Class PeriodDuration

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, TemporalAmount

    public final class PeriodDuration
    extends Object
    implements TemporalAmount, Serializable
    An amount of time in the ISO-8601 calendar system that combines a period and a duration.

    This class models a quantity or amount of time in terms of a Period and Duration. A period is a date-based amount of time, consisting of years, months and days. A duration is a time-based amount of time, consisting of seconds and nanoseconds. See the Period and Duration classes for more details.

    The days in a period take account of daylight saving changes (23 or 25 hour days). When performing calculations, the period is added first, then the duration.

    The model is of a directed amount, meaning that the amount may be negative.

    Implementation Requirements:

    This class is immutable and thread-safe.

    This class must be treated as a value type. Do not synchronize, rely on the identity hash code or use the distinction between equals() and ==.

      • of

        public static PeriodDuration of​(Period period,
                                        Duration duration)
        Obtains an instance based on a period and duration.

        The total amount of time of the resulting instance is the period plus the duration.

        Parameters:
        period - the period, not null
        duration - the duration, not null
        Returns:
        the combined period-duration, not null
      • of

        public static PeriodDuration of​(Period period)
        Obtains an instance based on a period.

        The duration will be zero.

        Parameters:
        period - the period, not null
        Returns:
        the combined period-duration, not null
      • of

        public static PeriodDuration of​(Duration duration)
        Obtains an instance based on a duration.

        The period will be zero.

        Parameters:
        duration - the duration, not null
        Returns:
        the combined period-duration, not null
      • from

        public static PeriodDuration from​(TemporalAmount amount)
        Obtains an instance from a temporal amount.

        This obtains an instance based on the specified amount. A TemporalAmount represents an amount of time which this factory extracts to a PeriodDuration.

        The result is calculated by looping around each unit in the specified amount. Any amount that is zero is ignore. If a unit has an exact duration, it will be totalled using Duration.plus(Duration). If the unit is days or weeks, it will be totalled into the days part of the period. If the unit is months or quarters, it will be totalled into the months part of the period. If the unit is years, decades, centuries or millennia, it will be totalled into the years part of the period.

        Parameters:
        amount - the temporal amount to convert, not null
        Returns:
        the equivalent duration, not null
        Throws:
        DateTimeException - if unable to convert to a Duration
        ArithmeticException - if numeric overflow occurs
      • parse

        public static PeriodDuration parse​(CharSequence text)
        Obtains an instance from a text string such as PnYnMnDTnHnMnS.

        This will parse the string produced by toString() which is based on the ISO-8601 period formats PnYnMnDTnHnMnS and PnW.

        The string starts with an optional sign, denoted by the ASCII negative or positive symbol. If negative, the whole amount is negated. The ASCII letter "P" is next in upper or lower case. There are then a number of sections, each consisting of a number and a suffix. At least one of the sections must be present. The sections have suffixes in ASCII of "Y" for years, "M" for months, "W" for weeks, "D" for days, "H" for hours, "M" for minutes, "S" for seconds, accepted in upper or lower case. Note that the ASCII letter "T" separates the date and time parts and must be present if any time part is present. The suffixes must occur in order. The number part of each section must consist of ASCII digits. The number may be prefixed by the ASCII negative or positive symbol. The number must parse to an int. Any week-based input is multiplied by 7 and treated as a number of days.

        The leading plus/minus sign, and negative values for weeks and days are not part of the ISO-8601 standard.

        Note that the date style format PYYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS is not supported.

        For example, the following are valid inputs:

           "P2Y"             -- PeriodDuration.of(Period.ofYears(2))
           "P3M"             -- PeriodDuration.of(Period.ofMonths(3))
           "P4W"             -- PeriodDuration.of(Period.ofWeeks(4))
           "P5D"             -- PeriodDuration.of(Period.ofDays(5))
           "PT6H"            -- PeriodDuration.of(Duration.ofHours(6))
           "P1Y2M3D"         -- PeriodDuration.of(Period.of(1, 2, 3))
           "P1Y2M3W4DT8H"    -- PeriodDuration.of(Period.of(1, 2, 25), Duration.ofHours(8))
           "P-1Y2M"          -- PeriodDuration.of(Period.of(-1, 2, 0))
           "-P1Y2M"          -- PeriodDuration.of(Period.of(-1, -2, 0))
         
        Parameters:
        text - the text to parse, not null
        Returns:
        the parsed period, not null
        Throws:
        DateTimeParseException - if the text cannot be parsed to a period
      • between

        public static PeriodDuration between​(Temporal startInclusive,
                                             Temporal endExclusive)
        Obtains an instance consisting of the amount of time between two temporals.

        The start is included, but the end is not. The result of this method can be negative if the end is before the start.

        The calculation examines the temporals and extracts LocalDate and LocalTime. If the time is missing, it will be defaulted to midnight. If one date is missing, it will be defaulted to the other date. It then finds the amount of time between the two dates and between the two times.

        Parameters:
        startInclusive - the start, inclusive, not null
        endExclusive - the end, exclusive, not null
        Returns:
        the number of days between this date and the end date, not null

      • normalizedYears

        public PeriodDuration normalizedYears()
        Returns a copy of this instance with the years and months exactly normalized.

        This normalizes the years and months units, leaving the days unit unchanged. The result is exact, always representing the same amount of time.

        The months unit is adjusted to have an absolute value less than 11, with the years unit being adjusted to compensate. For example, a period of "1 year and 15 months" will be normalized to "2 years and 3 months".

        The sign of the years and months units will be the same after normalization. For example, a period of "1 year and -25 months" will be normalized to "-1 year and -1 month".

        Note that no normalization is performed on the days or duration.

        This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

        Returns:
        a PeriodDuration based on this one with excess months normalized to years, not null
        Throws:
        ArithmeticException - if numeric overflow occurs
      • normalizedStandardDays

        public PeriodDuration normalizedStandardDays()
        Returns a copy of this instance with the days and duration normalized using the standard day of 24 hours.

        This normalizes the days and duration, leaving the years and months unchanged. The result uses a standard day length of 24 hours.

        This combines the duration seconds with the number of days and shares the total seconds between the two fields. For example, a period of "2 days and 86401 seconds" will be normalized to "3 days and 1 second".

        The sign of the days and duration will be the same after normalization. For example, a period of "1 day and -172801 seconds" will be normalized to "-1 day and -1 second".

        Note that no normalization is performed on the years or months.

        This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

        Returns:
        a PeriodDuration based on this one with excess duration normalized to days, not null
        Throws:
        ArithmeticException - if numeric overflow occurs
      • addTo

        public Temporal addTo​(Temporal temporal)
        Adds this amount to the specified temporal object.

        This returns a temporal object of the same observable type as the input with this amount added. This simply adds the period and duration to the temporal.

        This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

        Specified by:
