Compares this instant to the specified instant.
The comparison is based on the time-line position of the instants. It is "consistent with equals".
the comparator value, negative if less, positive if greater
the other instant to compare to
Checks if this instant is after the specified instant.
The comparison is based on the time-line position of the instants.
true if this instant is after the specified instant
the other instant to compare to
Checks if this instant is before the specified instant.
The comparison is based on the time-line position of the instants.
true if this instant is before the specified instant
the other instant to compare to

Converts this instant to the number of milliseconds from the epoch
of 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z.
If this instant represents a point on the time-line too far in the future
or past to fit in a long milliseconds, then an exception is thrown.
If this instant has greater than millisecond precision, then the conversion will drop any excess precision information as though the amount in nanoseconds was subject to integer division by one million.
the number of milliseconds since the epoch of 1970-01-01T00:00:00Z
ArithmeticException if numeric overflow occurs
