ZoneId ofOffset() method in Java with Examples

Last Updated : 2 Feb, 2022

The ofOffset() method of the ZoneId class used to obtain an instance of ZoneId wrapping an offset.If the prefix passed in this method is "GMT", "UTC", or "UT" a ZoneId with the prefix then the non-zero offset is returned and If the prefix is empty "" then the ZoneOffset is returned.
Syntax: 
 

public static ZoneId ofOffset(String prefix,
                              ZoneOffset offset)


Parameters: This method accepts two parameters prefix and offset where prefix represents the time-zone ID and offset represents the offset.
Return value: This method returns the zoneId.
Exception: This method throws an IllegalArgumentException if the prefix is not one of "GMT", "UTC", or "UT", or "".
Below programs illustrate the ofOffset() method: 
Program 1: 
 

Java
// Java program to demonstrate
// ZoneId.ofOffset() method

import java.time.*;

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

        // create ZoneId object
        ZoneId zoneId
            = ZoneId.ofOffset("UTC",
                              ZoneOffset.UTC);

        // print result
        System.out.println("ZoneId:"
                           + zoneId);
    }
}

Output: 
ZoneId:UTC

 

Program 2: 
 

Java
// Java program to demonstrate
// ZoneId.ofOffset() method

import java.time.*;
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // create ZoneId object
        ZoneId zoneId
            = ZoneId.ofOffset("GMT",
                              ZoneOffset.MAX);

        // print result
        System.out.println("ZoneId:"
                           + zoneId);
    }
}
