## Overview
**`withSeconds()`** is an instance method of the `Duration` class. It is used to return a copy of a `Duration` object with the number of seconds set to the passed value.  The nanosecond part of the `Duration` object is retained without any change.

The `withSeconds()` method is defined in the `Duration` class. The `Duration` class is defined in the `java.time` package. To import the `Duration` class, check the following import statement.

public Duration withSeconds(long seconds)

# 
#  Parameters 

- **`long seconds`**: The seconds to represent. This value can be positive or negative.

##
## Return value

This method returns a new `Duration` object.

## Code

import java.time.Duration;

public class Main {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Duration duration = Duration.ofSeconds(143234, 4223);

        int noOfSecondstoSet = 456;

        Duration newDuration = duration.withSeconds(noOfSecondstoSet);

        System.out.printf("Original Duration Object - %s\nCloned Duration Object with different seconds value - %s", duration, newDuration);
    }
}

## Explanation

- Line 1: We import the `Duration` class.
- Line 6: We define a `Duration` object using the `ofSeconds()` method.
- Line 8: We define the number of seconds value to set in the new `Duration` object.
- Line 10: We clone the object created in line 6 using the `withSeconds()` method by passing the new number of seconds value defined in line 8.
- Line 10: We print the original `Duration` object and the cloned `Duration` object.
