## Class ZoneOffset

- java.lang.Object
- - java.time.ZoneId
  - - java.time.ZoneOffset

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Comparable<ZoneOffset>, TemporalAccessor, TemporalAdjuster

      public final class ZoneOffset
      extends ZoneId
      implements TemporalAccessor, TemporalAdjuster, Comparable<ZoneOffset>, Serializable

  A time-zone offset from Greenwich/UTC, such as `+02:00`.

  A time-zone offset is the amount of time that a time-zone differs from Greenwich/UTC. This is usually a fixed number of hours and minutes.

  Different parts of the world have different time-zone offsets. The rules for how offsets vary by place and time of year are captured in the `ZoneId` class.

  For example, Paris is one hour ahead of Greenwich/UTC in winter and two hours ahead in summer. The `ZoneId` instance for Paris will reference two `ZoneOffset` instances - a `+01:00` instance for winter, and a `+02:00` instance for summer.

  In 2008, time-zone offsets around the world extended from -12:00 to +14:00. To prevent any problems with that range being extended, yet still provide validation, the range of offsets is restricted to -18:00 to 18:00 inclusive.

  This class is designed for use with the ISO calendar system. The fields of hours, minutes and seconds make assumptions that are valid for the standard ISO definitions of those fields. This class may be used with other calendar systems providing the definition of the time fields matches those of the ISO calendar system.

  Instances of `ZoneOffset` must be compared using `equals(java.lang.Object)`. Implementations may choose to cache certain common offsets, however applications must not rely on such caching.

  This is a value-based class; use of identity-sensitive operations (including reference equality (`==`), identity hash code, or synchronization) on instances of `ZoneOffset` may have unpredictable results and should be avoided. The `equals` method should be used for comparisons.

  Implementation Requirements:
    This class is immutable and thread-safe.

          public static ZoneOffset of(String offsetId)

      Obtains an instance of `ZoneOffset` using the ID.

      This method parses the string ID of a `ZoneOffset` to return an instance. The parsing accepts all the formats generated by `getId()`, plus some additional formats:

      - `Z` - for UTC

      - `-hh:mm:ss`
      - `+hhmmss`
      - `-hhmmss`
      Note that ± means either the plus or minus symbol.

      The ID of the returned offset will be normalized to one of the formats described by `getId()`.

      The maximum supported range is from +18:00 to -18:00 inclusive.

      Parameters:
        `offsetId` - the offset ID, not null
      Returns:
        the zone-offset, not null

    - #### ofHours

          public static ZoneOffset ofHours(int hours)

      Obtains an instance of `ZoneOffset` using an offset in hours.
      Parameters:
        `hours` - the time-zone offset in hours, from -18 to +18
      Returns:
        the zone-offset, not null
      Throws:

          public static ZoneOffset ofHoursMinutes(int hours,
                                                  int minutes)

      Obtains an instance of `ZoneOffset` using an offset in hours and minutes.

      The sign of the hours and minutes components must match. Thus, if the hours is negative, the minutes must be negative or zero. If the hours is zero, the minutes may be positive, negative or zero.

      Parameters:
        `hours` - the time-zone offset in hours, from -18 to +18
        `minutes` - the time-zone offset in minutes, from 0 to ±59, sign matches hours
      Returns:
        the zone-offset, not null
      Throws:
        `DateTimeException` - if the offset is not in the required range

    - #### ofHoursMinutesSeconds

          public static ZoneOffset ofHoursMinutesSeconds(int hours,
                                                         int minutes,
                                                         int seconds)

      Obtains an instance of `ZoneOffset` using an offset in hours, minutes and seconds.

      The sign of the hours, minutes and seconds components must match. Thus, if the hours is negative, the minutes and seconds must be negative or zero.

      Parameters:
        `hours` - the time-zone offset in hours, from -18 to +18
        `minutes` - the time-zone offset in minutes, from 0 to ±59, sign matches hours and seconds

      Returns:
        the zone-offset, not null
      Throws:
        `DateTimeException` - if the offset is not in the required range

    - #### from

          public static ZoneOffset from(TemporalAccessor temporal)

      Obtains an instance of `ZoneOffset` from a temporal object.

      This obtains an offset based on the specified temporal. A `TemporalAccessor` represents an arbitrary set of date and time information, which this factory converts to an instance of `ZoneOffset`.

      A `TemporalAccessor` represents some form of date and time information. This factory converts the arbitrary temporal object to an instance of `ZoneOffset`.

      The conversion uses the `TemporalQueries.offset()` query, which relies on extracting the `OFFSET_SECONDS` field.

      This method matches the signature of the functional interface `TemporalQuery` allowing it to be used as a query via method reference, `ZoneOffset::from`.

      Parameters:
        `temporal` - the temporal object to convert, not null
      Returns:
        the zone-offset, not null
      Throws:
        `DateTimeException` - if unable to convert to an `ZoneOffset`

    - #### ofTotalSeconds

          public static ZoneOffset ofTotalSeconds(int totalSeconds)

      Obtains an instance of `ZoneOffset` specifying the total offset in seconds

      The offset must be in the range `-18:00` to `+18:00`, which corresponds to -64800 to +64800.

      Parameters:
        `totalSeconds` - the total time-zone offset in seconds, from -64800 to +64800
      Returns:
        the ZoneOffset, not null
      Throws:
        `DateTimeException` - if the offset is not in the required range

    - #### getTotalSeconds

          public int getTotalSeconds()

      Gets the total zone offset in seconds.

      This is the primary way to access the offset amount. It returns the total of the hours, minutes and seconds fields as a single offset that can be added to a time.

      Returns:
        the total zone offset amount in seconds

    - #### getId

          public String getId()

      Gets the normalized zone offset ID.

      The ID is minor variation to the standard ISO-8601 formatted string for the offset. There are three formats:

      - `Z` - for UTC (ISO-8601)
      - `+hh:mm` or `-hh:mm` - if the seconds are zero (ISO-8601)
      - `+hh:mm:ss` or `-hh:mm:ss` - if the seconds are non-zero (not ISO-8601)
      Specified by:
        `getId` in class `ZoneId`
      Returns:
        the zone offset ID, not null

    - #### getRules

          public ZoneRules getRules()

      Gets the associated time-zone rules.

      The rules will always return this offset when queried. The implementation class is immutable, thread-safe and serializable.

      Specified by:
        `getRules` in class `ZoneId`
      Returns:
        the rules, not null

    - #### isSupported

          public boolean isSupported(TemporalField field)

      Checks if the specified field is supported.

      This checks if this offset can be queried for the specified field. If false, then calling the `range` and `get` methods will throw an exception.

      If the field is a `ChronoField` then the query is implemented here. The `OFFSET_SECONDS` field returns true. All other `ChronoField` instances will return false.

      If the field is not a `ChronoField`, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking `TemporalField.isSupportedBy(TemporalAccessor)` passing `this` as the argument. Whether the field is supported is determined by the field.

      Specified by:
        `isSupported` in interface `TemporalAccessor`
      Parameters:
        `field` - the field to check, null returns false
      Returns:
        true if the field is supported on this offset, false if not

    - #### range

          public ValueRange range(TemporalField field)

      Gets the range of valid values for the specified field.

      The range object expresses the minimum and maximum valid values for a field. This offset is used to enhance the accuracy of the returned range. If it is not possible to return the range, because the field is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.

      If the field is a `ChronoField` then the query is implemented here. The `supported fields` will return appropriate range instances. All other `ChronoField` instances will throw an `UnsupportedTemporalTypeException`.

      If the field is not a `ChronoField`, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking `TemporalField.rangeRefinedBy(TemporalAccessor)` passing `this` as the argument. Whether the range can be obtained is determined by the field.

      Specified by:
        `range` in interface `TemporalAccessor`
      Parameters:
        `field` - the field to query the range for, not null
      Returns:
        the range of valid values for the field, not null
      Throws:
        `DateTimeException` - if the range for the field cannot be obtained
        `UnsupportedTemporalTypeException` - if the field is not supported

    - #### get

          public int get(TemporalField field)

      Gets the value of the specified field from this offset as an `int`.

      This queries this offset for the value of the specified field. The returned value will always be within the valid range of values for the field. If it is not possible to return the value, because the field is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.

      If the field is a `ChronoField` then the query is implemented here. The `OFFSET_SECONDS` field returns the value of the offset. All other `ChronoField` instances will throw an `UnsupportedTemporalTypeException`.

      If the field is not a `ChronoField`, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking `TemporalField.getFrom(TemporalAccessor)` passing `this` as the argument. Whether the value can be obtained, and what the value represents, is determined by the field.

      Specified by:
        `get` in interface `TemporalAccessor`
      Parameters:
        `field` - the field to get, not null
      Returns:
        the value for the field
      Throws:
        `DateTimeException` - if a value for the field cannot be obtained or the value is outside the range of valid values for the field
        `UnsupportedTemporalTypeException` - if the field is not supported or the range of values exceeds an `int`
        `ArithmeticException` - if numeric overflow occurs

    - #### getLong

          public long getLong(TemporalField field)

      Gets the value of the specified field from this offset as a `long`.

      This queries this offset for the value of the specified field. If it is not possible to return the value, because the field is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown.

      If the field is a `ChronoField` then the query is implemented here. The `OFFSET_SECONDS` field returns the value of the offset. All other `ChronoField` instances will throw an `UnsupportedTemporalTypeException`.

      If the field is not a `ChronoField`, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking `TemporalField.getFrom(TemporalAccessor)` passing `this` as the argument. Whether the value can be obtained, and what the value represents, is determined by the field.

      Specified by:
        `getLong` in interface `TemporalAccessor`
      Parameters:
        `field` - the field to get, not null
      Returns:
        the value for the field
      Throws:
        `DateTimeException` - if a value for the field cannot be obtained
        `UnsupportedTemporalTypeException` - if the field is not supported
        `ArithmeticException` - if numeric overflow occurs

    - #### query

          public <R> R query(TemporalQuery<R> query)

      Queries this offset using the specified query.

      This queries this offset using the specified query strategy object. The `TemporalQuery` object defines the logic to be used to obtain the result. Read the documentation of the query to understand what the result of this method will be.

      The result of this method is obtained by invoking the `TemporalQuery.queryFrom(TemporalAccessor)` method on the specified query passing `this` as the argument.

      Specified by:
        `query` in interface `TemporalAccessor`
      Type Parameters:
        `R` - the type of the result
      Parameters:
        `query` - the query to invoke, not null
      Returns:
        the query result, null may be returned (defined by the query)
      Throws:
        `DateTimeException` - if unable to query (defined by the query)
        `ArithmeticException` - if numeric overflow occurs (defined by the query)

    - #### adjustInto

          public Temporal adjustInto(Temporal temporal)

      Adjusts the specified temporal object to have the same offset as this object.

      This returns a temporal object of the same observable type as the input with the offset changed to be the same as this.

      The adjustment is equivalent to using `Temporal.with(TemporalField, long)` passing `ChronoField.OFFSET_SECONDS` as the field.

      In most cases, it is clearer to reverse the calling pattern by using `Temporal.with(TemporalAdjuster)`:

             // these two lines are equivalent, but the second approach is recommended
             temporal = thisOffset.adjustInto(temporal);
             temporal = temporal.with(thisOffset);

      This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

      Specified by:
        `adjustInto` in interface `TemporalAdjuster`
      Parameters:
        `temporal` - the target object to be adjusted, not null
      Returns:
        the adjusted object, not null
      Throws:
        `DateTimeException` - if unable to make the adjustment
        `ArithmeticException` - if numeric overflow occurs

    - #### compareTo

          public int compareTo(ZoneOffset other)

      Compares this offset to another offset in descending order.

      The offsets are compared in the order that they occur for the same time of day around the world. Thus, an offset of `+10:00` comes before an offset of `+09:00` and so on down to `-18:00`.

      The comparison is "consistent with equals", as defined by `Comparable`.

      Specified by:
        `compareTo` in interface `Comparable<ZoneOffset>`
      Parameters:
        `other` - the other date to compare to, not null
      Returns:
        the comparator value, negative if less, positive if greater
      Throws:
        `NullPointerException` - if `other` is null

    - #### equals

          public boolean equals(Object obj)

      Checks if this offset is equal to another offset.

      The comparison is based on the amount of the offset in seconds. This is equivalent to a comparison by ID.

      Overrides:
        `equals` in class `ZoneId`
      Parameters:
        `obj` - the object to check, null returns false
      Returns:
        true if this is equal to the other offset
      See Also:
        `Object.hashCode()`, `HashMap`

    - #### hashCode

          public int hashCode()

      A hash code for this offset.
      Overrides:
        `hashCode` in class `ZoneId`
      Returns:
        a suitable hash code
      See Also:
        `Object.equals(java.lang.Object)`, `System.identityHashCode(java.lang.Object)`

    - #### toString

          public String toString()

      Outputs this offset as a `String`, using the normalized ID.
      Overrides:
        `toString` in class `ZoneId`
      Returns:
        a string representation of this offset, not null
