periodUntil

expect fun Instant.periodUntil(other: Instant, timeZone: TimeZone): DateTimePeriod(source)

Returns a DateTimePeriod representing the difference between this and other instants.

The components of DateTimePeriod are calculated so that adding it to this instant results in the other instant.

All components of the DateTimePeriod returned are:

  • positive or zero if this instant is earlier than the other,

  • negative or zero if this instant is later than the other,

  • exactly zero if this instant is equal to the other.

Throws

if this or other instant is too large to fit in LocalDateTime. Or (only on the JVM) if the number of months between the two dates exceeds an Int.
