LocalTime plusHours() method in Java


An immutable copy of a LocalTime object where some hours are added to it can be obtained using the plusHours() method in the LocalTime class in Java. This method requires a single parameter i.e. the number of hours to be added and it returns the LocalTime object with the added hours.

A program that demonstrates this is given as follows −

Example

 Live Demo

import java.time.*;
public class Demo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      LocalTime lt = LocalTime.now();
      System.out.println("The current LocalTime is: " + lt);
      System.out.println("The LocalTime with 3 hours added is: " + lt.plusHours(3));
   }
}

Output

The current LocalTime is: 09:25:23.528
The LocalTime with 3 hours added is: 12:25:23.528

Now let us understand the above program.

First the current LocalTime is displayed. Then an immutable copy of the LocalTime where 3 hours are added is obtained using the plusHours() method and this is displayed. A code snippet that demonstrates this is as follows −

LocalTime lt = LocalTime.now();
System.out.println("The current LocalTime is: " + lt);
System.out.println("The LocalTime with 3 hours added is: " + lt.plusHours(3));
