Class Tenor

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Comparable<Tenor>, TemporalAmount

    public final class Tenor
    extends Object
    implements Comparable<Tenor>, TemporalAmount, Serializable
    A tenor indicating how long it will take for a financial instrument to reach maturity.

    A tenor is allowed to be any non-negative non-zero period of days, weeks, month or years. This class provides constants for common tenors which are best used by static import.

    Each tenor is based on a Period. The months and years of the period are not normalized, thus it is possible to have a tenor of 12 months and a different one of 1 year. When used, standard date addition rules apply, thus there is no difference between them. Call normalized() to apply normalization.

    Usage

    Tenor implements TemporalAmount allowing it to be directly added to a date:
      LocalDate later = baseDate.plus(tenor);

        public static Tenor of​(Period period)
        Obtains an instance from a Period.

        The period normally consists of either days and weeks, or months and years. It must also be positive and non-zero.

        If the number of days is an exact multiple of 7 it will be converted to weeks. Months are not normalized into years.

        Parameters:
        period - the period to convert to a tenor
        Returns:
        the tenor
        Throws:
        IllegalArgumentException - if the period is negative or zero
      • ofDays

        public static Tenor ofDays​(int days)
        Obtains an instance backed by a period of days.

      • getPeriod

        public Period getPeriod()
        Gets the underlying period of the tenor.
        Returns:
        the period
      • normalized

        public Tenor normalized()
        Normalizes the months and years of this tenor.

        This method returns a normalized tenor of an equivalent length. If the period is exactly 1 year then the result will be expressed as 12 months. Otherwise, the result will be expressed using Period.normalized().

        Returns:
        the normalized tenor
      • isWeekBased

        public boolean isWeekBased()
        Checks if the tenor is week-based.

        Returns:
        true if this is week-based
      • isMonthBased

        public boolean isMonthBased()
        Checks if the tenor is month-based.

        A month-based tenor consists of an integral number of months. Any year-based tenor is also counted as month-based. There must be no day or week element.

        Returns:
        true if this is month-based
      • get

        public long get​(TemporalUnit unit)
        Gets the value of the specified unit.

        This will return a value for the years, months and days units. Note that weeks are not included. All other units throw an exception.

        This method implements TemporalAmount. It is not intended to be called directly.

        Specified by:
        get in interface TemporalAmount
        Parameters:
        unit - the unit to query
        Returns:
        the value of the unit
        Throws:
        UnsupportedTemporalTypeException - if the unit is not supported
      • getUnits

        public List<TemporalUnit> getUnits()
        Gets the units supported by a tenor.

        This returns a list containing years, months and days. Note that weeks are not included.

        This method implements TemporalAmount. It is not intended to be called directly.

        Specified by:
        getUnits in interface TemporalAmount
        Returns:
        a list containing the years, months and days units
      • compareTo

        public int compareTo​(Tenor other)
        Compares this tenor to another tenor.

        Comparing tenors is a hard problem in general, but for commonly used tenors the outcome is as expected. If the two tenors are both based on days, then comparison is easy. If the two tenors are both based on months/years, then comparison is easy. Otherwise, months are converted to days to form an estimated length in days which is compared. The conversion from months to days divides by 12 and then multiplies by 365.2425. As a result, this method is compatible with equals(Object) for tenors less than 400 years.

        The resulting order places:

        • a 1 month tenor between 30 and 31 days
        • a 2 month tenor between 60 and 61 days
        • a 3 month tenor between 91 and 92 days
        • a 6 month tenor between 182 and 183 days
        • a 1 year tenor between 365 and 366 days
        • a 4 year tenor between 1460 and 1461 days
        Specified by:
        compareTo in interface Comparable<Tenor>
        Parameters:
        other - the other tenor
        Returns:
        negative if this is less than the other, zero if equal and positive if greater
      • equals

        public boolean equals​(Object obj)
        Checks if this tenor equals another tenor.

        The comparison checks the tenor period.

        Overrides:
        equals in class Object
        Parameters:
        obj - the other tenor, null returns false
        Returns:
        true if equal
      • hashCode

        the hash code
      • toString

        public String toString()
        Returns a formatted string representing the tenor.

        toString in class Object
        Returns:
        the formatted tenor
