Class Overview

An immutable time period representing a number of weeks.

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

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

Weeks is thread-safe and immutable.

Public Methods

public Weeks dividedBy (int divisor)

Returns a new instance with the weeks 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 weeks.

Returns
  • the period type

public PeriodType getPeriodType ()

Gets the period type, which is weeks.

Returns
  • the period type

public int getWeeks ()

Gets the number of weeks that this period represents.

Returns
  • the number of weeks in the period

public boolean isGreaterThan (Weeks other)

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

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

public boolean isLessThan (Weeks other)

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

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

public Weeks minus (int weeks)

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

This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

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

public Weeks minus (Weeks weeks)

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

This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

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

public Weeks multipliedBy (int scalar)

Returns a new instance with the weeks 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 Weeks negated ()

Returns a new instance with the weeks value negated.

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

public static Weeks parseWeeks (String periodStr)

Creates a new Weeks by parsing a string in the ISO8601 format 'PnW'.

The parse will accept the full ISO syntax of PnYnMnWnDTnHnMnS however only the weeks 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 weeks
Throws
IllegalArgumentException if the string format is invalid

public Weeks plus (Weeks weeks)

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

This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

Parameters
weeks the amount of weeks to add, may be negative, null means zero
Returns
  • the new period plus the specified number of weeks
Throws
ArithmeticException if the result overflows an int

public Weeks plus (int weeks)

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

This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

Parameters
weeks the amount of weeks to add, may be negative
Returns
  • the new period plus the specified number of weeks
Throws
ArithmeticException if the result overflows an int

public static Weeks standardWeeksIn (ReadablePeriod period)

Creates a new Weeks representing the number of complete standard length weeks 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 days.
  • One day consists of 24 hours.
  • One hour consists of 60 minutes.
  • One minute consists of 60 weeks.
  • 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 weeks
Throws
IllegalArgumentException if the period contains imprecise duration values

public Days toStandardDays ()

Converts this period in weeks to a period in days assuming a 7 day week.

This method allows you to convert between different types of period. However to achieve this it makes the assumption that all weeks are 7 days 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 days for this number of weeks
Throws
ArithmeticException if the number of days is too large to be represented

public Duration toStandardDuration ()

Converts this period in weeks to a duration in milliweeks assuming a 7 day week, 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 weeks are 7 days long, 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 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 weeks

public Hours toStandardHours ()

Converts this period in weeks to a period in hours assuming a 7 day week and 24 hour day.

This method allows you to convert between different types of period. However to achieve this it makes the assumption that all weeks are 7 days long and all days are 24 hours 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 hours for this number of weeks
Throws
ArithmeticException if the number of hours is too large to be represented

public Minutes toStandardMinutes ()

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

This method allows you to convert between different types of period. However to achieve this it makes the assumption that all weeks are 7 days long, all days are 24 hours long and all hours are 60 minutes 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.
