The java.time.LocalTime class is an immutable class that represents a time, often viewed as hour-minute-second. Time is represented to nanosecond precision. For example, the value “13:45.30.123456789” can be stored in a LocalTime. This class does not store or represent a date or time-zone. Instead, it is a description of the local time as seen on a wall clock. It cannot represent an instant on the time-line without additional information such as an offset or time-zone.
Java LocalTime class methods
| Method |
Description |
| LocalDateTime atDate(LocalDate date) |

| int compareTo(LocalTime other) |
It is used to compare this time to another time. |
| String format(DateTimeFormatter formatter) |
It is used to format this time using the specified formatter. |
| int get(TemporalField field) |
It is used to get the value of the specified field from this time as an int. |
| LocalTime minusHours(long hoursToSubtract) |
It is used to return a copy of this LocalTime with the specified number of hours subtracted. |
| LocalTime minusMinutes(long minutesToSubtract) |
It is used to return a copy of this LocalTime with the specified number of minutes subtracted. |
| static LocalTime now() |
It is used to obtain the current time from the system clock in the default time-zone. |
| static LocalTime of(int hour, int minute, int second) |
It is used to obtain an instance of LocalTime from an hour, minute and second. |
| LocalTime plusHours(long hoursToAdd) |
It is used to return a copy of this LocalTime with the specified number of hours added. |
| LocalTime plusMinutes(long minutesToAdd) |
It is used to return a copy of this LocalTime with the specified number of minutes added. |
Example

import java.time.LocalTime;
public class TestExample {
public static void main(String args[]){
LocalTime time1 = LocalTime.now();
System.out.println(time1);
LocalTime time2 = LocalTime.of(11,23,32);
System.out.println(time2);
LocalTime time3 = LocalTime.of(10,23,32);
System.out.println(time3);
LocalTime time4=time3.minusHours(2);
LocalTime time5=time4.minusMinutes(34);
System.out.println(time5);
}
