Instant Class getLong() method

  • getLong() method is available in java.time package.
  • getLong() method is used to get the value as long for the given temporal field from this Instant.
  • getLong() 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.
  • getLong() method may throw an exception at the time of returning value as long.
    • DateTimeException: This exception may throw when the given field couldn't be generated.
    • UnsupportedTemporalTypeException: This exception may throw when the given field is unsupported.
    • ArithmeticException: This exception may throw when the calculated result exceeds the limit.

Syntax:

    public long getLong(TemporalField t_field);

Parameter(s):

  • TemporalField t_field – represents the field of the returned value.

Return value:

The return type of this method is long, it returns the value of the given field in a long from this Instant.

Example:

// Java program to demonstrate the example // of getLong(TemporalField t_field) method // of Instant import java.time.*; import java.time.temporal.*; public class GetLongOfInstant { public static void main(String args[]) { // Instantiates two Instant Instant ins1 = Instant.parse("2006-04-03T05:10:15.20Z"); Instant ins2 = Instant.parse("2007-06-05T10:20:30.20Z"); // Display ins1,ins2 System.out.println("Instant ins1 and ins2: "); System.out.println("ins1: " + ins1); System.out.println("ins2: " + ins2); System.out.println(); // Here, this method gets the value of the // given field from this Instant i.e. // here the MICRO_OF_SECOND field value // will be returned from this Instant ins1 // as long long get_val = ins1.getLong(ChronoField.MICRO_OF_SECOND); // Display get_val System.out.println("ins1.getLong(ChronoField.MICRO_OF_SECOND): " + get_val); // Here, this method gets the value of the // given field from this Instant i.e. // here the MILLI_OF_SECOND field value // will be returned from this Instant ins2 // as long get_val = ins2.getLong(ChronoField.MILLI_OF_SECOND); // Display get_val System.out.println("ins2.getLong(ChronoField.MILLI_OF_SECOND): " + get_val); } }

Output

Instant ins1 and ins2: 
ins1: 2006-04-03T05:10:15.200Z
ins2: 2007-06-05T10:20:30.200Z

ins1.getLong(ChronoField.MICRO_OF_SECOND): 200000
ins2.getLong(ChronoField.MILLI_OF_SECOND): 200
