What is Duration.toMinutesPart() in Java?

toMinutesPart() is an instance method of the Duration class, which is used to obtain the number of minutes part in the Duration object. The number of minutes part is calculated by taking the modulus of the value that is returned by the toMinutes() method with the value 60. This is based on the traditional 60-minute definition of an hour. This method was introduced in Java version 9.

The toMinutesPart method is defined in the Duration class. The Duration class is defined in the java.time package. To import the Duration class, we check the following import statement:

import java.time.Duration;
