// Java program to compare time using 
// compareTo() method

import java.util.*;
import java.time.*;

public class Main {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    LocalTime time1;
    LocalTime time2;
    LocalTime time3;

    time1 = LocalTime.of(10, 15, 18); //10:15:18
    time2 = LocalTime.of(11, 45, 46); //11:45:46
    time3 = LocalTime.of(11, 45, 46); //11:45:46

    if (time1.compareTo(time2) > 0)
      System.out.println("time1 is later than time2.");
    else if (time1.compareTo(time2) < 0)
      System.out.println("time2 is later than time1.");
    else
      System.out.println("time1 and time2 are same.");

    if (time2.compareTo(time3) > 0)
      System.out.println("time2 is later than time3.");
    else if (time2.compareTo(time3) < 0)
      System.out.println("time3 is later than time2.");
    else
      System.out.println("time2 and time3 are same.");
  }
}

Output

time2 is later than time1.
time2 and time3 are same.
