Class Day

java.lang.Object
org.lukashian.Day
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable, Comparable<Day>
public final class Day extends Object implements Comparable<Day>, Serializable
Represents a day in the Lukashian Calendar Mechanism. For the meaning of a day in the standard implementation of the Lukashian Calendar, see StandardEarthMillisecondStoreDataProvider.

The first day of every year is day 1. A day is part of the year that it starts in, even if it finishes in the next year.

By definition, the exact point at which a day starts belongs to that day, not to the previous day, which ends at that point. So, a day runs from its start (inclusive) to its end (exclusive).

In the Lukashian Calendar, the length of a day in milliseconds is not constant. Instead, it accurately represents the actual length of a particular day in astronomical terms. Due to astronomical and planetary developments, this duration is not constant. Since the same is true for years (a year accurately represents the actual length of a particular year in astronomical terms), a day is not necessarily contained in a single year. In fact, it is very unlikely that the turn of a year coincides with the turn of a day. Therefore, a day is defined to be part of the year in which it started.

The very first day of the calendar starts at the same point as the very first year. This means that the turn of every single day happens at the position of the planet at the start of the calendar.

A Day keeps track of the total number of milliseconds that have taken place from the start of the Lukashian Calendar (Lukashian epoch) until the final point of this day. This value is called "epoch milliseconds". This information allows for determining which year a day is in and how to do various calculations. A Day also keeps track of the epoch milliseconds of the previous Day, for calculation purposes. This means that a Day knows how many milliseconds it lasts, by subtracting the two.

Internally, a Day keeps track of its epoch value ("epoch day"). This value represents which day this is since the start of the Lukashian Calendar, regardless of the year. This value also starts at 1, like years and days within years, 1 being the very first day since the start of the calendar.

Day is an immutable object. New instances are always created when calling one of the mutation methods.
