 103  * <p>
 104  * For example, consider adding a period of one day and a duration of one day to
 105  * 18:00 on the evening before a daylight savings gap. The {@code Period} will add
 106  * the conceptual day and result in a {@code ZonedDateTime} at 18:00 the following day.
 107  * By contrast, the {@code Duration} will add exactly 24 hours, resulting in a
 108  * {@code ZonedDateTime} at 19:00 the following day (assuming a one hour DST gap).
 109  * <p>
 110  * The supported units of a period are {@link ChronoUnit#YEARS YEARS},
 111  * {@link ChronoUnit#MONTHS MONTHS} and {@link ChronoUnit#DAYS DAYS}.
 112  * All three fields are always present, but may be set to zero.
 113  * <p>
 114  * The ISO-8601 calendar system is the modern civil calendar system used today
 115  * in most of the world. It is equivalent to the proleptic Gregorian calendar
 116  * system, in which today's rules for leap years are applied for all time.
 117  * <p>
 118  * The period is modeled as a directed amount of time, meaning that individual parts of the
 119  * period may be negative.

 121  * This is a <a href="{@docRoot}/java.base/java/lang/doc-files/ValueBased.html">value-based</a>
 122  * class; programmers should treat instances that are
 123  * {@linkplain #equals(Object) equal} as interchangeable and should not
 124  * use instances for synchronization, or unpredictable behavior may
 125  * occur. For example, in a future release, synchronization may fail.
 126  * The {@code equals} method should be used for comparisons.
