Duration getUnits() method in Java

The list of different units that are supported by a duration can be obtained using the method getUnits() in the Duration class in Java. This method requires no parameters and it returns the list of different units that are supported by a duration.

A program that demonstrates this is given as follows −

Example

 Live Demo

import java.time.Duration;
public class Demo {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      Duration d = Duration.ofSeconds(5);
      System.out.println("The duration is: " + d);
      System.out.println("The units are: " + d.getUnits());
   }
}

Output

The duration is: PT5S
The units are: [Seconds, Nanos]

Now let us understand the above program.

The duration is printed and then the list of different units that are supported by the duration are printed using the getUnits() method. A code snippet that demonstrates this is as follows −

Duration d = Duration.ofSeconds(5);
System.out.println("The duration is: " + d);
System.out.println("The units are: " + d.getUnits());
