Gets the number of nanoseconds within the second in this duration. Duration represents a directed distance between two points on the time-line. A negative duration is expressed by the negative sign of the seconds part. A duration of -1 nanosecond is stored as -1 seconds plus 999,999,999 nanoseconds. The length of the duration is stored using two fields-seconds and nanoseconds. The nanoseconds part is a value from 0 to 999,999,999 that is an adjustment to the length in seconds. The total duration is defined by calling this method and getSeconds() .
