
      System.out.println("The LocalTime is: " + lt1);
      LocalTime lt2 = lt1.withSecond(45);
      System.out.println("The LocalTime with seconds altered is: " + lt2);
   }
}

Output

The LocalTime is: 23:15:30
The LocalTime with seconds altered is: 23:15:45

Now let us understand the above program.

First the LocalTime is displayed. Then the LocalTime with the seconds altered to 45 is displayed using the method withSecond(). A code snippet that demonstrates this is as follows −

LocalTime lt1 = LocalTime.parse("23:15:30");
System.out.println("The LocalTime is: " + lt1);
LocalTime lt2 = lt1.withSecond(45);
System.out.println("The LocalTime with seconds altered is: " + lt2);
