# Period

The `Period` class is designed to represent a time-based duration, typically measured in seconds and nanoseconds. It offers a range of static methods for creating durations based on days, hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds, and nanoseconds. Additionally, it provides conversion methods to express the duration in various units, as well as the ability to calculate the duration between two temporal objects. This class is ideal for measuring time spans, tracking elapsed time, and performing time-based calculations in applications.

### Static Methods

#### `ofDays(days: Integer)`

* Obtains a `Period` representing a number of standard 24-hour days.
* Example Usage:

  ```java
  var daysPeriod = Period.ofDays(5);
  ```

#### `ofMonths(months: Integer)`

* Obtains a `Period`representing a number of standard months.
* Example Usage:

  ```java
  var monthsPeriod = Period.ofMonths(12);
  ```

#### `ofYears(years: Integer)`

* Obtains a `Period`representing a number of standard years.
* Example Usage:

  ```java
  var yearsPeriod = Period.ofYears(30);
  ```

#### `ofWeeks(weeks: Long)`

* Obtains a `Period`representing a number of weeks.
* Example Usage:

  ```java
  var weeksPeriod = Period.ofWeeks(4);
  ```

#### `parse(text: String)`

* Obtains a `Period`from a text string such as `P2Y3M4D`.
* Parses a textual representation of a period.
* Example Usage:

  ```java
  var parsedPeriod = Period.parse("P2Y3M4D");
  ```

#### `between(startInclusive: LocalDate, endExclusive: LocalDate)`

* Obtains a `Period`representing the duration between two temporal objects.
* Example Usage:

  ```java
  var end = LocalDate.now(); // current date-time
  var start = end.minusDays(1); // current date-time minus 1 day
  var duration = Period.between(start, end); // period is 1 day
  ```
