InstantDemo1.java

import java.time.Instant;

    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        Instant instant = Instant.parse("2017-12-03T10:15:30.00Z");

        /*
         * Parameters:
         *
         * secondsToAdd - the seconds to add, positive or negative

         * added, not null

         * an Instant based on this instant with the specified
         * milliseconds added, not null
