Last Updated : 11 Dec, 2018

The of(String) method of ZoneOffset Class in java.time package is used to obtain an instance of ZoneOffset using the offsetId passed as the parameter. This method takes the offsetId as parameter in the form of String and converts it into the ZoneOffset. The ID of the returned offset will be normalized to one of the formats described by getId(). The list of String offsetId accepted by this method are as follows:

Z - for UTC
+h
+hh
+hh:mm
-hh:mm
+hhmm
-hhmm
+hh:mm:ss
-hh:mm:ss
+hhmmss
-hhmmss

Note:

Syntax:

public static ZoneOffset of(String offsetId)

Parameters:

offsetId

Return Value:

ZoneOffset instance

Exception:

DateTimeException

Example 1:

Java

// Java code to illustrate of() method

import java.time.*;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // Get the offset ID
        String offsetId = "Z";

        // ZoneOffset using of() method
        ZoneOffset zoneOffset
            = ZoneOffset.of(offsetId);

        System.out.println(zoneOffset);
    }
}

Output:

Example 2:

Java

// Java code to illustrate of() method

import java.time.*;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // Get the invalid offset ID
        String offsetId = "10:10";

        try {
            // ZoneOffset using of() method
            ZoneOffset zoneOffset
                = ZoneOffset.of(offsetId);
        }

        catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println(e);
        }
