Querying LocalTime

You can use instance methods like getXX() to query LocalTime on its hour, minutes, seconds, and nanoseconds. All these methods return an int value:

System.out.println(time.getHour());
System.out.println(time.getMinute());
System.out.println(time.getSecond());
System.out.println(time.getNano());

Here’s the output:

16
20
12
98547

You can use the instance methods isAfter() and isBefore() to check whether a time is after or ...
