Go – Add hours, minutes, seconds to current time in Go

Here, we are going to learn about how to add hours, minutes, seconds to current time in Go. We will learn it by example and program.

Add() method of time structure will be used to add hours, minutes, seconds to current time.

Function prototype:

func (t Time) Add(d Duration) Time

Return value:

Add() function in time package returns the time t+d.

Example with code:

package main

import (

  "fmt"
  "time"
)

func main() {


  curr_time := time.Now()


  afterTenSeconds := curr_time.Add(time.Second * 10)

  afterTenMinutes := curr_time.Add(time.Minute * 10)

  afterTenHours := curr_time.Add(time.Hour * 10)

  afterTenDays := curr_time.Add(time.Hour * 24 * 10)


  fmt.Println("Current time: ", curr_time)

  fmt.Println("afterTenSeconds: ", afterTenSeconds)

  fmt.Println("afterTenMinutes: ", afterTenMinutes)

  fmt.Println("afterTenHours: ", afterTenHours)

  fmt.Println("afterTenDays: ", afterTenDays)

}

Output:

$ go run sample.go
