Calculate duration of days, hours, minutes, and seconds based on number of seconds

Question

I don't know what wrong with the below code, but the output is very weird.

My purpose is to get the number of (days, hours, minutes, and seconds) out of the inputted big number of seconds.

int numSeconds = 612372;
// int numSeconds = 898298;
Seconds nSeconds = Seconds.seconds(numSeconds);
Period period = new Period(nSeconds);
PeriodFormatter dhm = new PeriodFormatterBuilder()
.appendDays()
.appendSuffix(" day", " days")
.appendSeparator(", ")
.appendHours()
.appendSuffix(" hour", " hours")
.appendSeparator(", ")
.appendMinutes()
.appendSuffix(" minute", " minutes")
.appendSeparator(", ")
.appendSeconds()
.appendSuffix(" second", " seconds")
.toFormatter();

System.out.println(dhm.print(period.normalizedStandard()));

// very weird output
// 2 hours, 6 minutes, 12 seconds

It should print 7 days, ...blah..blah...

It's not the duplicate. I already normalize the period before printing it out as as string. — varmansvn, Dec 10 '12 at 11:04

I found a way out for this. 3 things to modify.

Period period = new Period(millisecond) // not seconds or micro seconds
period.toStandardDuration().getStandardDays() to get number of days
period.getHours(), period.getMinutes(), period.getSeconds() to get number of hours, minutes, and seconds

I don't know this is right or wrong way, but the result is correct.
