Class LocalTime

java.lang.Object
java.time.LocalTime
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Comparable<LocalTime>, Temporal, TemporalAccessor, TemporalAdjuster

public final class LocalTime extends Object implements Temporal, TemporalAdjuster, Comparable<LocalTime>, Serializable
A time without a time-zone in the ISO-8601 calendar system, such as 10:15:30.

LocalTime is an immutable date-time object that represents a time, often viewed as hour-minute-second. Time is represented to nanosecond precision. For example, the value "13:45.30.123456789" can be stored in a LocalTime.

This class does not store or represent a date or time-zone. Instead, it is a description of the local time as seen on a wall clock. It cannot represent an instant on the time-line without additional information such as an offset or time-zone.

The ISO-8601 calendar system is the modern civil calendar system used today in most of the world. This API assumes that all calendar systems use the same representation, this class, for time-of-day.

This is a value-based class; programmers should treat instances that are equal as interchangeable and should not use instances for synchronization, or unpredictable behavior may occur. For example, in a future release, synchronization may fail. The equals method should be used for comparisons.

Implementation Requirements:
This class is immutable and thread-safe.
