Code
In the code below, Duration class objects of different time units are converted to nanoseconds.
import java.time.Duration;public class Main{public static void main(String[] args) {Duration durationInMilliSeconds = Duration.ofMillis(10000);System.out.println("100 milliseconds in Nanoseconds - " + durationInMilliSeconds.toNanos());Duration durationInMinutes = Duration.ofMinutes(10);System.out.println("10 minutes in Nanoseconds - " + durationInMinutes.toNanos());}}
