ZoneOffsetTransition compareTo() method in Java with Example

Last Updated : 24 Jan, 2022

The compareTo() method of java.time.zone.ZoneOffsetTransition class is used to make comparison between two objects of ZoneOffsetTransition type. The comparison is made based on the instants of transition.
Syntax:

public int compareTo(ZoneOffsetTransition transition)

Parameter: This method takes a transition of ZoneoffsetTransition type and compares it with this transition.
Return Value: This method returns zero if both the objects of the ZoneOffsetTransition are equal, a negative value if the passed transition is less than this transition and a positive value if the passed transition is greater than this transition.
Below are the examples to illustrate the compareTo() method:
Example 1:

Java

// Java program to demonstrate
// compareTo() method
 
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.time.*;
import java.time.chrono.*;
import java.time.zone.*;
 
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] argv)
    {
 
        // Creating and initializing the
        // object of LocalDateTime
        LocalDateTime loc
            = LocalDateTime.of(
                1999, 04, 25, 03,
                24, 45, 0);
 
        // Creating and initializing the
        // object of ZoneOffset
        ZoneOffset off1
            = ZoneOffset.ofTotalSeconds(
                8);
 
        // Creating and initializing the
        // object of ZoneOffset
        ZoneOffset off2
            = ZoneOffset.ofTotalSeconds(
                12);
 
        // Creating and initializing
        // ZoneOffsetTransition Object
        ZoneOffsetTransition zonetrans1
            = ZoneOffsetTransition.of(
                loc, off1, off2);
 
        // Creating and initializing
        // ZoneOffsetTransition Object
        ZoneOffsetTransition zonetrans2
            = ZoneOffsetTransition.of(
                loc, off1, off2);
 
        // Comparing both object using
        // compareTo() method
        int status
            = zonetrans1.compareTo(
                zonetrans2);
 
        // Display the result
        if (status == 0)
            System.out.println(
                "zonetrans1 is equal to zonetrans2");
        else if (status > 0)
            System.out.println(
                "zonetrans1 is greater than zonetrans2");
        else
            System.out.println(
                "zonetrans1 is lesser than zonetrans2");
    }
}

Output:

zonetrans1 is equal to zonetrans2

Example 2:

                24, 45, 0);
 
        // Creating and initializing the
        // object of ZoneOffset
        ZoneOffset off1
            = ZoneOffset.ofTotalSeconds(
                8);
 
        // Creating and initializing the
        // object of ZoneOffset
        ZoneOffset off2
            = ZoneOffset.ofTotalSeconds(
                12);
 
        // Creating and initializing

        ZoneOffsetTransition zonetrans1
            = ZoneOffsetTransition.of(
                loc, off1, off2);
 
        // Creating and initializing
        // ZoneOffsetTransition Object
        ZoneOffsetTransition zonetrans2
            = ZoneOffsetTransition.of(
                loc, off2, off1);
 
        // Comparing both object using
        // compareTo() method
        int status
            = zonetrans1.compareTo(
                zonetrans2);
 
        // Display the result
        if (status == 0)
            System.out.println(
                "zonetrans1 is equal to zonetrans2");
        else if (status > 0)
            System.out.println(
                "zonetrans1 is greater than zonetrans2");
        else
            System.out.println(
                "zonetrans1 is lesser than zonetrans2");
    }
