     ↳ org.joda.time.Seconds

Class Overview

An immutable time period representing a number of seconds.

Seconds is an immutable period that can only store seconds. It does not store years, months or hours for example. As such it is a type-safe way of representing a number of seconds in an application.

The number of seconds is set in the constructor, and may be queried using getSeconds(). Basic mathematical operations are provided - plus(), minus(), multipliedBy() and dividedBy().

Seconds is thread-safe and immutable.

Public Methods

public Seconds dividedBy (int divisor)

Returns a new instance with the seconds divided by the specified divisor. The calculation uses integer division, thus 3 divided by 2 is 1.

This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

Parameters
divisor the amount to divide by, may be negative
Returns
  • the new period divided by the specified divisor
Throws
ArithmeticException if the divisor is zero

public DurationFieldType getFieldType ()

Gets the duration field type, which is seconds.

Returns
  • the period type

public PeriodType getPeriodType ()

Gets the period type, which is seconds.

Returns
  • the period type

public int getSeconds ()

Gets the number of seconds that this period represents.

Returns
  • the number of seconds in the period

public boolean isGreaterThan (Seconds other)

Is this seconds instance greater than the specified number of seconds.

Parameters
other the other period, null means zero
Returns
  • true if this seconds instance is greater than the specified one

public boolean isLessThan (Seconds other)

Is this seconds instance less than the specified number of seconds.

Parameters
other the other period, null means zero
Returns
  • true if this seconds instance is less than the specified one

public Seconds minus (int seconds)

Returns a new instance with the specified number of seconds taken away.

This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

Parameters
seconds the amount of seconds to take away, may be negative
Returns
  • the new period minus the specified number of seconds
Throws
ArithmeticException if the result overflows an int

public Seconds minus (Seconds seconds)

Returns a new instance with the specified number of seconds taken away.

This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

Parameters
seconds the amount of seconds to take away, may be negative, null means zero
Returns
  • the new period minus the specified number of seconds
Throws
ArithmeticException if the result overflows an int

public Seconds multipliedBy (int scalar)

Returns a new instance with the seconds multiplied by the specified scalar.

This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

Parameters
scalar the amount to multiply by, may be negative
Returns
  • the new period multiplied by the specified scalar
Throws
ArithmeticException if the result overflows an int

public Seconds negated ()

Returns a new instance with the seconds value negated.

Returns
  • the new period with a negated value
Throws
ArithmeticException if the result overflows an int

public static Seconds parseSeconds (String periodStr)

Creates a new Seconds by parsing a string in the ISO8601 format 'PTnS'.

The parse will accept the full ISO syntax of PnYnMnWnDTnHnMnS however only the seconds component may be non-zero. If any other component is non-zero, an exception will be thrown.

Parameters
periodStr the period string, null returns zero
Returns
  • the period in seconds
Throws
IllegalArgumentException if the string format is invalid

public Seconds plus (int seconds)

Returns a new instance with the specified number of seconds added.

This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

Parameters
seconds the amount of seconds to add, may be negative
Returns
  • the new period plus the specified number of seconds
Throws

public static Seconds seconds (int seconds)

Obtains an instance of Seconds that may be cached. Seconds is immutable, so instances can be cached and shared. This factory method provides access to shared instances.

Parameters
seconds the number of seconds to obtain an instance for
Returns
  • the instance of Seconds

public static Seconds secondsBetween (ReadablePartial start, ReadablePartial end)

Creates a Seconds representing the number of whole seconds between the two specified partial datetimes.

The two partials must contain the same fields, for example you can specify two LocalTime objects.

IllegalArgumentException if the partials are null or invalid

public static Seconds standardSecondsIn (ReadablePeriod period)

Creates a new Seconds representing the number of complete standard length seconds in the specified period.

This factory method converts all fields from the period to hours using standardised durations for each field. Only those fields which have a precise duration in the ISO UTC chronology can be converted.

  • One week consists of 7 seconds.
  • One day consists of 24 hours.
  • One hour consists of 60 minutes.
  • One minute consists of 60 seconds.
  • One second consists of 1000 milliseconds.
Months and Years are imprecise and periods containing these values cannot be converted.

Parameters
period the period to get the number of hours from, null returns zero
Returns
  • the period in seconds
Throws
IllegalArgumentException if the period contains imprecise duration values

public Days toStandardDays ()

Converts this period in seconds to a period in days assuming a 24 hour day, 60 minute hour and 60 second minute.

This method allows you to convert between different types of period. However to achieve this it makes the assumption that all days are 24 hours long, all hours are 60 minutes long and all minutes are 60 seconds long. This is not true when daylight savings is considered and may also not be true for some unusual chronologies. However, it is included as it is a useful operation for many applications and business rules.

Returns
  • a period representing the number of days for this number of seconds

public Duration toStandardDuration ()

Converts this period in seconds to a duration in milliseconds assuming a 24 hour day, 60 minute hour and 60 second minute.

This method allows you to convert from a period to a duration. However to achieve this it makes the assumption that all seconds are 24 hours long, all hours are 60 minutes and all minutes are 60 seconds. This is not true when daylight savings time is considered, and may also not be true for some unusual chronologies. However, it is included as it is a useful operation for many applications and business rules.

Returns
  • a duration equivalent to this number of seconds

public Hours toStandardHours ()

Converts this period in seconds to a period in hours assuming a 60 minute hour and 60 second minute.

This method allows you to convert between different types of period. However to achieve this it makes the assumption that all hours are 60 minutes long and all minutes are 60 seconds long. This may not be true for some unusual chronologies. However, it is included as it is a useful operation for many applications and business rules.

Returns
  • a period representing the number of hours for this number of seconds

public Minutes toStandardMinutes ()

Converts this period in seconds to a period in minutes assuming a 60 second minute.

This method allows you to convert between different types of period. However to achieve this it makes the assumption that all minutes are 60 seconds long. This may not be true for some unusual chronologies. However, it is included as it is a useful operation for many applications and business rules.

Returns
  • a period representing the number of minutes for this number of seconds

public Weeks toStandardWeeks ()

Converts this period in seconds to a period in weeks assuming a 7 day week, 24 hour day, 60 minute hour and 60 second minute.
