public class AddMinutes {
public static void main(String[] args) {
DateTime date = new DateTime(new Date());
//plus time
System.out.println("now: " + date);
DateTime after10Seconds = date.plusSeconds(10);
System.out.println("after 10 seconds: " + after10Seconds);
DateTime after10Minutes = date.plusMinutes(10);
System.out.println("after 10 minutes: " + after10Minutes);
DateTime after10Hours = date.plusHours(10);
System.out.println("after 10 hours: " + after10Hours);
DateTime after10Days = date.plusDays(10);
System.out.println("after 10 days: " + after10Days);
DateTime after10Months = date.plusMonths(10);
System.out.println("after 10 months: " + after10Months);
//minus time
DateTime before10Seconds = date.minusSeconds(10);
System.out.println("before 10 seconds: " + before10Seconds);
DateTime before10Minutes = date.plusMinutes(10);
System.out.println("before 10 minutes: " + before10Minutes);
DateTime before10Hours = date.plusHours(10);
System.out.println("before 10 hours: " + before10Hours);
DateTime before10Days = date.plusDays(10);
System.out.println("before 10 days: " + before10Days);
DateTime before10Months = date.plusMonths(10);
System.out.println("before 10 months: " + before10Months);
}
}
The output of the code is like following.
