Java 8 Duration example.


In the previous page we have seen Period class example. Period deals with date. Similar to Period, Duration deals with time. Like the names suggest Duration represent a quantity or amount of time. Duration uses seconds or nanoseconds to define an amount of time. Duration is most suitable when working with Instants and machine time.

DurationEx
package com.java2novice.datetime;

import java.time.Duration;
import java.time.LocalTime;

public class DurationEx {

	public static void main(String a[]) {

		// create time object with values
		LocalTime givenTime = LocalTime.of(2, 30, 15);
		System.out.println("time: "+givenTime);

		// add 20 minutes and 30 seconds
		LocalTime updatedTime = givenTime.plus(Duration.ofMinutes(20)).plus(Duration.ofSeconds(30));
		System.out.println("updated time: "+updatedTime);

		Duration drt = Duration.between(givenTime, updatedTime);
		System.out.println("difference in seconds: "+drt.getSeconds());
		System.out.println("difference in seconds: "+drt.toMinutes());
	}
}

Output:
time: 02:30:15
updated time: 02:50:45
difference in seconds: 1230
difference in seconds: 20

What is adapter class?
An adapter class provides the default implementation of all methods in an event listener interface. Adapter classes are very useful when you want to process only few of the events that are handled by a particular event listener interface. You can define a new class by extending one of the adapter classes and implement only those events relevant to you.
Famous Quotations
It is easier to fight for one’s principles than to live up to them.
