Duration Class dividedBy() method

• dividedBy() method is available in java.time package.
• dividedBy() method is used to divide this Duration by the given parameter (divisor) (i.e. this Duration / divisor).
• dividedBy() method is a non-static method, it is accessible with the class object only and if we try to access the method with the class name then we will get an error.
• dividedBy() method does not throw an exception at the time of dividing the objects.

Syntax:

    public Duration dividedBy(long divsr);

Parameter(s):

• long divsr – represents the divisor by which to divide this object.

Return value:

The return type of this method is Duration, it returns Duration and its value is calculated by using (this BigInteger)/ (divsr).

Example:

// Java program to demonstrate the example 
// of dividedBy(long divsr) method of Duration

import java.time.*;

public class DividedByOfDuration {
    public static void main(String args[]) {
        long divsr = 5;
        // Instantiates two Duration  objects
        Duration du1 = Duration.ofHours(10);
        Duration du2 = Duration.ofMinutes(25);

        // Display du1 and du2
        System.out.println("du1: " + du1);
        System.out.println("du2: " + du2);

        System.out.println();

        // divides this Duration object(du1)
        // by the given value (divsr) 
        Duration div_val = du1.dividedBy(divsr);
        System.out.println("du1.dividedBy(divsr): " + div_val);

        // divides this Duration object(du2)
        // by the given value (divsr) 
        div_val = du2.dividedBy(divsr);
        System.out.println("du2.dividedBy(divsr): " + div_val);
    }
}

Output

du1: PT10H
du2: PT25M

du1.dividedBy(divsr): PT2H
du2.dividedBy(divsr): PT5M
