How to Convert Seconds into (Hour:Minutes:Seconds:Milliseconds) Time

How can I convert seconds into (Hour:Minutes:Seconds:Milliseconds) time?

For .Net <= 4.0 Use the TimeSpan class.

TimeSpan t = TimeSpan.FromSeconds( secs );

string answer = string.Format("{0:D2}h:{1:D2}m:{2:D2}s:{3:D3}ms", 
                t.Hours, 
                t.Minutes, 
                t.Seconds, 
                t.Milliseconds);

(As noted by Inder Kumar Rathore) For .NET > 4.0 you can use

TimeSpan time = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(seconds);

//here backslash is must to tell that colon is
//not the part of format, it just a character that we want in output
string str = time .ToString(@"hh\:mm\:ss\:fff");

(From Nick Molyneux) Ensure that seconds is less than TimeSpan.MaxValue.TotalSeconds to avoid an exception.

From milliseconds to hour, minutes, seconds and milliseconds

Here is how I would do it in Java:

int seconds = (int) (milliseconds / 1000) % 60 ;
int minutes = (int) ((milliseconds / (1000*60)) % 60);
int hours   = (int) ((milliseconds / (1000*60*60)) % 24);

How can you convert milliseconds in a format with hours, minutes and seconds in Python? (over 24 hours)

You can use the built-in divmod

def ms_to_hours(millis):
    seconds, milliseconds = divmod(millis, 1000)
    minutes, seconds = divmod(seconds, 60)
    hours, minutes = divmod(minutes, 60)
    return ("%d:%d:%d" % (hours, minutes, seconds))


if __name__ == '__main__':
    print(ms_to_hours(88000000))

Output:

24:26:40

How to convert Milliseconds to X mins, x seconds in Java?

Use the java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit class:

String.format("%d min, %d sec", 
    TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(millis),
    TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(millis) - 
    TimeUnit.MINUTES.toSeconds(TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(millis))
);

Note: TimeUnit is part of the Java 1.5 specification, but toMinutes was added as of Java 1.6.

To add a leading zero for values 0-9, just do:

String.format("%02d min, %02d sec", 
    TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(millis),
    TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(millis) - 
    TimeUnit.MINUTES.toSeconds(TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(millis))
);

If TimeUnit or toMinutes are unsupported (such as on Android before API version 9), use the following equations:

int seconds = (int) (milliseconds / 1000) % 60 ;
int minutes = (int) ((milliseconds / (1000*60)) % 60);
int hours   = (int) ((milliseconds / (1000*60*60)) % 24);
//etc...

Convert Milliseconds to Hours : Minutes : Seconds in Coldfusion?

@craigster's answer is useful if you want just the number of hours or the minutes or the seconds represented by the milliseconds.

If you want all three, you need to do a bit more arithmetic.

For instance, 23 hrs 59 mins 55 seconds:

  (23 * 60 * 60 * 1000)
+ (59 * 60 * 1000)
+ (55 * 1000)
= 86395000 milliseconds

To convert 86395000 back into HH:MM:SS you could do:

<cfscript>
hours = int(duration_in_milliseconds \ (60 * 60 * 1000));
mins = (duration_in_milliseconds \ (60 * 1000)) mod 60;
secs = (duration_in_milliseconds \ 1000) mod 60;
</cfscript>

<cfoutput>#hours# #mins# #secs#</cfoutput>

Convert milliseconds to hours:minutes:seconds:milliseconds in C++

Maybe you're looking for something like this:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
//Value chosen to be 1 hour, 1 minute, 1 second, and 1 millisecond
long milli = 3661001;
//3600000 milliseconds in an hour
long hr = milli / 3600000;
milli = milli - 3600000 * hr;
//60000 milliseconds in a minute
long min = milli / 60000;
milli = milli - 60000 * min;

//1000 milliseconds in a second
long sec = milli / 1000;
milli = milli - 1000 * sec;


cout << hr << " hours and " << min << " minutes and " << sec << " seconds and " << milli << " milliseconds." << endl;
}

Convert seconds to Hour:Minute:Second

You can use the gmdate() function:

echo gmdate("H:i:s", 685);

How do I convert seconds to hours, minutes and seconds?

You can use datetime.timedelta function:

>>> import datetime
>>> str(datetime.timedelta(seconds=666))
'0:11:06'
