A Period is the amount of time between two LocalDate. Same concept as Duration. Here's the difference between the two: A Duration measures an amount of time using time-based values (seconds, nanoseconds). A Period uses date-based values (years, months, days). However, using Period you can't get the hours, mins as you mentioned in the problem statement above.

Yes, I got it.

LocalDate firstDate = LocalDate.of(2010, 5, 17); // 2010-05-17
LocalDate secondDate = LocalDate.of(2015, 3, 7); // 2015-03-07
Period period = Period.between(firstDate, secondDate);
System.out.println(period); //P4Y9M18D
