```
An immutable time period specifying a set of duration field values.
A time period is divided into a number of fields, such as hours and seconds. Which fields are supported is defined by the PeriodType class. The default is the standard period type, which supports years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds and millis.
When this time period is added to an instant, the effect is of adding each field in turn. As a result, this takes into account daylight savings time. Adding a time period of 1 day to the day before daylight savings starts will only add 23 hours rather than 24 to ensure that the time remains the same. If this is not the behaviour you want, then see Duration.
The definition of a period also affects the equals method. A period of 1 day is not equal to a period of 24 hours, nor 1 hour equal to 60 minutes. This is because periods represent an abstracted definition of a time period (eg. a day may not actually be 24 hours, it might be 23 or 25 at daylight savings boundary). To compare the actual duration of two periods, convert both to durations using toDuration, an operation that emphasises that the result may differ according to the date you choose.
Period is thread-safe and immutable, provided that the PeriodType is as well. All standard PeriodType classes supplied are thread-safe and immutable.

public static final Period ZERO
```
    A period of zero length and standard period type.
    
    Since:
    
    1.4
- Constructor Detail
  - Period
```
public Period()
```
    Creates a new empty period with the standard set of fields.
    One way to initialise a period is as follows:
```
 Period = new Period().withYears(6).withMonths(3).withSeconds(23);
 
```
    Bear in mind that this creates four period instances in total, three of which are immediately discarded. The alternative is more efficient, but less readable:
```
 Period = new Period(6, 3, 0, 0, 0, 0, 23, 0);
 
```
    The following is also slightly less wasteful:
```
 Period = Period.years(6).withMonths(3).withSeconds(23);
 
```

    Create a period from a set of field values.
    There is usually little need to use this constructor. The period type is used primarily to define how to split an interval into a period. As this constructor already is split, the period type does no real work.
    
    Parameters:
    
    years - amount of years in this period, which must be zero if unsupported
    
    months - amount of months in this period, which must be zero if unsupported
    
    weeks - amount of weeks in this period, which must be zero if unsupported
    
    days - amount of days in this period, which must be zero if unsupported
    
    hours - amount of hours in this period, which must be zero if unsupported
    
    minutes - amount of minutes in this period, which must be zero if unsupported
    
    seconds - amount of seconds in this period, which must be zero if unsupported
    
    millis - amount of milliseconds in this period, which must be zero if unsupported
    
    type - which set of fields this period supports, null means AllType
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if an unsupported field's value is non-zero
  - Period
```
public Period(long duration)
```
    Creates a period from the given millisecond duration using the standard set of fields.
    Only precise fields in the period type will be used. For the standard period type this is the time fields only. Thus the year, month, week and day fields will not be populated.
    If the duration is small, less than one day, then this method will perform as you might expect and split the fields evenly.
    If the duration is larger than one day then all the remaining duration will be stored in the largest available precise field, hours in this case.
    For example, a duration equal to (365 + 60 + 5) days will be converted to ((365 + 60 + 5) * 24) hours by this constructor.
    For more control over the conversion process, you have two options:
    - convert the duration to an Interval, and from there obtain the period
    - specify a period type that contains precise definitions of the day and larger fields, such as UTC
    Parameters:
    
    duration - the duration, in milliseconds
  - Period
```
public Period(long duration,
              PeriodType type)
```
    Creates a period from the given millisecond duration.
    Only precise fields in the period type will be used. Imprecise fields will not be populated.
    If the duration is small then this method will perform as you might expect and split the fields evenly.
    If the duration is large then all the remaining duration will be stored in the largest available precise field. For details as to which fields are precise, review the period type javadoc.
    
    Parameters:
    
    duration - the duration, in milliseconds
    
    type - which set of fields this period supports, null means standard
  - Period
```

    If the duration is small then this method will perform as you might expect and split the fields evenly.
    If the duration is large then all the remaining duration will be stored in the largest available precise field. For details as to which fields are precise, review the period type javadoc.
    
    Parameters:
    
    duration - the duration, in milliseconds

public Period(ReadableInstant startInstant,
              ReadableInstant endInstant)
```
    Creates a period between the given instants using the standard set of fields.
    Most calculations performed by this method have obvious results. The special case is where the calculation is from a "long" month to a "short" month. Here, the result favours increasing the months field rather than the days. For example, 2013-01-31 to 2013-02-28 is treated as one whole month. By contrast, 2013-01-31 to 2013-03-30 is treated as one month and 30 days (exposed as 4 weeks and 2 days). The results are explained by considering that the start date plus the calculated period result in the end date.
    Another special case is around daylight savings. Consider the case where there is a DST gap from 01:00 to 02:00. The period from 00:30 to 02:30 will return one hour, not two, due to the missing hour. However, once the period exceeds one day, a different effect comes into play. Consider the period from 00:30 just before the DST gap to 02:30 one day later. Since this exceeds a day, the algorithm first adds one day following normal period rules, to get 00:30 one day later, and then adds 2 hours to reach 02:30. In this way, the DST gap effectively "disappears". In other words, the addition of days takes precedence over the addition of hours.
    
    Parameters:
    
    startInstant - interval start, null means now
    
    endInstant - interval end, null means now

public Period(ReadablePartial start,
              ReadablePartial end)
```
    Creates a period from two partially specified times.
    The two partials must contain the same fields, thus you can specify two LocalDate objects, or two LocalTime objects, but not one of each. As these are Partial objects, time zones have no effect on the result.
    The two partials must also both be contiguous - see DateTimeUtils.isContiguous(ReadablePartial) for a definition. Both LocalDate and LocalTime are contiguous.

```
public static Period fieldDifference(ReadablePartial start,
                                     ReadablePartial end)
```
    Creates a period from two partially specified times, calculating by field difference.
    The two partials must contain the same fields, thus you can specify two LocalDate objects, or two LocalTime objects, but not one of each. Also, the partial may not contain overlapping fields, such as dayOfWeek and dayOfMonth.
    Calculation by field difference works by extracting the difference one field at a time and not wrapping into other fields. Thus 2005-06-09/2007-04-12 will yield P2Y-2M3D.
    For example, you have an event that always runs from the 27th of each month to the 2nd of the next month. If you calculate this period using a standard constructor, then you will get between P3D and P6D depending on the month. If you use this method, then you will get P1M-25D. This field-difference based period can be successfully applied to each month of the year to obtain the correct end date for a given start date.
    
    Parameters:
    
    start - the start of the period, must not be null
    
    end - the end of the period, must not be null
    
    Returns:
    
    the period, not null
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if the partials are null or invalid

  - toStandardWeeks
```
public Weeks toStandardWeeks()
```
    Converts this period to a period in weeks assuming a 7 day week, 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 weeks are 7 days, all days are 24 hours, 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.
    If the period contains years or months, an exception will be thrown.
    
    Returns:
    
    a period representing the number of standard weeks in this period
    
    Throws:
    
    UnsupportedOperationException - if the period contains years or months
    
    ArithmeticException - if the number of weeks is too large to be represented

    Converts this period to a duration 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, all days are 24 hours, all hours are 60 minutes and all minutes are 60 seconds.

  - normalizedStandard
```
public Period normalizedStandard()
```
    Normalizes this period using standard rules, assuming a 12 month year, 7 day week, 24 hour day, 60 minute hour and 60 second minute.
    This method allows you to normalize a period. However to achieve this it makes the assumption that all years are 12 months, all weeks are 7 days, all days are 24 hours, 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 chronologies. However, it is included as it is a useful operation for many applications and business rules.
    If the period contains years or months, then the months will be normalized to be between 0 and 11. The days field and below will be normalized as necessary, however this will not overflow into the months field. Thus a period of 1 year 15 months will normalize to 2 years 3 months. But a period of 1 month 40 days will remain as 1 month 40 days.
    The result will always have a PeriodType of standard, thus days will be grouped into weeks.
    
    Returns:
    
    a normalized period equivalent to this period
    
    Throws:
    
    ArithmeticException - if any field is too large to be represented
    
    Since:
    
    1.5
  - normalizedStandard
```
public Period normalizedStandard(PeriodType type)
```
    Normalizes this period using standard rules, assuming a 12 month year, 7 day week, 24 hour day, 60 minute hour and 60 second minute, providing control over how the result is split into fields.
    This method allows you to normalize a period. However to achieve this it makes the assumption that all years are 12 months, all weeks are 7 days, all days are 24 hours, 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 chronologies. However, it is included as it is a useful operation for many applications and business rules.
    If the period contains years or months, then the months will be normalized to be between 0 and 11. The days field and below will be normalized as necessary, however this will not overflow into the months field. Thus a period of 1 year 15 months will normalize to 2 years 3 months. But a period of 1 month 40 days will remain as 1 month 40 days.
    The PeriodType parameter controls how the result is created. It allows you to omit certain fields from the result if desired. For example, you may not want the result to include weeks, in which case you pass in PeriodType.yearMonthDayTime().
    
    Parameters:
    
    type - the period type of the new period, null means standard type
    
    Returns:
    
    a normalized period equivalent to this period
    
    Throws:
    
    ArithmeticException - if any field is too large to be represented
    
    UnsupportedOperationException - if this period contains non-zero years or months but the specified period type does not support them
