# LocalTime

`public final class LocalTime`
`extends Object` `implements Temporal, TemporalAdjuster, Comparable<LocalTime>, Serializable`

java.lang.Object
↳ | java.time.LocalTime

A time without a time-zone in the ISO-8601 calendar system, such as `10:15:30`.

`LocalTime` is an immutable date-time object 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.

The ISO-8601 calendar system is the modern civil calendar system used today in most of the world. This API assumes that all calendar systems use the same representation, this class, for time-of-day.

## Public methods

### adjustInto

    public Temporal adjustInto (Temporal temporal)

Adjusts the specified temporal object to have the same time as this object.

This returns a temporal object of the same observable type as the input with the time changed to be the same as this.

The adjustment is equivalent to using `Temporal#with(TemporalField, long)` passing `ChronoField#NANO_OF_DAY` as the field.

In most cases, it is clearer to reverse the calling pattern by using `Temporal#with(TemporalAdjuster)`:

       // these two lines are equivalent, but the second approach is recommended
       temporal = thisLocalTime.adjustInto(temporal);
       temporal = temporal.with(thisLocalTime);

This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

Parameters
`temporal` | `Temporal`: the target object to be adjusted, not null

Returns
`Temporal` | the adjusted object, not null

Throws
`DateTimeException` | if unable to make the adjustment
`ArithmeticException` | if numeric overflow occurs

### atDate

    public LocalDateTime atDate (LocalDate date)

Combines this time with a date to create a `LocalDateTime`.

This returns a `LocalDateTime` formed from this time at the specified date. All possible combinations of date and time are valid.

Parameters
`date` | `LocalDate`: the date to combine with, not null

Returns
`LocalDateTime` | the local date-time formed from this time and the specified date, not null

### atOffset

    public OffsetTime atOffset (ZoneOffset offset)

Combines this time with an offset to create an `OffsetTime`.

This returns an `OffsetTime` formed from this time at the specified offset. All possible combinations of time and offset are valid.

Parameters
`offset` | `ZoneOffset`: the offset to combine with, not null

Returns
`OffsetTime` | the offset time formed from this time and the specified offset, not null

### compareTo

    public int compareTo (LocalTime other)

Compares this time to another time.

The comparison is based on the time-line position of the local times within a day. It is "consistent with equals", as defined by `Comparable`.

Parameters
`other` | `LocalTime`: the other time to compare to, not null

Returns
`int` | the comparator value, negative if less, positive if greater

Throws
`NullPointerException` | if `other` is null

### equals

    public boolean equals (Object obj)

Checks if this time is equal to another time.

The comparison is based on the time-line position of the time within a day.

Only objects of type `LocalTime` are compared, other types return false. To compare the date of two `TemporalAccessor` instances, use `ChronoField#NANO_OF_DAY` as a comparator.

Parameters
`obj` | `Object`: the object to check, null returns false

Returns
`boolean` | true if this is equal to the other time

### format

    public String format (DateTimeFormatter formatter)

Formats this time using the specified formatter.

This time will be passed to the formatter to produce a string.

Parameters
`formatter` | `DateTimeFormatter`: the formatter to use, not null

Returns
`String` | the formatted time string, not null

Throws
`DateTimeException` | if an error occurs during printing

### from

    public static LocalTime from (TemporalAccessor temporal)

Obtains an instance of `LocalTime` from a temporal object.

This obtains a local time based on the specified temporal. A `TemporalAccessor` represents an arbitrary set of date and time information, which this factory converts to an instance of `LocalTime`.

The conversion uses the `TemporalQueries#localTime()` query, which relies on extracting the `NANO_OF_DAY` field.

This method matches the signature of the functional interface `TemporalQuery` allowing it to be used as a query via method reference, `LocalTime::from`.

Parameters
`temporal` | `TemporalAccessor`: the temporal object to convert, not null

Returns
`LocalTime` | the local time, not null

Throws
`DateTimeException` | if unable to convert to a `LocalTime`

### get

    public int get (TemporalField field)

Gets the value of the specified field from this time as an `int`.

This queries this time for the value of the specified field. The returned value will always be within the valid range of values for the field. If it is not possible to return the value, because the field is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.

If the field is a `ChronoField` then the query is implemented here. The `supported fields` will return valid values based on this time, except `NANO_OF_DAY` and `MICRO_OF_DAY` which are too large to fit in an `int` and throw an `UnsupportedTemporalTypeException`. All other `ChronoField` instances will throw an `UnsupportedTemporalTypeException`.

If the field is not a `ChronoField`, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking `TemporalField.getFrom(TemporalAccessor)` passing `this` as the argument. Whether the value can be obtained, and what the value represents, is determined by the field.

Parameters
`field` | `TemporalField`: the field to get, not null

Returns
`int` | the value for the field

Throws
`DateTimeException` | if a value for the field cannot be obtained or the value is outside the range of valid values for the field
`UnsupportedTemporalTypeException` | if the field is not supported or the range of values exceeds an `int`
`ArithmeticException` | if numeric overflow occurs

### getHour

    public int getHour ()

Gets the hour-of-day field.

Returns
`int` | the hour-of-day, from 0 to 23

### getLong

    public long getLong (TemporalField field)

Gets the value of the specified field from this time as a `long`.

This queries this time for the value of the specified field. If it is not possible to return the value, because the field is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.

If the field is a `ChronoField` then the query is implemented here. The `supported fields` will return valid values based on this time. All other `ChronoField` instances will throw an `UnsupportedTemporalTypeException`.

If the field is not a `ChronoField`, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking `TemporalField.getFrom(TemporalAccessor)` passing `this` as the argument. Whether the value can be obtained, and what the value represents, is determined by the field.

Parameters
`field` | `TemporalField`: the field to get, not null

Returns
`long` | the value for the field

Throws
`DateTimeException` | if a value for the field cannot be obtained
`UnsupportedTemporalTypeException` | if the field is not supported
`ArithmeticException` | if numeric overflow occurs

Returns
`boolean` | true if this is after the specified time

Throws
`NullPointerException` | if `other` is null

### isBefore

Checks if this time is before the specified time.

The comparison is based on the time-line position of the time within a day.

Parameters
`other` | `LocalTime`: the other time to compare to, not null

Returns
`boolean` | true if this point is before the specified time

Throws
`NullPointerException` | if `other` is null

### isSupported

    public boolean isSupported (TemporalUnit unit)

Checks if the specified unit is supported.

This checks if the specified unit can be added to, or subtracted from, this time. If false, then calling the `plus(long, java.time.temporal.TemporalUnit)` and `minus` methods will throw an exception.

If the unit is a `ChronoUnit` then the query is implemented here. The supported units are:

- `NANOS`
- `MICROS`
- `MILLIS`
- `SECONDS`
- `MINUTES`
- `HOURS`
- `HALF_DAYS`

All other `ChronoUnit` instances will return false.

If the unit is not a `ChronoUnit`, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking `TemporalUnit.isSupportedBy(Temporal)` passing `this` as the argument. Whether the unit is supported is determined by the unit.

Parameters
`unit` | `TemporalUnit`: the unit to check, null returns false

Returns
`boolean` | true if the unit can be added/subtracted, false if not

### isSupported

    public boolean isSupported (TemporalField field)

Checks if the specified field is supported.

This checks if this time can be queried for the specified field. If false, then calling the `range`, `get` and `with(java.time.temporal.TemporalField, long)` methods will throw an exception.

If the field is a `ChronoField` then the query is implemented here. The supported fields are:

- `NANO_OF_SECOND`
- `NANO_OF_DAY`
- `MICRO_OF_SECOND`
- `MICRO_OF_DAY`
- `MILLI_OF_SECOND`
- `MILLI_OF_DAY`

- `HOUR_OF_AMPM`
- `CLOCK_HOUR_OF_AMPM`
- `HOUR_OF_DAY`
- `CLOCK_HOUR_OF_DAY`
- `AMPM_OF_DAY`

All other `ChronoField` instances will return false.

If the field is not a `ChronoField`, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking `TemporalField.isSupportedBy(TemporalAccessor)` passing `this` as the argument. Whether the field is supported is determined by the field.

Parameters
`field` | `TemporalField`: the field to check, null returns false

Returns
`boolean` | true if the field is supported on this time, false if not

### minus

    public LocalTime minus (TemporalAmount amountToSubtract)

Returns a copy of this time with the specified amount subtracted.

This returns a `LocalTime`, based on this one, with the specified amount subtracted. The amount is typically `Duration` but may be any other type implementing the `TemporalAmount` interface.

The calculation is delegated to the amount object by calling `TemporalAmount#subtractFrom(Temporal)`. The amount implementation is free to implement the subtraction in any way it wishes, however it typically calls back to `minus(long, java.time.temporal.TemporalUnit)`. Consult the documentation of the amount implementation to determine if it can be successfully subtracted.

This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

Parameters
`amountToSubtract` | `TemporalAmount`: the amount to subtract, not null

Returns
`LocalTime` | a `LocalTime` based on this time with the subtraction made, not null

Throws
`DateTimeException` | if the subtraction cannot be made

### minus

    public LocalTime minus (long amountToSubtract,
                    TemporalUnit unit)

Returns a copy of this time with the specified amount subtracted.

This returns a `LocalTime`, based on this one, with the amount in terms of the unit subtracted. If it is not possible to subtract the amount, because the unit is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.

This method is equivalent to `plus(long, java.time.temporal.TemporalUnit)` with the amount negated. See that method for a full description of how addition, and thus subtraction, works.

This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

Parameters
`amountToSubtract` | `long`: the amount of the unit to subtract from the result, may be negative
`unit` | `TemporalUnit`: the unit of the amount to subtract, not null

Returns

`DateTimeParseException` | if the text cannot be parsed

### plus

    public LocalTime plus (TemporalAmount amountToAdd)

Returns a copy of this time with the specified amount added.

This returns a `LocalTime`, based on this one, with the specified amount added. The amount is typically `Duration` but may be any other type implementing the `TemporalAmount` interface.

The calculation is delegated to the amount object by calling `TemporalAmount#addTo(Temporal)`. The amount implementation is free to implement the addition in any way it wishes, however it typically calls back to `plus(long, java.time.temporal.TemporalUnit)`. Consult the documentation of the amount implementation to determine if it can be successfully added.

This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

Parameters
`amountToAdd` | `TemporalAmount`: the amount to add, not null

Returns
`LocalTime` | a `LocalTime` based on this time with the addition made, not null

Throws
`DateTimeException` | if the addition cannot be made
`ArithmeticException` | if numeric overflow occurs

### plus

    public LocalTime plus (long amountToAdd,
                    TemporalUnit unit)

Returns a copy of this time with the specified amount added.

This returns a `LocalTime`, based on this one, with the amount in terms of the unit added. If it is not possible to add the amount, because the unit is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.

If the field is a `ChronoUnit` then the addition is implemented here. The supported fields behave as follows:

- `NANOS` - Returns a `LocalTime` with the specified number of nanoseconds added. This is equivalent to `plusNanos(long)`.
- `MICROS` - Returns a `LocalTime` with the specified number of microseconds added. This is equivalent to `plusNanos(long)` with the amount multiplied by 1,000.
- `MILLIS` - Returns a `LocalTime` with the specified number of milliseconds added. This is equivalent to `plusNanos(long)` with the amount multiplied by 1,000,000.
- `SECONDS` - Returns a `LocalTime` with the specified number of seconds added. This is equivalent to `plusSeconds(long)`.
- `MINUTES` - Returns a `LocalTime` with the specified number of minutes added. This is equivalent to `plusMinutes(long)`.
- `HOURS` - Returns a `LocalTime` with the specified number of hours added. This is equivalent to `plusHours(long)`.
- `HALF_DAYS` - Returns a `LocalTime` with the specified number of half-days added. This is equivalent to `plusHours(long)` with the amount multiplied by 12.

All other `ChronoUnit` instances will throw an `UnsupportedTemporalTypeException`.

If the field is not a `ChronoUnit`, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking `TemporalUnit.addTo(Temporal, long)` passing `this` as the argument. In this case, the unit determines whether and how to perform the addition.

This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

Parameters
`amountToAdd` | `long`: the amount of the unit to add to the result, may be negative
`unit` | `TemporalUnit`: the unit of the amount to add, not null

Returns
`LocalTime` | a `LocalTime` based on this time with the specified amount added, not null

Throws
`DateTimeException` | if the addition cannot be made
`UnsupportedTemporalTypeException` | if the unit is not supported
`ArithmeticException` | if numeric overflow occurs

### plusHours

    public LocalTime plusHours (long hoursToAdd)

Returns
`LocalTime` | a `LocalTime` based on this time with the hours added, not null

### plusMinutes

    public LocalTime plusMinutes (long minutesToAdd)

Returns a copy of this `LocalTime` with the specified number of minutes added.

This adds the specified number of minutes to this time, returning a new time. The calculation wraps around midnight.

### query

    public R query (TemporalQuery<R> query)

Queries this time using the specified query.

This queries this time using the specified query strategy object. The `TemporalQuery` object defines the logic to be used to obtain the result. Read the documentation of the query to understand what the result of this method will be.

The result of this method is obtained by invoking the `TemporalQuery#queryFrom(TemporalAccessor)` method on the specified query passing `this` as the argument.

Parameters
`query` | `TemporalQuery`: the query to invoke, not null

Returns
`R` | the query result, null may be returned (defined by the query)

Throws
`DateTimeException` | if unable to query (defined by the query)
`ArithmeticException` | if numeric overflow occurs (defined by the query)

### range

    public ValueRange range (TemporalField field)

Gets the range of valid values for the specified field.

The range object expresses the minimum and maximum valid values for a field. This time is used to enhance the accuracy of the returned range. If it is not possible to return the range, because the field is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.

If the field is a `ChronoField` then the query is implemented here. The `supported fields` will return appropriate range instances. All other `ChronoField` instances will throw an `UnsupportedTemporalTypeException`.

If the field is not a `ChronoField`, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking `TemporalField.rangeRefinedBy(TemporalAccessor)` passing `this` as the argument. Whether the range can be obtained is determined by the field.

Parameters
`field` | `TemporalField`: the field to query the range for, not null

Returns
`ValueRange` | the range of valid values for the field, not null

Throws
`DateTimeException` | if the range for the field cannot be obtained
`UnsupportedTemporalTypeException` | if the field is not supported

### toEpochSecond

    public long toEpochSecond (LocalDate date,
                    ZoneOffset offset)

Converts this `LocalTime` to the number of seconds since the epoch of 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z.

This combines this local time with the specified date and offset to calculate the epoch-second value, which is the number of elapsed seconds from 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z. Instants on the time-line after the epoch are positive, earlier are negative.

Parameters
`date` | `LocalDate`: the local date, not null
`offset` | `ZoneOffset`: the zone offset, not null

Returns
`long` | the number of seconds since the epoch of 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z, may be negative

### toNanoOfDay

    public long toNanoOfDay ()

Extracts the time as nanos of day, from `0` to `24 * 60 * 60 * 1,000,000,000 - 1`.

Returns
`long` | the nano of day equivalent to this time

### toSecondOfDay

    public int toSecondOfDay ()

Extracts the time as seconds of day, from `0` to `24 * 60 * 60 - 1`.

Returns
`int` | the second-of-day equivalent to this time

### toString

    public String toString ()

Outputs this time as a `String`, such as `10:15`.

The output will be one of the following ISO-8601 formats:

- `HH:mm`
- `HH:mm:ss`
- `HH:mm:ss.SSS`
- `HH:mm:ss.SSSSSS`
- `HH:mm:ss.SSSSSSSSS`

The format used will be the shortest that outputs the full value of the time where the omitted parts are implied to be zero.

Returns
`String` | a string representation of this time, not null

### truncatedTo

    public LocalTime truncatedTo (TemporalUnit unit)

Returns a copy of this `LocalTime` with the time truncated.

Truncation returns a copy of the original time with fields smaller than the specified unit set to zero. For example, truncating with the `minutes` unit will set the second-of-minute and nano-of-second field to zero.

The unit must have a duration that divides into the length of a standard day without remainder. This includes all supplied time units on `ChronoUnit` and `DAYS`. Other units throw an exception.

This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

Parameters
`unit` | `TemporalUnit`: the unit to truncate to, not null

Returns
`LocalTime` | a `LocalTime` based on this time with the time truncated, not null

Throws
`DateTimeException` | if unable to truncate
`UnsupportedTemporalTypeException` | if the unit is not supported

### until

    public long until (Temporal endExclusive,
                    TemporalUnit unit)

Calculates the amount of time until another time in terms of the specified unit.

This calculates the amount of time between two `LocalTime` objects in terms of a single `TemporalUnit`. The start and end points are `this` and the specified time. The result will be negative if the end is before the start. The `Temporal` passed to this method is converted to a `LocalTime` using `from(java.time.temporal.TemporalAccessor)`. For example, the amount in hours between two times can be calculated using `startTime.until(endTime, HOURS)`.

The calculation returns a whole number, representing the number of complete units between the two times. For example, the amount in hours between 11:30 and 13:29 will only be one hour as it is one minute short of two hours.

There are two equivalent ways of using this method. The first is to invoke this method. The second is to use `TemporalUnit#between(Temporal, Temporal)`:

       // these two lines are equivalent
       amount = start.until(end, MINUTES);
       amount = MINUTES.between(start, end);

The choice should be made based on which makes the code more readable.

The calculation is implemented in this method for `ChronoUnit`. The units `NANOS`, `MICROS`, `MILLIS`, `SECONDS`, `MINUTES`, `HOURS` and `HALF_DAYS` are supported. Other `ChronoUnit` values will throw an exception.

If the unit is not a `ChronoUnit`, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking `TemporalUnit.between(Temporal, Temporal)` passing `this` as the first argument and the converted input temporal as the second argument.

This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

Parameters
`endExclusive` | `Temporal`: the end time, exclusive, which is converted to a `LocalTime`, not null
`unit` | `TemporalUnit`: the unit to measure the amount in, not null

Returns
`long` | the amount of time between this time and the end time

Throws
`DateTimeException` | if the amount cannot be calculated, or the end temporal cannot be converted to a `LocalTime`
`UnsupportedTemporalTypeException` | if the unit is not supported
`ArithmeticException` | if numeric overflow occurs

### with

    public LocalTime with (TemporalField field,
                    long newValue)

Returns a copy of this time with the specified field set to a new value.

This returns a `LocalTime`, based on this one, with the value for the specified field changed. This can be used to change any supported field, such as the hour, minute or second. If it is not possible to set the value, because the field is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.

If the field is a `ChronoField` then the adjustment is implemented here. The supported fields behave as follows:

- `NANO_OF_SECOND` - Returns a `LocalTime` with the specified nano-of-second. The hour, minute and second will be unchanged.
- `NANO_OF_DAY` - Returns a `LocalTime` with the specified nano-of-day. This completely replaces the time and is equivalent to `ofNanoOfDay(long)`.
- `MICRO_OF_SECOND` - Returns a `LocalTime` with the nano-of-second replaced by the specified micro-of-second multiplied by 1,000. The hour, minute and second will be unchanged.
- `MICRO_OF_DAY` - Returns a `LocalTime` with the specified micro-of-day. This completely replaces the time and is equivalent to using `ofNanoOfDay(long)` with the micro-of-day multiplied by 1,000.
- `MILLI_OF_SECOND` - Returns a `LocalTime` with the nano-of-second replaced by the specified milli-of-second multiplied by 1,000,000. The hour, minute and second will be unchanged.
- `MILLI_OF_DAY` - Returns a `LocalTime` with the specified milli-of-day. This completely replaces the time and is equivalent to using `ofNanoOfDay(long)` with the milli-of-day multiplied by 1,000,000.
- `SECOND_OF_MINUTE` - Returns a `LocalTime` with the specified second-of-minute. The hour, minute and nano-of-second will be unchanged.
- `SECOND_OF_DAY` - Returns a `LocalTime` with the specified second-of-day. The nano-of-second will be unchanged.
- `MINUTE_OF_HOUR` - Returns a `LocalTime` with the specified minute-of-hour. The hour, second-of-minute and nano-of-second will be unchanged.
- `MINUTE_OF_DAY` - Returns a `LocalTime` with the specified minute-of-day. The second-of-minute and nano-of-second will be unchanged.
- `HOUR_OF_AMPM` - Returns a `LocalTime` with the specified hour-of-am-pm. The AM/PM, minute-of-hour, second-of-minute and nano-of-second will be unchanged.
- `CLOCK_HOUR_OF_AMPM` - Returns a `LocalTime` with the specified clock-hour-of-am-pm. The AM/PM, minute-of-hour, second-of-minute and nano-of-second will be unchanged.
- `HOUR_OF_DAY` - Returns a `LocalTime` with the specified hour-of-day. The minute-of-hour, second-of-minute and nano-of-second will be unchanged.
- `CLOCK_HOUR_OF_DAY` - Returns a `LocalTime` with the specified clock-hour-of-day. The minute-of-hour, second-of-minute and nano-of-second will be unchanged.
- `AMPM_OF_DAY` - Returns a `LocalTime` with the specified AM/PM. The hour-of-am-pm, minute-of-hour, second-of-minute and nano-of-second will be unchanged.

In all cases, if the new value is outside the valid range of values for the field then a `DateTimeException` will be thrown.

All other `ChronoField` instances will throw an `UnsupportedTemporalTypeException`.

If the field is not a `ChronoField`, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking `TemporalField.adjustInto(Temporal, long)` passing `this` as the argument. In this case, the field determines whether and how to adjust the instant.

This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

Parameters
`field` | `TemporalField`: the field to set in the result, not null
`newValue` | `long`: the new value of the field in the result

Returns
`LocalTime` | a `LocalTime` based on `this` with the specified field set, not null

Throws
`DateTimeException` | if the field cannot be set
`UnsupportedTemporalTypeException` | if the field is not supported
`ArithmeticException` | if numeric overflow occurs

### with

    public LocalTime with (TemporalAdjuster adjuster)

Returns an adjusted copy of this time.

This returns a `LocalTime`, based on this one, with the time adjusted. The adjustment takes place using the specified adjuster strategy object. Read the documentation of the adjuster to understand what adjustment will be made.

A simple adjuster might simply set the one of the fields, such as the hour field. A more complex adjuster might set the time to the last hour of the day.

The result of this method is obtained by invoking the `TemporalAdjuster#adjustInto(Temporal)` method on the specified adjuster passing `this` as the argument.

This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.
