Java 8 – How to compare two OffsetDateTime instances ?

August 19, 2022 SJ Java 8, Java 8 Date/Time 0

In this article, we will discuss different ways to compare two instances of OffsetDateTime in Java 1.8 version

1. Comparing two OffsetDateTime instances :

There are different methods available to compare two OffsetDateTime instances, those are –

  1. compareTo(OffsetDateTime) –
    • This method compares invoking OffsetDateTime with another OffsetDateTime
  2. isBefore(OffsetDateTime) –
    • This method checks if invoking OffsetDateTime is before the specified OffsetDateTime
  3. isAfter(OffsetDateTime) –
    • This method checks if invoking OffsetDateTime is after the specified OffsetDateTime
  4. isEqual(OffsetDateTime) –
    • This method checks if invoking OffsetDateTime is equal to the specified OffsetDateTime
  5. equals(Object) –
    • This method checks if invoking OffsetDateTimeis equal to another OffsetDateTime

2. Examples for Comparing two OffsetDateTime :

  1. Using compareTo(OffsetDateTime) method
  2. Using isBefore(OffsetDateTime) method
  3. Using isAfter(OffsetDateTime) method
  4. Using isEqual(OffsetDateTime) method
  5. Using equals(Object) method

2.1 Using compareTo(OffsetDateTime) method :

  • This method compares invoking OffsetDateTime with another OffsetDateTime and returns integer value based on the comparison
    1. Returns Zero, if both OffsetDateTime in comparison are equal
    2. Returns Positive value, if invoking OffsetDateTime is latter-than (greater-than) the specified OffsetDateTime
    3. Returns Negative value, if invoking OffsetDateTime is earlier-than (lesser-than) the specified OffsetDateTime

CompareTwoOffsetDateTimeUsingCompareToMethod.java

package in.bench.resources.java8.offsetdatetime.examples;

import java.time.OffsetDateTime;
import java.time.ZoneOffset;

public class CompareTwoOffsetDateTimeUsingCompareToMethod {

	public static void main(String[] args) {

		// 1. get Local Offset Date/time
		ZoneOffset zoneOffsetLocal = ZoneOffset.of("+05:30");
		OffsetDateTime currentOffsetDateTime = OffsetDateTime
				.of(2022, 8, 15, 12, 30, 30, 500, zoneOffsetLocal);
		System.out.println("1. Current Offset Date/time is = " + currentOffsetDateTime);


		// 2. form Past Offset Date/time
		ZoneOffset zoneOffsetPast = ZoneOffset.of("+10:30");
		OffsetDateTime pastOffsetDateTime = OffsetDateTime
				.of(2022, 8, 15, 12, 30, 30, 500, zoneOffsetPast);
		System.out.println("2. Past Offset Date/time is = " + pastOffsetDateTime);


		// 3. form Future Offset Date/time
		ZoneOffset zoneOffsetFuture = ZoneOffset.of("-09:30");
		OffsetDateTime futureOffsetDateTime = OffsetDateTime
				.of(2022, 8, 15, 12, 30, 30, 500, zoneOffsetFuture);
		System.out.println("3. Future Offset Date/time is = " + futureOffsetDateTime);



		// 4. LocalDateTime comparison using compareTo() method
		System.out.println("\n\n4. Comparison with compareTo() method :- \n");


		// 4.1 check whether currentOffsetDateTime Older-than futureOffsetDateTime
		int compareTo1 = currentOffsetDateTime.compareTo(futureOffsetDateTime);
		System.out.println("4.1 Current Offset Date/time (" + currentOffsetDateTime 
				+ ") \n\t is Older-than Future Offset Date/time (" + futureOffsetDateTime + ") ? " 
				+ (compareTo1 < 0));


		// 4.2 check whether currentOffsetDateTime Latter-than futureOffsetDateTime
		int compareTo2 = currentOffsetDateTime.compareTo(futureOffsetDateTime);
		System.out.println("4.2 Current Offset Date/time (" + currentOffsetDateTime 
				+ ") \n\t is Latter-than Future Offset Date/time (" + futureOffsetDateTime + ") ? " 
				+ (compareTo2 > 0));


		// 4.3 check whether currentOffsetDateTime Older-than pastOffsetDateTime
		int compareTo3 = currentOffsetDateTime.compareTo(pastOffsetDateTime);
		System.out.println("4.3 Current Offset Date/time (" + currentOffsetDateTime 
				+ ") \n\t is Older than Past Offset Date/time (" + pastOffsetDateTime + ") ? " 
				+ (compareTo3 < 0));


		// 4.4 check whether currentOffsetDateTime Latter-than pastOffsetDateTime
		int compareTo4 = currentOffsetDateTime.compareTo(pastOffsetDateTime);
		System.out.print("4.4 Current Offset Date/time (" + currentOffsetDateTime 
				+ ") \n\t is Latter-than Past Offset Date/time (" + pastOffsetDateTime + ") ? " 
				+ (compareTo4 > 0));
	}
}

Output:

1. Current Offset Date/time is = 2022-08-15T12:30:30.000000500+05:30
2. Past Offset Date/time is = 2022-08-15T12:30:30.000000500+10:30
3. Future Offset Date/time is = 2022-08-15T12:30:30.000000500-09:30


4. Comparison with compareTo() method :- 

4.1 Current Offset Date/time (2022-08-15T12:30:30.000000500+05:30) 
	 is Older-than Future Offset Date/time (2022-08-15T12:30:30.000000500-09:30) ? true
4.2 Current Offset Date/time (2022-08-15T12:30:30.000000500+05:30) 
	 is Latter-than Future Offset Date/time (2022-08-15T12:30:30.000000500-09:30) ? false
4.3 Current Offset Date/time (2022-08-15T12:30:30.000000500+05:30) 
	 is Older than Past Offset Date/time (2022-08-15T12:30:30.000000500+10:30) ? false
4.4 Current Offset Date/time (2022-08-15T12:30:30.000000500+05:30) 
	 is Latter-than Past Offset Date/time (2022-08-15T12:30:30.000000500+10:30) ? true

2.2 Using isBefore(OffsetDateTime) method :

  • This method checks if invoking OffsetDateTime is before the specified OffsetDateTime
    1. Returns true, if invoking OffsetDateTime is before the specified OffsetDateTime
    2. Returns false, if invoking OffsetDateTime is not before the specified OffsetDateTime
    3. Always returns false for self-comparing OffsetDateTime objects

				.of(2022, 8, 15, 12, 30, 30, 500, zoneOffsetFuture);
		System.out.println("4. Future Offset Date/time is = " + futureOffsetDateTime);



		// 5. OffsetDateTime comparison using isEqual() method
		System.out.println("\n\n5. Check two OffsetDateTime are equal using equals() method :- \n");


		// 5.1 check whether currentOffsetDateTime & currentOffsetDateTime2 are same ?
		boolean equals1 = currentOffsetDateTime.equals(currentOffsetDateTime2);
		System.out.println("5.1 Current Offset Date/time (" + currentOffsetDateTime 
				+ ") \n\t & Current Offset Date/time (" + currentOffsetDateTime2 + ") are equal ?\t "
