Returns an adjusted copy of this time. !(p) This returns a {@code LocalTime}, based on this one, with the time adjusted. The adjustment takes place using the specified adjuster strategy object. Read the documentation of the adjuster to understand what adjustment will be made. !(p) A simple adjuster might simply set the one of the fields, such as the hour field. A more complex adjuster might set the time to the last hour of the day. !(p) The result of this method is obtained by invoking the {@link TemporalAdjuster#adjustInto(Temporal)} method on the specified adjuster passing {@code this} as the argument. !(p) This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.
Returns a copy of this time with the specified field set to a new value. !(p) This returns a {@code LocalTime}, based on this one, with the value for the specified field changed. This can be used to change any supported field, such as the hour, minute or second. If it is not possible to set the value, because the field is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown. !(p) If the field is a {@link ChronoField} then the adjustment is implemented here. The supported fields behave as follows: !(ul) !(li){@code NANO_OF_SECOND} - Returns a {@code LocalTime} with the specified nano-of-second. The hour, minute and second will be unchanged. !(li){@code NANO_OF_DAY} - Returns a {@code LocalTime} with the specified nano-of-day. This completely replaces the time and is equivalent to {@link #ofNanoOfDay(long)}. !(li){@code MICRO_OF_SECOND} - Returns a {@code LocalTime} with the nano-of-second replaced by the specified micro-of-second multiplied by 1,000. The hour, minute and second will be unchanged. !(li){@code MICRO_OF_DAY} - Returns a {@code LocalTime} with the specified micro-of-day. This completely replaces the time and is equivalent to using {@link #ofNanoOfDay(long)} with the micro-of-day multiplied by 1,000. !(li){@code MILLI_OF_SECOND} - Returns a {@code LocalTime} with the nano-of-second replaced by the specified milli-of-second multiplied by 1,000,000. The hour, minute and second will be unchanged. !(li){@code MILLI_OF_DAY} - Returns a {@code LocalTime} with the specified milli-of-day. This completely replaces the time and is equivalent to using {@link #ofNanoOfDay(long)} with the milli-of-day multiplied by 1,000,000. !(li){@code SECOND_OF_MINUTE} - Returns a {@code LocalTime} with the specified second-of-minute. The hour, minute and nano-of-second will be unchanged. !(li){@code SECOND_OF_DAY} - Returns a {@code LocalTime} with the specified second-of-day. The nano-of-second will be unchanged. !(li){@code MINUTE_OF_HOUR} - Returns a {@code LocalTime} with the specified minute-of-hour. The hour, second-of-minute and nano-of-second will be unchanged. !(li){@code MINUTE_OF_DAY} - Returns a {@code LocalTime} with the specified minute-of-day. The second-of-minute and nano-of-second will be unchanged. !(li){@code HOUR_OF_AMPM} - Returns a {@code LocalTime} with the specified hour-of-am-pm. The AM/PM, minute-of-hour, second-of-minute and nano-of-second will be unchanged. !(li){@code CLOCK_HOUR_OF_AMPM} - Returns a {@code LocalTime} with the specified clock-hour-of-am-pm. The AM/PM, minute-of-hour, second-of-minute and nano-of-second will be unchanged. !(li){@code HOUR_OF_DAY} - Returns a {@code LocalTime} with the specified hour-of-day. The minute-of-hour, second-of-minute and nano-of-second will be unchanged. !(li){@code CLOCK_HOUR_OF_DAY} - Returns a {@code LocalTime} with the specified clock-hour-of-day. The minute-of-hour, second-of-minute and nano-of-second will be unchanged. !(li){@code AMPM_OF_DAY} - Returns a {@code LocalTime} with the specified AM/PM. The hour-of-am-pm, minute-of-hour, second-of-minute and nano-of-second will be unchanged. </ul> !(p) In all cases, if the new value is outside the valid range of values for the field then a {@code DateTimeException} will be thrown. !(p) All other {@code ChronoField} instances will throw an {@code UnsupportedTemporalTypeException}. !(p) If the field is not a {@code ChronoField}, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking {@code TemporalField.adjustInto(Temporal, long)} passing {@code this} as the argument. In this case, the field determines whether and how to adjust the instant. !(p) This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.
Adjusts the specified temporal object to have the same time as this object. !(p) This returns a temporal object of the same observable type as the input with the time changed to be the same as this. !(p) The adjustment is equivalent to using {@link Temporal#_with(TemporalField, long)} passing {@link ChronoField#NANO_OF_DAY} as the field. !(p) In most cases, it is clearer to reverse the calling pattern by using {@link Temporal#_with(TemporalAdjuster)}: !(pre) // these two lines are equivalent, but the second approach is recommended temporal = thisLocalTime.adjustInto(temporal); temporal = temporal._with(thisLocalTime); </pre> !(p) This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.
Combines this time with a date to create a {@code LocalDateTime}. !(p) This returns a {@code LocalDateTime} formed from this time at the specified date. All possible combinations of date and time are valid.
Combines this time with an offset to create an {@code OffsetTime}. !(p) This returns an {@code OffsetTime} formed from this time at the specified offset. All possible combinations of time and offset are valid.

Gets the value of the specified field from this time as an {@code int}. !(p) This queries this time 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. !(p) If the field is a {@link ChronoField} then the query is implemented here. The {@link #isSupported(TemporalField) supported fields} will return valid values based on this time, except {@code NANO_OF_DAY} and {@code MICRO_OF_DAY} which are too large to fit _in an {@code int} and throw an {@code UnsupportedTemporalTypeException}. All other {@code ChronoField} instances will throw an {@code UnsupportedTemporalTypeException}. !(p) If the field is not a {@code ChronoField}, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking {@code TemporalField.getFrom(TemporalAccessor)} passing {@code this} as the argument. Whether the value can be obtained, and what the value represents, is determined by the field.
Gets the hour-of-day field.
Gets the value of the specified field from this time as a {@code long}. !(p) This queries this time 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. !(p) If the field is a {@link ChronoField} then the query is implemented here. The {@link #isSupported(TemporalField) supported fields} will return valid values based on this time. All other {@code ChronoField} instances will throw an {@code UnsupportedTemporalTypeException}. !(p) If the field is not a {@code ChronoField}, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking {@code TemporalField.getFrom(TemporalAccessor)} passing {@code this} as the argument. Whether the value can be obtained, and what the value represents, is determined by the field.

Checks if this time is before the specified time. !(p) The comparison is based on the time-line position of the time within a day.
Checks if the specified field is supported. !(p) This checks if this time can be queried for the specified field. If false, then calling the {@link #range(TemporalField) range}, {@link #get(TemporalField) get} and {@link #_with(TemporalField, long)} methods will throw an exception. !(p) If the field is a {@link ChronoField} then the query is implemented here. The supported fields are: !(ul) !(li){@code NANO_OF_SECOND} !(li){@code NANO_OF_DAY} !(li){@code MICRO_OF_SECOND} !(li){@code MICRO_OF_DAY} !(li){@code MILLI_OF_SECOND} !(li){@code MILLI_OF_DAY} !(li){@code SECOND_OF_MINUTE} !(li){@code SECOND_OF_DAY} !(li){@code MINUTE_OF_HOUR} !(li){@code MINUTE_OF_DAY} !(li){@code HOUR_OF_AMPM} !(li){@code CLOCK_HOUR_OF_AMPM} !(li){@code HOUR_OF_DAY} !(li){@code CLOCK_HOUR_OF_DAY} !(li){@code AMPM_OF_DAY} </ul> All other {@code ChronoField} instances will return false. !(p) If the field is not a {@code ChronoField}, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking {@code TemporalField.isSupportedBy(TemporalAccessor)} passing {@code this} as the argument. Whether the field is supported is determined by the field.
Checks if the specified unit is supported. !(p) This checks if the specified unit can be added to, or subtracted from, this time. If false, then calling the {@link #plus(long, TemporalUnit)} and {@link #minus(long, TemporalUnit) minus} methods will throw an exception. !(p) If the unit is a {@link ChronoUnit} then the query is implemented here. The supported units are: !(ul) !(li){@code NANOS} !(li){@code MICROS} !(li){@code MILLIS} !(li){@code SECONDS} !(li){@code MINUTES} !(li){@code HOURS} !(li){@code HALF_DAYS} </ul> All other {@code ChronoUnit} instances will return false. !(p) If the unit is not a {@code ChronoUnit}, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking {@code TemporalUnit.isSupportedBy(Temporal)} passing {@code this} as the argument. Whether the unit is supported is determined by the unit.
Returns a copy of this time with the specified amount subtracted. !(p) This returns a {@code LocalTime}, based on this one, with the specified amount subtracted. The amount is typically {@link Duration} but may be any other type implementing the {@link TemporalAmount} interface. !(p) The calculation is delegated to the amount object by calling {@link TemporalAmount#subtractFrom(Temporal)}. The amount implementation is free to implement the subtraction _in any way it wishes, however it typically calls back to {@link #minus(long, TemporalUnit)}. Consult the documentation of the amount implementation to determine if it can be successfully subtracted. !(p) This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.
Returns a copy of this time with the specified amount subtracted. !(p) This returns a {@code LocalTime}, based on this one, with the amount _in terms of the unit subtracted. If it is not possible to subtract the amount, because the unit is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown. !(p) This method is equivalent to {@link #plus(long, TemporalUnit)} with the amount negated. See that method for a full description of how addition, and thus subtraction, works. !(p) This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

Checks if this time is equal to another time. !(p) The comparison is based on the time-line position of the time within a day. !(p) Only objects of type {@code LocalTime} are compared, other types return false. To compare the date of two {@code TemporalAccessor} instances, use {@link ChronoField#NANO_OF_DAY} as a comparator.
Returns a copy of this time with the specified amount added. !(p) This returns a {@code LocalTime}, based on this one, with the specified amount added. The amount is typically {@link Duration} but may be any other type implementing the {@link TemporalAmount} interface. !(p) The calculation is delegated to the amount object by calling {@link TemporalAmount#addTo(Temporal)}. The amount implementation is free to implement the addition _in any way it wishes, however it typically calls back to {@link #plus(long, TemporalUnit)}. Consult the documentation of the amount implementation to determine if it can be successfully added. !(p) This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.
Returns a copy of this time with the specified amount added. !(p) This returns a {@code LocalTime}, based on this one, with the amount _in terms of the unit added. If it is not possible to add the amount, because the unit is not supported or for some other reason, an exception is thrown. !(p) If the field is a {@link ChronoUnit} then the addition is implemented here. The supported fields behave as follows: !(ul) !(li){@code NANOS} - Returns a {@code LocalTime} with the specified number of nanoseconds added. This is equivalent to {@link #plusNanos(long)}. !(li){@code MICROS} - Returns a {@code LocalTime} with the specified number of microseconds added. This is equivalent to {@link #plusNanos(long)} with the amount multiplied by 1,000. !(li){@code MILLIS} - Returns a {@code LocalTime} with the specified number of milliseconds added. This is equivalent to {@link #plusNanos(long)} with the amount multiplied by 1,000,000. !(li){@code SECONDS} - Returns a {@code LocalTime} with the specified number of seconds added. This is equivalent to {@link #plusSeconds(long)}. !(li){@code MINUTES} - Returns a {@code LocalTime} with the specified number of minutes added. This is equivalent to {@link #plusMinutes(long)}. !(li){@code HOURS} - Returns a {@code LocalTime} with the specified number of hours added. This is equivalent to {@link #plusHours(long)}. !(li){@code HALF_DAYS} - Returns a {@code LocalTime} with the specified number of half-days added. This is equivalent to {@link #plusHours(long)} with the amount multiplied by 12. </ul> !(p) All other {@code ChronoUnit} instances will throw an {@code UnsupportedTemporalTypeException}. !(p) If the field is not a {@code ChronoUnit}, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking {@code TemporalUnit.addTo(Temporal, long)} passing {@code this} as the argument. In this case, the unit determines whether and how to perform the addition. !(p) This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

Returns a copy of this {@code LocalTime} with the specified number of seconds added. !(p) This adds the specified number of seconds to this time, returning a new time. The calculation wraps around midnight. !(p) This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.
Queries this time using the specified query. !(p) This queries this time using the specified query strategy object. The {@code 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. !(p) The result of this method is obtained by invoking the {@link TemporalQuery#queryFrom(TemporalAccessor)} method on the specified query passing {@code this} as the argument.
Gets the range of valid values for the specified field. !(p) The range object expresses the minimum and maximum valid values for a field. This time 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. !(p) If the field is a {@link ChronoField} then the query is implemented here. The {@link #isSupported(TemporalField) supported fields} will return appropriate range instances. All other {@code ChronoField} instances will throw an {@code UnsupportedTemporalTypeException}. !(p) If the field is not a {@code ChronoField}, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking {@code TemporalField.rangeRefinedBy(TemporalAccessor)} passing {@code this} as the argument. Whether the range can be obtained is determined by the field.
Converts this {@code LocalTime} to the number of seconds since the epoch of 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z. !(p) This combines this local time with the specified date and offset to calculate the epoch-second value, which is the number of elapsed seconds from 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z. Instants on the time-line after the epoch are positive, earlier are negative.

Extracts the time as nanos of day, from {@code 0} to {@code 24 * 60 * 60 * 1,000,000,000 - 1}.
Extracts the time as seconds of day, from {@code 0} to {@code 24 * 60 * 60 - 1}.
Outputs this time as a {@code string}, such as {@code 10:15}. !(p) The output will be one of the following ISO-8601 formats: !(ul) !(li){@code HH:mm}</li> !(li){@code HH:mm:ss}</li> !(li){@code HH:mm:ss.SSS}</li> !(li){@code HH:mm:ss.SSSSSS}</li> !(li){@code HH:mm:ss.SSSSSSSSS}</li> </ul> The format used will be the shortest that outputs the full value of the time where the omitted parts are implied to be zero.
Returns a copy of this {@code LocalTime} with the time truncated. !(p) Truncation returns a copy of the original time with fields smaller than the specified unit set to zero. For example, truncating with the {@link ChronoUnit#MINUTES minutes} unit will set the second-of-minute and nano-of-second field to zero. !(p) The unit must have a {@linkplain TemporalUnit#getDuration() duration} that divides into the length of a standard day without remainder. This includes all supplied time units on {@link ChronoUnit} and {@link ChronoUnit#DAYS DAYS}. Other units throw an exception. !(p) This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.
Calculates the amount of time until another time _in terms of the specified unit. !(p) This calculates the amount of time between two {@code LocalTime} objects _in terms of a single {@code TemporalUnit}. The start and end points are {@code this} and the specified time. The result will be negative if the end is before the start. The {@code Temporal} passed to this method is converted to a {@code LocalTime} using {@link #from(TemporalAccessor)}. For example, the amount _in hours between two times can be calculated using {@code startTime.until(endTime, HOURS)}. !(p) The calculation returns a whole number, representing the number of complete units between the two times. For example, the amount _in hours between 11:30 and 13:29 will only be one hour as it is one minute short of two hours. !(p) There are two equivalent ways of using this method. The first is to invoke this method. The second is to use {@link TemporalUnit#between(Temporal, Temporal)}: !(pre) // these two lines are equivalent amount = start.until(end, MINUTES); amount = MINUTES.between(start, end); </pre> The choice should be made based on which makes the code more readable. !(p) The calculation is implemented _in this method for {@link ChronoUnit}. The units {@code NANOS}, {@code MICROS}, {@code MILLIS}, {@code SECONDS}, {@code MINUTES}, {@code HOURS} and {@code HALF_DAYS} are supported. Other {@code ChronoUnit} values will throw an exception. !(p) If the unit is not a {@code ChronoUnit}, then the result of this method is obtained by invoking {@code TemporalUnit.between(Temporal, Temporal)} passing {@code this} as the first argument and the converted input temporal as the second argument. !(p) This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

The maximum supported {@code LocalTime}, '23:59:59.999999999'. This is the time just before midnight at the end of the day.
The time of midnight at the start of the day, '00:00'.
The minimum supported {@code LocalTime}, '00:00'. This is the time of midnight at the start of the day.
The time of noon _in the middle of the day, '12:00'.
Obtains an instance of {@code LocalTime} from a temporal object. !(p) This obtains a local time based on the specified temporal. A {@code TemporalAccessor} represents an arbitrary set of date and time information, which this factory converts to an instance of {@code LocalTime}. !(p) The conversion uses the {@link TemporalQueries#localTime()} query, which relies on extracting the {@link ChronoField#NANO_OF_DAY NANO_OF_DAY} field. !(p) This method matches the signature of the functional interface {@link TemporalQuery} allowing it to be used as a query via method reference, {@code LocalTime.from}.
Obtains the current time from the system clock _in the default time-zone. !(p) This will query the {@link Clock#systemDefaultZone() system clock} _in the default time-zone to obtain the current time. !(p) Using this method will prevent the ability to use an alternate clock for testing because the clock is hard-coded.
Obtains the current time from the system clock _in the specified time-zone. !(p) This will query the {@link Clock#system(ZoneId) system clock} to obtain the current time. Specifying the time-zone avoids dependence on the default time-zone. !(p) Using this method will prevent the ability to use an alternate clock for testing because the clock is hard-coded.
Obtains the current time from the specified clock. !(p) This will query the specified clock to obtain the current time. Using this method allows the use of an alternate clock for testing. The alternate clock may be introduced using {@link Clock dependency injection}.
Obtains an instance of {@code LocalTime} from an hour and minute. !(p) This returns a {@code LocalTime} with the specified hour and minute. The second and nanosecond fields will be set to zero.
Obtains an instance of {@code LocalTime} from an hour, minute and second. !(p) This returns a {@code LocalTime} with the specified hour, minute and second. The nanosecond field will be set to zero.
Obtains an instance of {@code LocalTime} from an hour, minute, second and nanosecond. !(p) This returns a {@code LocalTime} with the specified hour, minute, second and nanosecond.
Obtains an instance of {@code LocalTime} from an {@code Instant} and zone ID. !(p) This creates a local time based on the specified instant. First, the offset from UTC/Greenwich is obtained using the zone ID and instant, which is simple as there is only one valid offset for each instant. Then, the instant and offset are used to calculate the local time.
Obtains an instance of {@code LocalTime} from a nanos-of-day value. !(p) This returns a {@code LocalTime} with the specified nanosecond-of-day.
Obtains an instance of {@code LocalTime} from a second-of-day value. !(p) This returns a {@code LocalTime} with the specified second-of-day. The nanosecond field will be set to zero.

Checks if the specified unit is supported. !(p) This checks if the specified unit can be added to, or subtracted from, this date-time. If false, then calling the {@link #plus(long, TemporalUnit)} and {@link #minus(long, TemporalUnit) minus} methods will throw an exception.
Returns an adjusted object of the same type as this object with the adjustment made. !(p) This adjusts this date-time according to the rules of the specified adjuster. A simple adjuster might simply set the one of the fields, such as the year field. A more complex adjuster might set the date to the last day of the month. A selection of common adjustments is provided _in {@link hunt.time.temporal.TemporalAdjusters TemporalAdjusters}. These include finding the "last day of the month" and "next Wednesday". The adjuster is responsible for handling special cases, such as the varying lengths of month and leap years. !(p) Some example code indicating how and why this method is used: !(pre) date = date._with(Month.JULY); // most key classes implement TemporalAdjuster date = date._with(lastDayOfMonth()); // static import from Adjusters date = date._with(next(WEDNESDAY)); // static import from Adjusters and DayOfWeek </pre>
Returns an object of the same type as this object with the specified field altered. !(p) This returns a new object based on this one with the value for the specified field changed. For example, on a {@code LocalDate}, this could be used to set the year, month or day-of-month. The returned object will have the same observable type as this object. !(p) In some cases, changing a field is not fully defined. For example, if the target object is a date representing the 31st January, then changing the month to February would be unclear. In cases like this, the field is responsible for resolving the result. Typically it will choose the previous valid date, which would be the last valid day of February _in this example.
Returns an object of the same type as this object with an amount added. !(p) This adjusts this temporal, adding according to the rules of the specified amount. The amount is typically a {@link hunt.time.Period} but may be any other type implementing the {@link TemporalAmount} interface, such as {@link hunt.time.Duration}. !(p) Some example code indicating how and why this method is used: !(pre) date = date.plus(period); // add a Period instance date = date.plus(duration); // add a Duration instance date = date.plus(workingDays(6)); // example user-written workingDays method </pre> !(p) Note that calling {@code plus} followed by {@code minus} is not guaranteed to return the same date-time.
Returns an object of the same type as this object with the specified period added. !(p) This method returns a new object based on this one with the specified period added. For example, on a {@code LocalDate}, this could be used to add a number of years, months or days. The returned object will have the same observable type as this object. !(p) In some cases, changing a field is not fully defined. For example, if the target object is a date representing the 31st January, then adding one month would be unclear. In cases like this, the field is responsible for resolving the result. Typically it will choose the previous valid date, which would be the last valid day of February _in this example.
Returns an object of the same type as this object with an amount subtracted. !(p) This adjusts this temporal, subtracting according to the rules of the specified amount. The amount is typically a {@link hunt.time.Period} but may be any other type implementing the {@link TemporalAmount} interface, such as {@link hunt.time.Duration}. !(p) Some example code indicating how and why this method is used: !(pre) date = date.minus(period); // subtract a Period instance date = date.minus(duration); // subtract a Duration instance date = date.minus(workingDays(6)); // example user-written workingDays method </pre> !(p) Note that calling {@code plus} followed by {@code minus} is not guaranteed to return the same date-time.
Returns an object of the same type as this object with the specified period subtracted. !(p) This method returns a new object based on this one with the specified period subtracted. For example, on a {@code LocalDate}, this could be used to subtract a number of years, months or days. The returned object will have the same observable type as this object. !(p) In some cases, changing a field is not fully defined. For example, if the target object is a date representing the 31st March, then subtracting one month would be unclear. In cases like this, the field is responsible for resolving the result. Typically it will choose the previous valid date, which would be the last valid day of February _in this example.
Calculates the amount of time until another temporal _in terms of the specified unit. !(p) This calculates the amount of time between two temporal objects _in terms of a single {@code TemporalUnit}. The start and end points are {@code this} and the specified temporal. The end point is converted to be of the same type as the start point if different. The result will be negative if the end is before the start. For example, the amount _in hours between two temporal objects can be calculated using {@code startTime.until(endTime, HOURS)}. !(p) The calculation returns a whole number, representing the number of complete units between the two temporals. For example, the amount _in hours between the times 11:30 and 13:29 will only be one hour as it is one minute short of two hours. !(p) There are two equivalent ways of using this method. The first is to invoke this method directly. The second is to use {@link TemporalUnit#between(Temporal, Temporal)}: !(pre) // these two lines are equivalent temporal = start.until(end, unit); temporal = unit.between(start, end); </pre> The choice should be made based on which makes the code more readable. !(p) For example, this method allows the number of days between two dates to be calculated: !(pre) long daysBetween = start.until(end, DAYS); // or alternatively long daysBetween = DAYS.between(start, end); </pre>
Adjusts the specified temporal object. !(p) This adjusts the specified temporal object using the logic encapsulated _in the implementing class. Examples might be an adjuster that sets the date avoiding weekends, or one that sets the date to the last day of the month. !(p) There are two equivalent ways of using this method. The first is to invoke this method directly. The second is to use {@link Temporal#_with(TemporalAdjuster)}: !(pre) // these two lines are equivalent, but the second approach is recommended temporal = thisAdjuster.adjustInto(temporal); temporal = temporal._with(thisAdjuster); </pre> It is recommended to use the second approach, {@code _with(TemporalAdjuster)}, as it is a lot clearer to read _in code.
A time without a time-zone _in the ISO-8601 calendar system, such as {@code 10:15:30}. !(p) {@code LocalTime} is an immutable date-time object that represents a time, often viewed as hour-minute-second. Time is represented to nanosecond precision. For example, the value "13:45.30.123456789" can be stored _in a {@code LocalTime}. !(p) This class does not store or represent a date or time-zone. Instead, it is a description of the local time as seen on a wall clock. It cannot represent an instant on the time-line without additional information such as an offset or time-zone. !(p) The ISO-8601 calendar system is the modern civil calendar system used today _in most of the world. This API assumes that all calendar systems use the same representation, this class, for time-of-day.
!(p) This is a <a href="{@docRoot}/java.base/java/lang/doc-files/ValueBased.html">value-based</a> class; use of identity-sensitive operations (including reference equality ({@code ==}), identity hash code, or synchronization) on instances of {@code LocalTime} may have unpredictable results and should be avoided. The {@code equals} method should be used for comparisons.
@implSpec This class is immutable and thread-safe.
