LocalTime truncatedTo() method in Java with Examples

The truncatedTo() method of a LocalTime class is used to get the value of this LocalTime in the specified unit. This method takes a parameter Unit, which is the unit in which this LocalTime is to be truncated to. It returns a truncated immutable LocalTime with the value in the specified unit. Syntax:

public LocalTime truncatedTo(TemporalUnit unit)

Parameters: This method accepts a single parameter unit which represents the unit to truncate to, It should not be null. Return value: This method returns a immutable truncated LocalTime based on this time with the time truncated, not null. Exception: This method throws following two exception:

DateTimeException: if unable to truncate.
UnsupportedTemporalTypeException: if the unit is not supported

Below programs illustrate the truncatedTo() method: Program 1:

Java

// Java program to demonstrate
// LocalTime.truncatedTo() method

import java.time.*;
import java.time.temporal.ChronoUnit;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // create a LocalTime object
        LocalTime time
            = LocalTime.parse("21:45:36.13");

        // print instance
        System.out.println("LocalTime before"
                           + " truncate: "
                           + time);

        // truncate to ChronoUnit.MINUTES
        // means unit smaller than Minute
        // will be Zero
        LocalTime returnvalue
            = time.truncatedTo(ChronoUnit.MINUTES);

        // print result
        System.out.println("LocalTime after "
                           + " truncate: "
                           + returnvalue);
    }
}

Output:

LocalTime before truncate: 21:45:36.130
LocalTime after  truncate: 21:45

Program 2:

Java

// Java program to demonstrate
// LocalTime.truncatedTo() method

import java.time.*;
import java.time.temporal.ChronoUnit;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // create a LocalTime object
        LocalTime time
            = LocalTime.parse("01:21:30.13");

        // print instance
        System.out.println("LocalTime before"
                           + " truncate: "
                           + time);

        // truncate to ChronoUnit.HOURS
        // means unit smaller than Hour
        // will be Zero
        LocalTime returnvalue
            = time.truncatedTo(ChronoUnit.HOURS);

        // print result
        System.out.println("LocalTime after "
                           + " truncate: "
                           + returnvalue);
    }
}

Output:

LocalTime before truncate: 01:21:30.130
LocalTime after  truncate: 01:00
