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

Another way would be convert seconds to date and take the components i.e seconds, minutes and hour from date itself. This solution has limitation only till 23:59:59

Answer 2

Swift 5 & String Response, In presentable format

public static func secondsToHoursMinutesSecondsStr (seconds : Int) -> String {
      let (hours, minutes, seconds) = secondsToHoursMinutesSeconds(seconds: seconds);
      var str = hours > 0 ? "\(hours) h" : ""
      str = minutes > 0 ? str + " \(minutes) min" : str
      str = seconds > 0 ? str + " \(seconds) sec" : str
      return str
  }

public static func secondsToHoursMinutesSeconds (seconds : Int) -> (Int, Int, Int) {
        return (seconds / 3600, (seconds % 3600) / 60, (seconds % 3600) % 60)
 }

Usage:

print(secondsToHoursMinutesSecondsStr(seconds: 20000)) // Result = "5 h 33 min 20 sec"

Answer 3

In Swift 5:

    var i = 9897

    func timeString(time: TimeInterval) -> String {
        let hour = Int(time) / 3600
        let minute = Int(time) / 60 % 60
        let second = Int(time) % 60

        // return formated string
        return String(format: "%02i:%02i:%02i", hour, minute, second)
    }

To call function

    timeString(time: TimeInterval(i))

Will return 02:44:57

Answer 4

Swift 4 I'm using this extension

 extension Double {

    func stringFromInterval() -> String {

        let timeInterval = Int(self)

        let millisecondsInt = Int((self.truncatingRemainder(dividingBy: 1)) * 1000)
        let secondsInt = timeInterval % 60
        let minutesInt = (timeInterval / 60) % 60
        let hoursInt = (timeInterval / 3600) % 24
        let daysInt = timeInterval / 86400

        let milliseconds = "\(millisecondsInt)ms"
        let seconds = "\(secondsInt)s" + " " + milliseconds
        let minutes = "\(minutesInt)m" + " " + seconds
        let hours = "\(hoursInt)h" + " " + minutes
        let days = "\(daysInt)d" + " " + hours

        if daysInt          > 0 { return days }
        if hoursInt         > 0 { return hours }
        if minutesInt       > 0 { return minutes }
        if secondsInt       > 0 { return seconds }
        if millisecondsInt  > 0 { return milliseconds }
        return ""
    }
}

useage

// assume myTimeInterval = 96460.397    
myTimeInteval.stringFromInterval() // 1d 2h 47m 40s 397ms

Answer 5

Define

func secondsToHoursMinutesSeconds (seconds : Int) -> (Int, Int, Int) {
  return (seconds / 3600, (seconds % 3600) / 60, (seconds % 3600) % 60)
}

Use

> secondsToHoursMinutesSeconds(27005)
(7,30,5)

or

let (h,m,s) = secondsToHoursMinutesSeconds(27005)

The above function makes use of Swift tuples to return three values at once. You destructure the tuple using the let (var, ...) syntax or can access individual tuple members, if need be.

If you actually need to print it out with the words Hours etc then use something like this:

func printSecondsToHoursMinutesSeconds (seconds:Int) -> () {
  let (h, m, s) = secondsToHoursMinutesSeconds (seconds)
  print ("\(h) Hours, \(m) Minutes, \(s) Seconds")
}

Note that the above implementation of secondsToHoursMinutesSeconds() works for Int arguments. If you want a Double version you'll need to decide what the return values are - could be (Int, Int, Double) or could be (Double, Double, Double). You could try something like:

func secondsToHoursMinutesSeconds (seconds : Double) -> (Double, Double, Double) {
  let (hr,  minf) = modf (seconds / 3600)
  let (min, secf) = modf (60 * minf)
  return (hr, min, 60 * secf)
}

Answer 6

Building upon Vadian's answer, I wrote an extension that takes a Double (of which TimeInterval is a type alias) and spits out a string formatted as time.

extension Double {
  func asString(style: DateComponentsFormatter.UnitsStyle) -> String {
    let formatter = DateComponentsFormatter()
    formatter.allowedUnits = [.hour, .minute, .second, .nanosecond]
    formatter.unitsStyle = style
    guard let formattedString = formatter.string(from: self) else { return "" }
    return formattedString
  }
}

Here are what the various DateComponentsFormatter.UnitsStyle options look like:

10000.asString(style: .positional)  // 2:46:40
10000.asString(style: .abbreviated) // 2h 46m 40s
10000.asString(style: .short)       // 2 hr, 46 min, 40 sec
10000.asString(style: .full)        // 2 hours, 46 minutes, 40 seconds
10000.asString(style: .spellOut)    // two hours, forty-six minutes, forty seconds
10000.asString(style: .brief)       // 2hr 46min 40sec
