Output:
5
Example 2:
// Java code to illustrate ofSeconds() method import java.time.Duration; public class GFG { public static void main(String[] args) { // input number of Seconds long noOfSeconds = -214545; // Duration using ofSeconds() method Duration duration = Duration.ofSeconds(noOfSeconds); System.out.println(duration.getSeconds()); }} |
Output:
