0 1 1 minute read

The isTimeBased() method of ChronoUnit enum is used to check if this ChronoUnit is a time unit. All ChronoUnits from nanos to half-days are time-based.

Syntax:

public boolean isTimeBased()

Parameters: This method accepts nothing.

Return value: This method returns true if a time unit, false if a data unit.

Below programs illustrate the ChronoUnit.isTimeBased() method:
Program 1:

// Java program to demonstrate
// ChronoUnit.isTimeBased() method
  
import java.time.temporal.ChronoUnit;
  
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        // get ChronoUnit
        ChronoUnit chronoUnit
            = ChronoUnit.valueOf("NANOS");
  
        // apply isTimeBased()
        boolean isTimeBasedAttribute
            = chronoUnit.isTimeBased();
  
        // print
        System.out.println(
            "NANOS"
            + " is Date based attribute:"
            + isTimeBasedAttribute);
    }
}

Output:

NANOS is Date based attribute:true

Program 2:

// Java program to demonstrate
// ChronoUnit.isTimeBased() method
  
import java.time.temporal.ChronoUnit;
  
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        // get ChronoUnit
        ChronoUnit chronoUnit
            = ChronoUnit.valueOf("DAYS");
  
        // apply isTimeBased()
        boolean isTimeBasedAttribute
            = chronoUnit.isTimeBased();
  
        // print
        System.out.println(
            "DAYS"
            + " is Date based attribute:"
            + isTimeBasedAttribute);
    }
}
