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

Java

// Java program to demonstrate
// ZoneOffset.systemDefault() method

import java.time.*;

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

        // create ZoneId object
        ZoneId zoneId
            = ZoneId.systemDefault();

        // printresult
        System.out.println("System Default time-zone: "
                           + zoneId);
    }
}

Output:

System Default time-zone: Etc/UTC

Program 2:

Java

// Java program to demonstrate
// ZoneOffset.systemDefault() method

import java.time.*;

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

        // create ZoneId object
        ZoneId zoneId
            = ZoneId.systemDefault();

        if (zoneId.getId().equals("Etc/UTC"))
            System.out.println("This zone is Etc/UTC");
        else
            System.out.println("This zone is not Etc/UTC");
