Below examples illustrate the Duration.of() method:

Example 1:

// Java code to illustrate of() method

import java.time.*;
import java.time.temporal.*;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // input amount of time
        long timeAmount = 5;

        // Duration using of() method
        Duration duration
            = Duration.of(timeAmount, ChronoUnit.DAYS);

        System.out.println(duration.getSeconds());
    }
}

Output:

432000

Example 2:

// Java code to illustrate of() method

import java.time.*;
import java.time.temporal.*;

public class GFG {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        // input amount of time
        long timeAmount = 5;

        // Duration using of() method
        Duration duration
            = Duration.of(timeAmount, ChronoUnit.HOURS);

        System.out.println(duration.getSeconds());
    }
}

Output:
