Difference between adding Duration.ofDays(1) and Period.ofDays(1) to ZonedDateTime around Daylight Savings...












2















The Daylight Savings Time ends on Nov 1 at 2 AM in US/Eastern time zone. As a result, 2 AM becomes 1 AM.



I am not able to understand the following in the code given below:




  1. Why line 2 shows time 09:00, why not 10:00 (by adding 1 day)?


  2. Why line 4 shows time 10:00, why not 09:00 (by adding 24 hours)?



    LocalDateTime ld = LocalDateTime.of(2015, Month.OCTOBER, 31, 10, 0);

    ZonedDateTime date = ZonedDateTime.of(ld, ZoneId.of("US/Eastern"));
    System.out.println(date); //line 1 - 2015-10-31T10:00-04:00[US/Eastern]

    date = date.plus(Duration.ofDays(1));
    System.out.println(date); //line 2 - 2015-11-01T09:00-05:00[US/Eastern]

    date = ZonedDateTime.of(ld, ZoneId.of("US/Eastern"));
    System.out.println(date); //line 3 - 2015-10-31T10:00-04:00[US/Eastern]

    date = date.plus(Period.ofDays(1));
    System.out.println(date); //line 4 - 2015-11-01T10:00-05:00[US/Eastern]



Could somebody please help me with it?

Duration: Despite the ofDays method Duration hasn’t got a notion of days. Duration.ofDays(1) is immediately converted into 24 hours, so this is what you are adding. Since you add 24 hours to 10:00 the day before DST ends, you get 09:00 the next day as you have observed,



Period: Contrary to Duration a Period knows days, weeks, months and years. So you are adding 1 calendar day, hitting the same wall clock time on the next day (10:00) even though this means 25 hours later (not 24).






share|improve this answer


























  • If duration adds 24 hours, should it not give 09:00 next day (considering DST)? Similarly, should adding a day (for period of 1 day) give us 10:00 next day? What I am getting in the answer is other way round. Duration.ofDays(1) is giving 10:00, while Period.ofDays(1) is giving 09:00.

Durations and periods differ in their treatment of daylight savings

contrast, a Period will add a conceptual day, trying to maintain the

So, Period will maintain the same hour, whereas Duration will add 24 hours.

See the full Java documentation on Duration and Period, always one quick Google search away.



From Duration:




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.




From Period:




Durations and periods differ in their treatment of daylight savings
time when added to ZonedDateTime. A Duration will add an exact number
of seconds, thus a duration of one day is always exactly 24 hours. By
contrast, a Period will add a conceptual day, trying to maintain the
local time




So, Period will maintain the same hour, whereas Duration will add 24 hours.



24 hours after 10:00 on October 31 is 9:00 on November 1st.
