I have a number of seconds. Let's say 270921. How can I display that number saying it is xx days, yy hours, zz minutes, ww seconds?
The following code is what I use. int seconds = (totalSeconds % 60); int minutes = (totalSeconds % 3600) / 60; int hours = (totalSeconds % 86400) / 3600; int days = (totalSeconds % (86400 * 30)) / 86400; First line - We get the remainder of seconds when dividing by number of seconds in a minutes.
There are 3,600 seconds in 1 hour. The easiest way to convert seconds to hours is to divide the number of seconds by 3,600.
It can be done pretty concisely using divmod
:
t = 270921 mm, ss = t.divmod(60) #=> [4515, 21] hh, mm = mm.divmod(60) #=> [75, 15] dd, hh = hh.divmod(24) #=> [3, 3] puts "%d days, %d hours, %d minutes and %d seconds" % [dd, hh, mm, ss] #=> 3 days, 3 hours, 15 minutes and 21 seconds
You could probably DRY it further by getting creative with collect
, or maybe inject
, but when the core logic is three lines it may be overkill.
I was hoping there would be an easier way than using divmod, but this is the most DRY and reusable way I found to do it:
def seconds_to_units(seconds) '%d days, %d hours, %d minutes, %d seconds' % # the .reverse lets us put the larger units first for readability [24,60,60].reverse.inject([seconds]) {|result, unitsize| result[0,0] = result.shift.divmod(unitsize) result } end
The method is easily adjusted by changing the format string and the first inline array (ie the [24,60,60]).
Enhanced version
class TieredUnitFormatter # if you set this, '%d' must appear as many times as there are units attr_accessor :format_string def initialize(unit_names=%w(days hours minutes seconds), conversion_factors=[24, 60, 60]) @unit_names = unit_names @factors = conversion_factors @format_string = unit_names.map {|name| "%d #{name}" }.join(', ') # the .reverse helps us iterate more effectively @reversed_factors = @factors.reverse end # e.g. seconds def format(smallest_unit_amount) parts = split(smallest_unit_amount) @format_string % parts end def split(smallest_unit_amount) # go from smallest to largest unit @reversed_factors.inject([smallest_unit_amount]) {|result, unitsize| # Remove the most significant item (left side), convert it, then # add the 2-element array to the left side of the result. result[0,0] = result.shift.divmod(unitsize) result } end end
Examples:
fmt = TieredUnitFormatter.new fmt.format(270921) # => "3 days, 3 hours, 15 minutes, 21 seconds" fmt = TieredUnitFormatter.new(%w(minutes seconds), [60]) fmt.format(5454) # => "90 minutes, 54 seconds" fmt.format_string = '%d:%d' fmt.format(5454) # => "90:54"
Note that format_string
won't let you change the order of the parts (it's always the most significant value to least). For finer grained control, you can use split
and manipulate the values yourself.
