We can adjust into other data types. But as mentioned, know that there are only a few fields supported. Nothing larger than seconds. We have accesses for get, getLong values, and getXxx. But again, we're dealing with things where we can only get seconds and smaller things. We can mutate and we can truncate into. We can ask what is the difference from a given instant until another instant and we can ask if two instance are equal. Let's take a look at some more code. We'll start with two periods defined.
