The javadoc of ZoneRules.previousTransition() is wrong

XMLWordPrintable

    • b152

      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      The documentation rightly says:

      > Gets the previous transition before the specified instant.

      But then it incorrectly says:

      > This returns details of the previous transition **after** the specified instant

      and

      > Returns: the previous transition **after** the specified instant



      EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
      EXPECTED -
      I expect it to say

      > This returns details of the previous transition before the specified instant

      and

      > Returns: the previous transition before the specified instant
      ACTUAL -
      > This returns details of the previous transition **after** the specified instant

      and

      > Returns: the previous transition **after** the specified instant
