All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Comparable<ReadablePartial>, ReadablePartial

Direct Known Subclasses:

public abstract class AbstractPartial
extends java.lang.Object

```
AbstractPartial provides a standard base implementation of most methods in the ReadablePartial interface.
Calculations on are performed using a Chronology. This chronology is set to be in the UTC time zone for all calculations.
The methods on this class use ReadablePartial.size(), getField(int, Chronology) and ReadablePartial.getValue(int) to calculate their results. Subclasses may have a better implementation.
AbstractPartial allows subclasses may be mutable and not thread-safe.

public DateTime toDateTime(ReadableInstant baseInstant)
```
    Resolves this partial against another complete instant to create a new full instant. The combination is performed using the chronology of the specified instant.
    For example, if this partial represents a time, then the result of this method will be the datetime from the specified base instant plus the time from this partial.
    
    Specified by:

  - compareTo
```
public int compareTo(ReadablePartial other)
```
    Compares this partial with another returning an integer indicating the order.
    The fields are compared in order, from largest to smallest. The first field that is non-equal is used to determine the result.
    The specified object must be a partial instance whose field types match those of this partial.
    NOTE: Prior to v2.0, the Comparable interface was only implemented in this class and not in the ReadablePartial interface.
    
    Specified by:
    
    compareTo in interface java.lang.Comparable<ReadablePartial>
    
    Parameters:
    
    other - an object to check against

    Since:
    
    1.1
  - isAfter
```
public boolean isAfter(ReadablePartial partial)
```
    Is this partial later than the specified partial.
    The fields are compared in order, from largest to smallest. The first field that is non-equal is used to determine the result.
    You may not pass null into this method. This is because you need a time zone to accurately determine the current date.
    
    Parameters:
    
    partial - a partial to check against, must not be null
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this date is strictly after the date passed in
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the specified partial is null
    
    java.lang.ClassCastException - if the partial has field types that don't match
    
    Since:
    
    1.1
  - isBefore
```
public boolean isBefore(ReadablePartial partial)
```
    Is this partial earlier than the specified partial.
    The fields are compared in order, from largest to smallest. The first field that is non-equal is used to determine the result.
    You may not pass null into this method. This is because you need a time zone to accurately determine the current date.
    
    Parameters:
    
    partial - a partial to check against, must not be null
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this date is strictly before the date passed in
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the specified partial is null
    
    java.lang.ClassCastException - if the partial has field types that don't match
    
    Since:
    
    1.1
  - isEqual
```
public boolean isEqual(ReadablePartial partial)
```
    Is this partial the same as the specified partial.
    The fields are compared in order, from largest to smallest. If all fields are equal, the result is true.
    You may not pass null into this method. This is because you need a time zone to accurately determine the current date.
    
    Parameters:
    
    partial - a partial to check against, must not be null
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this date is the same as the date passed in
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the specified partial is null
    
    java.lang.ClassCastException - if the partial has field types that don't match
    
    Since:
    
    1.1
  - toString
```
public java.lang.String toString(DateTimeFormatter formatter)
```
    Uses the specified formatter to convert this partial to a String.
    
    Parameters:
    
    formatter - the formatter to use, null means use toString().
