Python program to convert seconds into hours, minutes and seconds

Python Server Side Programming Programming

In this article, we will learn about the solution to the problem statement given below.

Problem statement: We are given time, we need to convert seconds into hours & minutes to seconds.

There are three approaches as discussed below−

Approach 1: The brute-force method

Example

def convert(seconds):
   seconds = seconds % (24 * 3600)
   hour = seconds // 3600
   seconds %= 3600
   minutes = seconds // 60
   seconds %= 60
   return "%02d:%02d:%02d" % (hour, minutes, seconds) #formatting
n = 23451
print(convert(n))

Output

06:30:51

Approach 2: The datetime module

Example

Live Demo

#using date-time module
import datetime
def convert(n):
   return str(datetime.timedelta(seconds = n))
n = 23451
print(convert(n))

Output

6:30:51

Approach 3: THe time module

Example

Live Demo

#using time module
import time
def convert(seconds):
   return time.strftime("%H:%M:%S", time.gmtime(n))
n = 23451
print(convert(n))

Output

06:30:51

Conclusion

In this article, we have learned about how we can convert seconds into hours, minutes and seconds.
