Date and Time Operators

You can use the following operators for date, time, and dateTime data types.

Operator	Description
+	Addition (use only when the second argument is a duration)
-	Subtraction (use only when the second argument is a duration)
==	Equals
!=	Not Equals
>	Greater than
>=	Greater than or Equals
<	Less than
<=	Less than or Equals
format	Returns the formatted string of date-time using the provided XSLT 2.0 format picture. Examples: travelDate.format("[M01]/[D01]/[Y0001] [H01]:[m01] [z]") returns "02/24/2020 18:37 GMT+00:00" travelDate.format("[h1]:[m01] [P] on [MNn] [D]") returns "6:37 pm on February 24"
+	Addition
-	Subtraction
==	Equals

Date Operators

In addition, there are some specific operators that you can use on each of date, time, and dateTime data types.

Date Operator	Description
year	Returns a number representing the year component of the date-time argument.
month	Returns a number representing the month component of the date-time argument.
day	Returns a number representing the day component of the date-time argument.

Time Operators

Time Operator	Description
hours	Returns a number between 0 and 23, both inclusive, representing the hours component of the date-time argument.
minutes	Returns a number between 0 and 59, both inclusive, representing the minutes component of the date-time argument.
seconds	Returns a number between 0 and 59, both inclusive, representing the seconds component of the date-time argument.
timezone	Returns an interval value, representing the time offset from UTC.

Date-Time Operators

Date-Time Operator	Description
year	Returns a number representing the year component of the date-time argument.
month	Returns a number representing the month component of the date-time argument.
day	Returns a number representing the day component of the date-time argument.
hours	Returns a number between 0 and 23, both inclusive, representing the hours component of the date-time argument.
minutes	Returns a number between 0 and 59, both inclusive, representing the minutes component of the date-time argument.
seconds	Returns a number between 0 and 59, both inclusive, representing the seconds component of the date-time argument.
timezone	Returns an interval value, representing the time offset from UTC.
toTimezone	Returns the date-time expressed in the time offset corresponding to the timezone ID provided. You have the following options for specifying a timezone ID: Provide a fixed offset from UTC/Greenwich, such as "-07:00". For example: dateTimeDO.toTimezone("-07:00") returns 2002-11-30T17:20:00-07:00 when dateTimeDO is 2002-12-01T01:20:00+01:00 Specify a geographical region, which is an area where a specific set of rules for finding the offset from UTC/Greenwich apply. A geographical region is usually represented in the format "{area}/{city}", such as "Europe/Amsterdam" or "America/New_York". For example: dateTimeDO.toTimezone("America/Los_Angeles") returns 2002-11-30T16:20:00-08:00 when dateTimeDO is 2002-12-01T01:20:00+01:00 dateTimeDO.toTimezone("America/Los_Angeles") returns 2002-06-30T17:20:00-07:00 when dateTimeDO is 2002-07-01T01:20:00+01:00 Note: You must include double quotation marks around the timezone ID value. For more information about timezone IDs, see Class ZoneId in the Java Platform documentation.
