InstantDemo1.java

import java.time.Instant;

public class InstantDemo1
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        Instant instant = Instant.now();
        System.out.println("instant = "+instant);

        /*
         * Returns:the seconds from the epoch of 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
         */
        long secondValue = instant.getEpochSecond();
        System.out.println("secondValue = "+secondValue);

        /*
         * Returns:the nanoseconds within the second, always positive,
         * never exceeds 999,999,999
         */
        long nanoValue = instant.getNano();
        System.out.println("nanoValue   = "+nanoValue);
       
    }

}

Output

instant = 2018-03-24T04:12:53.409Z
secondValue = 1521864773
nanoValue   = 409000000
