The minus(long, TemporalUnit) method of Duration Class in java.time package is used to get an immutable copy of this duration with the specified duration subtracted, passed as the parameter. The duration to be subtracted is decided by converting the amountToAdd in the unit passed as the parameters.
Syntax:
public Duration minus(long amountToAdd, TemporalUnit unit)
Parameters: This method accepts two parameters:
- amountToAdd which is the amount to be subtracted. It can be positive or negative but not null.
- unit which is the TemporalUnit of the amount to be subtracted. It cannot be null.
Return Value: This method returns a Duration which is an immutable copy of the existing duration with the parameter amount of duration subtracted to it.
Exception: This method throws:
- ArithmeticException: if numeric overflow occurs.
- UnsupportedTemporalTypeException: if the unit is not supported.
Below examples illustrate the Duration.minus() method:
Example 1:
Java
import java.time.Duration;
import java.time.temporal.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Duration duration1
= Duration.parse( "P2DT3H4M" );
System.out.println(duration1
.minus( 5 ,
ChronoUnit.HOURS));
}
}

Example 2:
Java
import java.time.Duration;
import java.time.temporal.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
