Formatting Guide for Time
raw format| Raw Format) | Formatting | Output | Description |
|---|
| 1 | 25 | 00:00:00 | 0:00:25 |
Seconds: | Numbers less than 60 are displayed in the |
seconds position seconds section.
|
| 2 | 238 | 00:00:00 | 0:03:58 | For numbers greater than or equal to 60 |
and 3600：Minutes: Divide by 60 to get the integer part.3600: - To show minutes, divide the input by 60 and use the integer part.
Example: 238 / 60 = 3.966666
Take the whole number 3 to have 0:03:00. - To show seconds, take the quotient of the example above and multiply it by 60 and round it off to the whole number.
Example: .966666 x 60 = 57.9999, rounded off to 58
Hence, the output is 0:03:58 |
Seconds: Multiply the decimal part of the result from dividing by 60 by 60 to get the seconds. |
| 3 | 63846 | 00:00:00 | 17:44:06 | For numbers greater than or equal to |
3600：- Hours: Divide by 3600 to get the integer part.
- Minutes: Multiply the decimal part of the result from dividing by 3600 by 60 to get the integer part.
- Seconds: Multiply the decimal part of the result from dividing by 3600 by 60 to get the decimal part, then multiply the result by 60 to get the seconds.
3600: - To show hours, divide the input by 3600 and use the integer part.
Example: 63846 / 3600 = 17.735
Take the whole number 17 to have 17:00:00.
- To show minutes, take the decimal numbers in the quotient and multiply them by 60.
Example: .735 x 60 = 44.1
Apply the whole number to have 17:44:00 - To show seconds. take the decimal numbers in the product and multiply them by 60. Example: .1 x 60 = 6
Hence, the output is 17:44:06. |
