LocalTime isBefore() method in Java with Examples
Last Updated :
03 Dec, 2018
The isBefore() method of a LocalTime class is used to check if this LocalTime timeline position is before the LocalTime passed as parameter or not. If this LocalTime timeline position is before the LocalTime passed as a parameter then the method will return true else false. The comparison is based on the time-line position of the instants.
Syntax:
public boolean isBefore(LocalTime other)
Parameters: This method accepts a single parameter other which is the other LocalTime object to compare to. It should not be null.
Return value: This method returns true if this time is before the specified time, else false.
Below programs illustrate the isBefore() method:
Program 1:
import java.time.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
LocalTime time1
= LocalTime.parse("19:34:50.63");
LocalTime time2
= LocalTime.parse("23:14:00.63");
System.out.println("LocalTime 1: " + time1);
System.out.println("LocalTime 2: " + time2);
boolean value = time1.isBefore(time2);
System.out.println("Is LocalTime1 before LocalTime2: "
+ value);
}
}

Output:
LocalTime 1: 19:34:50.630
LocalTime 2: 23:14:00.630
Is LocalTime1 before LocalTime2: true
Program 2:
import java.time.*;
public class GFG {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
LocalTime time1
= LocalTime.parse("23:59:11.98");
LocalTime time2
= LocalTime.parse("10:24:53.21");
System.out.println("LocalTime 1: " + time1);
System.out.println("LocalTime 2: " + time2);
boolean value = time1.isBefore(time2);
System.out.println("Is LocalTime1 before LocalTime2: "
+ value);
}
}

Output:
LocalTime 1: 23:59:11.980
LocalTime 2: 10:24:53.210
Is LocalTime1 before LocalTime2: false
