java - Obtaining the number of standard seconds in a minute with JodaTime -

i need obtain integer, long or double represents number of standard seconds contained in given number of standard minutes.

1 minute => 60 seconds 2 minutes => 120 seconds ..

what preferred way of obtaining number of standard seconds within minute using jodatime?

so far, i've been using this:

minutes.minutes(2).tostandardseconds().getseconds()

i find ".getseconds()" redundant.

in c#, have used

timespan.fromminutes(2).totalseconds

is there similar in jodatime?

you can use datetimeconstants. specifically, can use datetimeconstants.seconds_per_minute

import org.joda.time.datetimeconstants; system.out.println(datetimeconstants.seconds_per_minute);
