The from() method of OffsetTime class in Java obtains an instance of OffsetTime from a temporal object which is passed in the parameter of the method.

Syntax:

public static OffsetTime from(TemporalAccessor temporal)

Parameter: This method accepts a single mandatory parameter temporal which specifies the temporal object to be converted and it is not null.

Return Value: It returns the offset time and not null.

Below programs illustrate the from() method:

Program 1 :

// Java program to demonstrate the from() method
  
import java.time.OffsetTime;
import java.time.ZonedDateTime;
  
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        // Function called to get current time
        OffsetTime time
            = OffsetTime.from(ZonedDateTime.now());
  
        // Prints the current time
        System.out.println("Current-time: "
                           + time);
    }
}

Output:

Current-time: 13:07:59.941Z

Program 2 :

// Java program to demonstrate the from() method
  
import java.time.OffsetTime;
import java.time.ZonedDateTime;
  
public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
  
        // Function called to get current time
        OffsetTime time
            = OffsetTime.from(ZonedDateTime.now());
  
        // Prints the current time
        System.out.println("Current-time: "
                           + time);
    }
}
