Duration

Extends:

TemporalAmount → Duration

A time-based amount of time, such as '34.5 seconds'.

This class models a quantity or amount of time in terms of seconds and nanoseconds. It can be accessed using other duration-based units, such as minutes and hours. In addition, the ChronoUnit#DAYS unit can be used and is treated as exactly equal to 24 hours, thus ignoring daylight savings effects. See Period for the date-based equivalent to this class.

A physical duration could be of infinite length. For practicality, the duration is stored with constraints similar to Instant. The duration uses nanosecond resolution with a maximum value of the seconds that can be held in a long. This is greater than the current estimated age of the universe.

The range of a duration requires the storage of a number larger than a long. To achieve this, the class stores a long representing seconds and an int representing nanosecond-of-second, which will always be between 0 and 999,999,999.

The duration is measured in "seconds", but these are not necessarily identical to the scientific "SI second" definition based on atomic clocks. This difference only impacts durations measured near a leap-second and should not affect most applications. See Instant for a discussion as to the meaning of the second and time-scales.

Static properties of Class Duration

Static Public Methods

public static between(startInclusive: Temporal, endExclusive: Temporal): Duration source

Obtains an instance of Duration representing the duration between two instants.

Obtains a Duration representing the duration between two instants. This calculates the duration between two temporal objects of the same type. The difference in seconds is calculated using Temporal#until. The difference in nanoseconds is calculated using by querying the ChronoField#NANO_OF_SECOND field.

The result of this method can be a negative period if the end is before the start. To guarantee to obtain a positive duration call abs() on the result.

Params:

Name	Type	Attribute	Description
startInclusive	Temporal		the start instant, inclusive, not null
endExclusive	Temporal		the end instant, exclusive, not null

This obtains a duration 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 duration.

The conversion loops around the set of units from the amount and uses the duration of the unit to calculate the total Duration. Only a subset of units are accepted by this method. The unit must either have an exact duration or be ChronoUnit.DAYS which is treated as 24 hours. If any other units are found then an exception is thrown.

Params:

Name	Type	Attribute	Description
amount	TemporalAmount		the temporal amount to convert, not null

Return:

The parameters represent the two parts of a phrase like '6 Hours'. For example:

 Duration.of(3, SECONDS);
 Duration.of(465, HOURS);

Only a subset of units are accepted by this method. The unit must either have an exact duration (see TemporalUnit#isDurationEstimated) or be ChronoUnit#DAYS which is treated as 24 hours. Other units throw an exception.

public static ofSeconds(seconds: Number, nanoAdjustment: Number): Duration source

Obtains an instance of Duration from a number of seconds and an adjustment in nanoseconds.

This method allows an arbitrary number of nanoseconds to be passed in. The factory will alter the values of the second and nanosecond in order to ensure that the stored nanosecond is in the range 0 to 999,999,999. For example, the following will result in the exactly the same duration:

 Duration.ofSeconds(3, 1);

public static parse(text: String): Duration source

Obtains a Duration from a text string such as PnDTnHnMn.nS.

This will parse a textual representation of a duration, including the string produced by toString. The formats accepted are based on the ISO-8601 duration format PnDTnHnMn.nS with days considered to be exactly 24 hours.

The string starts with an optional sign, denoted by the ASCII negative or positive symbol. If negative, the whole period is negated. The ASCII letter "P" is next in upper or lower case. There are then four sections, each consisting of a number and a suffix. The sections have suffixes in ASCII of "D", "H", "M" and "S" for days, hours, minutes and seconds, accepted in upper or lower case. The suffixes must occur in order. The ASCII letter "T" must occur before the first occurrence, if any, of an hour, minute or second section. At least one of the four sections must be present, and if "T" is present there must be at least one section after the "T". The number part of each section must consist of one or more ASCII digits. The number may be prefixed by the ASCII negative or positive symbol. The number of days, hours and minutes must parse to a long. The number of seconds must parse to a long with optional fraction. The decimal point may be either a dot or a comma. The fractional part may have from zero to 9 digits.

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

Examples:

   "PT20.345S" -> parses as "20.345 seconds"
   "PT15M"     -> parses as "15 minutes" (where a minute is 60 seconds)
   "PT10H"     -> parses as "10 hours" (where an hour is 3600 seconds)
   "P2D"       -> parses as "2 days" (where a day is 24 hours or 86400 seconds)
   "P2DT3H4M"  -> parses as "2 days, 3 hours and 4 minutes"
   "P-6H3M"    -> parses as "-6 hours and +3 minutes"
   "-P6H3M"    -> parses as "-6 hours and -3 minutes"
   "-P-6H+3M"  -> parses as "+6 hours and -3 minutes"

public toString(): string source

A string representation of this duration using ISO-8601 seconds based representation, such as PT8H6M12.345S.

The format of the returned string will be PTnHnMnS, where n is the relevant hours, minutes or seconds part of the duration. Any fractional seconds are placed after a decimal point in the seconds section. If a section has a zero value, it is omitted. The hours, minutes and seconds will all have the same sign.

Examples:

   "20.345 seconds"                 -> "PT20.345S
   "15 minutes" (15  60 seconds)   -> "PT15M"
   "10 hours" (10  3600 seconds)   -> "PT10H"
   "2 days" (2 * 86400 seconds)     -> "PT48H"

Note that multiples of 24 hours are not output as days to avoid confusion with Period.

Return:

string

an ISO-8601 representation of this duration, not null

public units(): undefined[] source

Returns the list of units uniquely defining the value of this TemporalAmount. The list of TemporalUnits is defined by the implementation class. The list is a snapshot of the units at the time getUnits is called and is not mutable. The units are ordered from longest duration to the shortest duration of the unit.

Override:

TemporalAmount#units

Return:

undefined[]

public withNanos(nanoOfSecond: Number): Duration source

Returns a copy of this duration with the specified nano-of-second.

This returns a duration with the specified nano-of-second, retaining the seconds part of this duration.

This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

Params:

Name	Type	Attribute	Description
nanoOfSecond	Number		the nano-of-second to represent, from 0 to 999,999,999

Return:

Duration

based on this period with the requested nano-of-second, not null

Throw:

*	DateTimeException if the nano-of-second is invalid

public withSeconds(seconds: Number): Duration source

Returns a copy of this duration with the specified amount of seconds.

This returns a duration with the specified seconds, retaining the nano-of-second part of this duration.

This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

Params:

Name	Type	Attribute	Description
seconds	Number		the seconds to represent, may be negative

Return:

Duration

based on this period with the requested seconds, not null
