An immutable time period representing a number of minutes.

Minutes is an immutable period that can only store minutes. It does not store years, months or hours for example. As such it is a type-safe way of representing a number of minutes in an application.

The number of minutes is set in the constructor, and may be queried using getMinutes(). Basic mathematical operations are provided - plus(), minus(), multipliedBy() and dividedBy().

Minutes is thread-safe and immutable.

Converts this period in minutes to a period in weeks assuming a 7 days week, 24 hour day and 60 minute hour.

This method allows you to convert between different types of period. However to achieve this it makes the assumption that all weeks are 7 days long, all days are 24 hours long and all hours are 60 minutes long. This is not true when daylight savings is considered and may also not be true for some unusual chronologies. However, it is included as it is a useful operation for many applications and business rules.

Returns:a period representing the number of whole weeks for this number of minutes
