Parameters: This method does not accept any parameter.

Return value: This method returns an integer value which represents hour-of-day and it ranges from 0 to 23.

Below programs illustrate the getHour() method:

Program 1:

// Java program to demonstrate
// LocalTime.getHour() method
  
import java.time.*;
  
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // create a LocalTime object
        LocalTime time
            = LocalTime.parse("19:34:50.63");
  
        // get Hour field using getHour()
        int Hour = time.getHour();
  
        // print result
        System.out.println("Hour Field: "
                           + Hour);
    }
}

Output:

Hour Field: 19

Program 2:

// Java program to demonstrate
// LocalTime.getHour() method
  
import java.time.*;
  
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // create a LocalTime object
        LocalTime time
            = LocalTime.parse("23:14:30.53");
  
        // get Hour field using getHour()
        int Hour = time.getHour();
  
        // print result
        System.out.println("Hour Field: "
                           + Hour);
    }
