```
public final class Duration
extends java.lang.Object
implements TemporalAmount, java.lang.Comparable<Duration>, java.io.Serializable
```
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 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.
Specification for implementors

    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 or be ChronoUnit.DAYS which is treated as 24 hours. Other units throw an exception.

public static Duration from(TemporalAmount amount)
```
    Obtains an instance of Duration from an amount.
    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.
    
    Parameters:
    
    amount - the amount to convert, not null
    
    Returns:
    
    a Duration, not null

```
    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(Temporal, TemporalUnit). The difference in nanoseconds is calculated using by querying the 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.
    
    Parameters:
    
    startInclusive - the start instant, inclusive, not null
    
    endExclusive - the end instant, exclusive, not null

  - parse
```
public static Duration parse(java.lang.CharSequence text)
```
    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"
    Parameters:
    
    text - the text to parse, not null
    
    Returns:
    
    the parsed duration, not null
    
    Throws:

  - getSeconds
```

```
public Temporal addTo(Temporal temporal)
```
    Adds this duration to the specified temporal object.
    This returns a temporal object of the same observable type as the input with this duration added.
    In most cases, it is clearer to reverse the calling pattern by using Temporal.plus(TemporalAmount).
    // these two lines are equivalent, but the second approach is recommended dateTime = thisDuration.addTo(dateTime); dateTime = dateTime.plus(thisDuration);

```
public Temporal subtractFrom(Temporal temporal)
```
    Subtracts this duration from the specified temporal object.
    This returns a temporal object of the same observable type as the input with this duration subtracted.
    In most cases, it is clearer to reverse the calling pattern by using Temporal.minus(TemporalAmount).
    // these two lines are equivalent, but the second approach is recommended dateTime = thisDuration.subtractFrom(dateTime); dateTime = dateTime.minus(thisDuration);
    
    The calculation will subtract the seconds, then nanos. Only non-zero amounts will be added.
    This instance is immutable and unaffected by this method call.

    the number of minutes in the duration, may be negative
  - toMillis
```
public long toMillis()
```
    Converts this duration to the total length in milliseconds.
    If this duration is too large to fit in a 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.

    the total length of the duration in milliseconds
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.ArithmeticException - if numeric overflow occurs

    Parameters:
    
    otherDuration - the other duration to compare to, not null
    
    Returns:
    
    the comparator value, negative if less, positive if greater
  - equals
```
public boolean equals(java.lang.Object otherDuration)
```
    Checks if this duration is equal to the specified Duration.
    The comparison is based on the total length of the durations.
    
    Overrides:
    
    equals in class java.lang.Object
    
    Parameters:
    
    otherDuration - the other duration, null returns false
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the other duration is equal to this one
  - hashCode
```

    a suitable hash code
  - toString
```
public java.lang.String toString()
```
    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 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 Period.
    Overrides:
    
    toString in class java.lang.Object
    
    Returns:
    
    an ISO-8601 representation of this duration, not null
