Class scala.concurrent.duration.Duration

Companion object Duration

sealed abstract class Duration extends Serializable with Ordered[Duration]

Utility for working with java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit durations.

This class is not meant as a general purpose representation of time, it is optimized for the needs of scala.concurrent.

Basic Usage

Examples:

import scala.concurrent.duration._

val duration = Duration(100, MILLISECONDS)
val duration = Duration(100, "millis")

duration.toNanos
duration < 1.second
duration <= Duration.Inf

Invoking inexpressible conversions (like calling toSeconds on an infinite duration) will throw an IllegalArgumentException.

Implicits are also provided for Int, Long and Double. Example usage:

import scala.concurrent.duration._

val duration = 100 millis

The DSL provided by the implicit conversions always allows construction of finite durations, even for infinite Double inputs; use Duration.Inf instead.

Extractors, parsing and arithmetic are also included:

val d = Duration("1.2 µs")
val Duration(length, unit) = 5 millis
val d2 = d * 2.5
val d3 = d2 + 1.millisecond

Handling of Time Units

Calculations performed on finite durations always retain the more precise unit of either operand, no matter whether a coarser unit would be able to exactly express the same duration. This means that Duration can be used as a lossless container for a (length, unit) pair if it is constructed using the corresponding methods and no arithmetic is performed on it; adding/subtracting durations should in that case be done with care.

Correspondence to Double Semantics

The semantics of arithmetic operations on Duration are two-fold:

  • exact addition/subtraction with nanosecond resolution for finite durations, independent of the summands' magnitude
  • isomorphic to java.lang.Double when it comes to infinite or undefined values

The conversion between Duration and Double is done using Duration.toUnit (with unit NANOSECONDS) and Duration.fromNanos(Double)

Ordering

The default ordering is consistent with the ordering of Double numbers, which means that Undefined is considered greater than all other durations, including Duration.Inf.

Abstract Value Members

abstract def *(factor: Double): Duration

Return this duration multiplied by the scalar factor. When involving non-finite factors the semantics match those of Double.

Exceptions thrown

IllegalArgumentException in case of a finite overflow: the range of a finite duration is +-(2^63-1)ns, and no conversion to infinite durations takes place.

abstract def +(other: Duration): Duration

Return the sum of that duration and this. When involving non-finite summands the semantics match those of Double.

Exceptions thrown

IllegalArgumentException in case of a finite overflow: the range of a finite duration is +-(2^63-1)ns, and no conversion to infinite durations takes place.

abstract def -(other: Duration): Duration

Return the difference of that duration and this. When involving non-finite summands the semantics match those of Double.

IllegalArgumentException in case of a finite overflow: the range of a finite duration is +-(2^63-1)ns, and no conversion to infinite durations takes place.

abstract def /(divisor: Duration): Double

Return the quotient of this and that duration as floating-point number. The semantics are determined by Double as if calculating the quotient of the nanosecond lengths of both factors.

abstract def /(divisor: Double): Duration

Return this duration divided by the scalar factor. When involving non-finite factors the semantics match those of Double.

Exceptions thrown

IllegalArgumentException in case of a finite overflow: the range of a finite duration is +-(2^63-1)ns, and no conversion to infinite durations takes place.

final def asInstanceOf[T0]: T0

Cast the receiver object to be of type T0.

Note that the success of a cast at runtime is modulo Scala's erasure semantics. Therefore the expression 1.asInstanceOf[String] will throw a ClassCastException at runtime, while the expression List(1).asInstanceOf[List[String]] will not. In the latter example, because the type argument is erased as part of compilation it is not possible to check whether the contents of the list are of the requested type.

returns

the receiver object.

Exceptions thrown

ClassCastException if the receiver object is not an instance of the erasure of type T0.

def clone(): AnyRef

The default implementation of the clone method is platform dependent.

final def eq(arg0: AnyRef): Boolean

Tests whether the argument (that) is a reference to the receiver object (this).

The eq method implements an equivalence relation on non-null instances of AnyRef, and has three additional properties:

    It is consistent: for any non-null instances x and y of type AnyRef, multiple invocations of x.eq(y) consistently returns true or consistently returns false.For any non-null instance x of type AnyRef, x.eq(null) and null.eq(x) returns false. null.eq(null) returns true.

When overriding the equals or hashCode methods, it is important to ensure that their behavior is consistent with reference equality. Therefore, if two objects are references to each other (o1 eq o2), they should be equal to each other (o1 == o2) and they should hash to the same value (o1.hashCode == o2.hashCode).

returns

true if the argument is a reference to the receiver object; false otherwise.
