Swift - Integer conversion to Hours/Minutes/Seconds

Question

I have a (somewhat?) basic question regarding time conversions in Swift.

I have an integer that I would like converted into Hours / Minutes / Second

Answer 1

Here is what I use for my Music Player in Swift 4+. I am converting seconds Int to readable String format

extension Int {
    var toAudioString: String {
        let h = self / 3600
        let m = (self % 3600) / 60
        let s = (self % 3600) % 60
        return h > 0 ? String(format: "%1d:%02d:%02d", h, m, s) : String(format: "%1d:%02d", m, s)
    }
}

Use like this:

print(7903.toAudioString)

Output: 2:11:43

Answer 2

Here is another simple implementation in Swift3.

func seconds2Timestamp(intSeconds:Int)->String {
   let mins:Int = intSeconds/60
   let hours:Int = mins/60
   let secs:Int = intSeconds%60

   let strTimestamp:String = ((hours<10) ? "0" : "") + String(hours) + ":" + ((mins<10) ? "0" : "") + String(mins) + ":" + ((secs<10) ? "0" : "") + String(secs)
   return strTimestamp
}

Answer 3

Answer of @r3dm4n was great. However, I needed also hour in it. Just in case someone else needed too here it is:

func formatSecondsToString(_ seconds: TimeInterval) -> String {
    if seconds.isNaN {
        return "00:00:00"
    }
    let sec = Int(seconds.truncatingRemainder(dividingBy: 60))
    let min = Int(seconds.truncatingRemainder(dividingBy: 3600) / 60)
    let hour = Int(seconds / 3600)
    return String(format: "%02d:%02d:%02d", hour, min, sec)
}

Answer 4

In macOS 10.10+ / iOS 8.0+ (NS)DateComponentsFormatter has been introduced to create a readable string.

It considers the user's locale und language.

let interval = 27005

let formatter = DateComponentsFormatter()
formatter.allowedUnits = [.hour, .minute, .second]
formatter.unitsStyle = .full

let formattedString = formatter.string(from: TimeInterval(interval))!
print(formattedString)

The available unit styles are positional, abbreviated, short, full, spellOut and brief.

Swift 4

func formatSecondsToString(_ seconds: TimeInterval) -> String {
    if seconds.isNaN {
        return "00:00"
    }
    let Min = Int(seconds / 60)
    let Sec = Int(seconds.truncatingRemainder(dividingBy: 60))
    return String(format: "%02d:%02d", Min, Sec)
}

Answer 6

I have built a mashup of existing answers to simplify everything and reduce the amount of code needed for Swift 3.

func hmsFrom(seconds: Int, completion: @escaping (_ hours: Int, _ minutes: Int, _ seconds: Int)->()) {

        completion(seconds / 3600, (seconds % 3600) / 60, (seconds % 3600) % 60)

}

func getStringFrom(seconds: Int) -> String {

    return seconds < 10 ? "0\(seconds)" : "\(seconds)"
}

Usage:

var seconds: Int = 100

hmsFrom(seconds: seconds) { hours, minutes, seconds in

    let hours = getStringFrom(seconds: hours)
    let minutes = getStringFrom(seconds: minutes)
    let seconds = getStringFrom(seconds: seconds)

    print("\(hours):\(minutes):\(seconds)")                
}

Prints:

00:01:40
