Class Seconds

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Comparable<Seconds>, TemporalAmount

    public final class Seconds
    extends Object
    implements TemporalAmount, Comparable<Seconds>, Serializable
    A second-based amount of time, such as '8 seconds'.

    This class models a quantity or amount of time in terms of seconds. It is a type-safe way of representing a number of seconds in an application. Note that Duration also models time in terms of seconds, but that class allows nanoseconds, which this class does not.

    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 Seconds of​(int seconds)
        Obtains a Seconds representing a number of seconds.

        The resulting amount will have the specified seconds.

        Parameters:
        seconds - the number of seconds, positive or negative
        Returns:
        the number of seconds, not null
      • ofHours

        public static Seconds ofHours​(int hours)
        Obtains a Seconds representing the number of seconds equivalent to a number of hours.

        The resulting amount will be second-based, with the number of seconds equal to the number of hours multiplied by 3600.

        Parameters:
        hours - the number of hours, positive or negative
        Returns:
        the amount with the input hours converted to seconds, not null
        Throws:
        ArithmeticException - if numeric overflow occurs
      • ofMinutes

        public static Seconds ofMinutes​(int minutes)
        Obtains a Seconds representing the number of seconds equivalent to a number of hours.

        The resulting amount will be second-based, with the number of seconds equal to the number of minutes multiplied by 60.

        Parameters:
        minutes - the number of minutes, positive or negative
        Returns:
        the amount with the input minutes converted to seconds, not null
        Throws:
        ArithmeticException - if numeric overflow occurs
      • from

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

        This obtains an instance based on the specified amount. A TemporalAmount represents an amount of time, which may be date-based or time-based, which this factory extracts to a Seconds.

        The result is calculated by looping around each unit in the specified amount. Each amount is converted to seconds using Temporals.convertAmount(long, java.time.temporal.TemporalUnit, java.time.temporal.TemporalUnit). If the conversion yields a remainder, an exception is thrown. If the amount is zero, the unit is ignored.

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

        public static Seconds parse​(CharSequence text)
        Obtains a Seconds from a text string such as PTnS.

        This will parse the string produced by toString() and other related formats based on ISO-8601 PnDTnHnMnS.

        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 four sections consisting of a number and a suffix. There is one section for days suffixed by "D", followed by one section for hours suffixed by "H", followed by one section for minutes suffixed by "M", followed by one section for seconds suffixed by "S". At least one section must be present. If the hours, minutes or seconds section is present it must be prefixed by "T". If the hours, minutes or seconds section is omitted the "T" must be omitted. Letters must be in ASCII upper or lower case. 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.

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

        For example, the following are valid inputs:

           "PT2S"            -- Seconds.of(2)
           "PT-2S"           -- Seconds.of(-2)
           "-PT2S"           -- Seconds.of(-2)
           "-PT-2S"          -- Seconds.of(2)
           "PT3S"            -- Seconds.of(3 * 60)
           "PT3H-2M7S"       -- Seconds.of(3 * 3600 - 2 * 60 + 7)
           "P2D"             -- Seconds.of(2 * 86400)
           "P2DT3H"          -- Seconds.of(2 * 86400 + 3 * 3600)
         
        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

      • subtractFrom

        public Temporal subtractFrom​(Temporal temporal)
        Subtracts this amount from the specified temporal object.

        This returns a temporal object of the same observable type as the input with this amount subtracted.

        In most cases, it is clearer to reverse the calling pattern by using Temporal.minus(TemporalAmount).

           // these two lines are equivalent, but the second approach is recommended
           dateTime = thisAmount.subtractFrom(dateTime);
           dateTime = dateTime.minus(thisAmount);
         

        Only non-zero amounts will be subtracted.

        This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.
