Subtract one minute from Current time

Hi There,

I’m newbie to Salesforce.

I would like to know the syntax “How to subtract one minute and two minutes from the current time”? I have checked in Datemethods in Apex documentation. No luck found.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Hi,

This will work:

For 1 minute:   NOW() - (1/1440)
For 2 minutes:  NOW() - (2/1440)

Thanks,

Hii Geek,
   you can try like this for subtracting from minute 
    
DateTime myDateTime = DateTime.newInstance(2001, 2, 27, 3, 3, 3);
 integer minute = myDateTime.minute()-2;
System.debug('time is'+minute);
or you can try like this if you want to perform the operation with current time  
DateTime Cdatetime = DateTime.now();  
system.debug('current date time is '+cdateTime);
Integer min = cdateTime.minute();
system.debug('current minute value is '+min);
Integer twominuteBefore = min-2;
system.debug('two minute befor minute was'+twominuteBefore);

If  your problem solved then please mark it as best answer

Thanks
