0 1 1 minute read

The multipliedBy(long) method of Duration Class in java.time package is used to get an immutable copy of this duration multiplied by the value passed as the parameter.

Syntax:

public Duration multipliedBy(long multiplicand)

Parameters: This method accepts a parameter multiplicand which is the value to be multiplied. It can be positive or negative value.

Return Value: This method returns a Duration which is an immutable copy of the existing duration with the parameter value multiplied to it.

Exception: This method throws ArithmeticException if numeric overflow occurs.

Below examples illustrate the Duration.multipliedBy() method:

Example 1:

// Java code to illustrate multipliedBy() method
  
import java.time.Duration;
  
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        // Duration 1 using parse() method
        Duration duration1
            = Duration.parse("P2DT3H4M");
  
        // multiplicand value
        long multiplicand = 2;
  
        // Get the duration multiplied
        // using multipliedBy() method
        System.out.println(duration1
                               .multipliedBy(multiplicand));
    }
}

Output:

PT102H8M

Example 2:

// Java code to illustrate multipliedBy() method
  
import java.time.Duration;
  
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        // Duration 1 using parse() method
        Duration duration1
            = Duration.parse("P2DT3H4M");
  
        // multiplicand value
        long multiplicand = 10;
  
        // Get the duration multiplied
        // using multipliedBy() method
        System.out.println(duration1
                               .multipliedBy(multiplicand));
    }
}
