org.joda.time.Years

An immutable time period representing a number of years.

Years is an immutable period that can only store years. It does not store years, days or hours for example. As such it is a type-safe way of representing a number of years in an application.

The number of years is set in the constructor, and may be queried using getYears(). Basic mathematical operations are provided - plus(), minus(), multipliedBy() and dividedBy().

Years is thread-safe and immutable. @author Stephen Colebourne @since 1.4
