public final class Seconds
extends BaseSingleFieldPeriod
```
An immutable time period representing a number of seconds.
Seconds is an immutable period that can only store seconds. It does not store years, months or hours for example. As such it is a type-safe way of representing a number of seconds in an application.
The number of seconds is set in the constructor, and may be queried using getSeconds(). Basic mathematical operations are provided - plus(), minus(), multipliedBy() and dividedBy().
Seconds is thread-safe and immutable.

    One hour consists of 60 minutes.
    One minute consists of 60 seconds.
    One second consists of 1000 milliseconds.
    Months and Years are imprecise and periods containing these values cannot be converted.
    Parameters:
    
    period - the period to get the number of hours from, null returns zero
    
    Returns:
    
    the period in seconds
