LocalTime

layout: default title: LocalTime

LocalTime represents a 24-hour wall-clock time, encapsulating hour, minute, and second - with nanosecond precision.

  • No date or time-zone information is stored.

The static of method is overloaded, allowing callers to pass:

  • Just the hour and minute
  • The hour, minute, and second
  • Hour, minute, second, and nanonsecond
LocalTime oneThirty = LocalTime.of(13, 30);

Like LocalDate, use the now method to get the current time.

LocalTime rightNow = LocalTime.now();
System.out.println(rightNow);
// "14:20:55.939"

Both LocalDate and LocalTime are immutable; any method you call that seems to modify the object actually builds a new instance and returns it to you.

LocalTime twoThirty = oneThirty.plusHours(1);
System.out.println(oneThirty);
// "13:30"
System.out.println(twoThirty);
// "14:30"

In main: * Create a LocalDate and a LocalTime representing the current date and time. * Print both out. * Use the LocalTime above to create a LocalTime for 90 minutes in the future, and print it out. (Refer to the LocalTime JavaDoc for methods: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/time/LocalTime.html) * What happens if you use your original LocalTime to create a LocalTime for 22 hours in the future?
