Time.addHours

Creates a new Time object that represents the number of hours after the time that this Time object represents.

Syntax

public Time addHours( long interval )

Parameters

interval

A long value that represents the number of hours to add to the current time.

Return Value

Returns a Time object representing the new time.

Remarks

Time objects cannot be altered. Use the addHours method to create a new Time object whose time is based on the current Time object but incremented by the number of hours specified in interval.

Example

The following example illustrates how to use the addHours method to create a new Time object that is two hours later in time than a Time object that is initialized to the current time:

public void AddTwoHours()
{
	//Create object that is set to current time
	Time now = new Time();
	//Output the current time
	System.out.println("The current time is: " + now.toString());
	
	//Increment the current time by two hours
	Time twoHoursLater = now.addHours(2);
	//Output the time
	System.out.println("The time two hours from now is: " + twoHoursLater.formatShortTime());
}
