/**
 * A date-based amount of time in the ISO-8601 calendar system,
 * such as '2 years, 3 months and 4 days'.
 * <p>
 * This class models a quantity or amount of time in terms of years, months and days.
 * See {@link Duration} for the time-based equivalent to this class.
 * <p>
 * Durations and periods differ in their treatment of daylight savings time
 * when added to {@link ZonedDateTime}. A {@code Duration} will add an exact
 * number of seconds, thus a duration of one day is always exactly 24 hours.
 * By contrast, a {@code Period} will add a conceptual day, trying to maintain
 * the local time.
 * <p>
 * For example, consider adding a period of one day and a duration of one day to
 * 18:00 on the evening before a daylight savings gap. The {@code Period} will add
 * the conceptual day and result in a {@code ZonedDateTime} at 18:00 the following day.
 * By contrast, the {@code Duration} will add exactly 24 hours, resulting in a
 * {@code ZonedDateTime} at 19:00 the following day (assuming a one hour DST gap).
 * <p>
 * The supported units of a period are {@link ChronoUnit#YEARS YEARS},
 * {@link ChronoUnit#MONTHS MONTHS} and {@link ChronoUnit#DAYS DAYS}.
 * All three fields are always present, but may be set to zero.
 * <p>
 * The ISO-8601 calendar system is the modern civil calendar system used today
 * in most of the world. It is equivalent to the proleptic Gregorian calendar
 * system, in which today's rules for leap years are applied for all time.
 * <p>
 * The period is modeled as a directed amount of time, meaning that individual parts of the
 * period may be negative.
 * <p>
 * This is a <a href="{@docRoot}/java.base/java/lang/doc-files/ValueBased.html">value-based</a>
 * class; programmers should treat instances that are
 * {@linkplain #equals(Object) equal} as interchangeable and should not
 * use instances for synchronization, or unpredictable behavior may
 * occur. For example, in a future release, synchronization may fail.
 * The {@code equals} method should be used for comparisons.
 *
 * @implSpec
 * This class is immutable and thread-safe.

 * @since 1.8
