public final class Days
extends BaseSingleFieldPeriod
Days
is an immutable period that can only store days.
It does not store years, months or hours for example. As such it is a
type-safe way of representing a number of days in an application.
The number of days is set in the constructor, and may be queried using
getDays()
. Basic mathematical operations are provided -
plus()
, minus()
, multipliedBy()
and
dividedBy()
.
Days
is thread-safe and immutable.

scalar
- the amount to multiply by, may be negative
- Returns:
- the new period multiplied by the specified scalar
public Days negated()
Returns a new instance with the days value negated.
- Returns:
- the new period with a negated value
public static Days parseDays(String periodStr)
Creates a newDays
by parsing a string in the ISO8601 format 'PnD'. The parse will accept the full ISO syntax of PnYnMnWnDTnHnMnS however only the days 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 days
public Days plus(int days)
Returns a new instance with the specified number of days added. This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.
- Parameters:
days
- the amount of days to add, may be negative

public Duration toStandardDuration()
Converts this period in days 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 days 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 days
public Hours toStandardHours()
Converts this period in days to a period in hours assuming a 24 hour day. 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. 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 days
public Minutes toStandardMinutes()
