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 {@link ChronoUnit#DAYS 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 {@code 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 {@code long}. To achieve this, the class stores a {@code long} representing seconds and an {@code 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 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 {@link Temporal#until(Temporal, TemporalUnit)}. The difference in nanoseconds is calculated using by querying the {@link ChronoField#NANO_OF_SECOND 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.

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:

public static parse(text: String): Duration source

Obtains a Duration from a text string such as {@code PnDTnHnMn.nS}.

This will parse a textual representation of a duration, including the string produced by {@code toString()}. The formats accepted are based on the ISO-8601 duration format {@code 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 {@code long}. The number of seconds must parse to a {@code 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"

Gets the number of days in this duration.

This returns the total number of days in the duration by dividing the number of seconds by 86400. This is based on the standard definition of a day as 24 hours.

This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

Return:

number

the number of days in the duration, may be negative

public toHours(): number source

Gets the number of hours in this duration.

This returns the total number of hours in the duration by dividing the number of seconds by 3600.

This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

Return:

number

the number of hours in the duration, may be negative

public toMillis(): number source

Converts this duration to the total length in milliseconds.

If this duration is too large to fit in a {@code long} milliseconds, then an exception is thrown.

If this duration 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.

Return:

number

the total length of the duration in milliseconds

Throw:

*

ArithmeticException if numeric overflow occurs

public toMinutes(): number source

Gets the number of minutes in this duration.

This returns the total number of minutes in the duration by dividing the number of seconds by 60.

This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

Return:

number

the number of minutes in the duration, may be negative

public toNanos(): number source

Converts this duration to the total length in nanoseconds expressed as a {@code long}.

If this duration is too large to fit in a {@code long} nanoseconds, then an exception is thrown.

Return:

number

the total length of the duration in nanoseconds

Throw:

*

ArithmeticException if numeric overflow occurs

public toSeconds(): number source

Converts this duration to the total length in seconds and fractional nanoseconds expressed as a {@code BigDecimal}.

Return:

number

the total length of the duration in seconds, with a scale of 9, not null

public toString(): string source

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

The format of the returned string will be {@code PTnHnMnS}, where n is the relevant hours, minutes or seconds part of the duration. Any fractional seconds are placed after a decimal povar i 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 {@code Period}.

Return:

string

an ISO-8601 representation of this duration, not null

public units(): * source

Return:

*

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:

NameTypeAttributeDescription
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:

NameTypeAttributeDescription
seconds Number

the seconds to represent, may be negative

Return:

Duration

based on this period with the requested seconds, not null
