public Period multipliedBy ( int scalar ) { if ( this == ZERO || scalar == 1 ) { return this ; } return create ( Math . multiplyExact ( years , scalar ) , Math . multiplyExact ( months , scalar ) , Math . multiplyExact ( days , scalar ) ) ; }
returns a new instance with each element in this period multiplied by the specified scalar . < p > this returns a period with each of the years , months and days units individually multiplied . for example , a period of " 2 years , - 3 months and 4 days " multiplied by 3 will return " 6 years , - 9 months and 12 days " . no normalization is performed .
