TimeSpan.FromSeconds() Method in C#

The TimeSpan.FromSeconds() method in C# is used to return a TimeSpan that represents a specified number of seconds, where the specification is accurate to the nearest millisecond.

Syntax

The syntax is as follows -

public static TimeSpan FromSeconds (double val);

Above, the parameter val is the number of seconds, accurate to the nearest millisecond.

Example

Let us now see an example -

 Live Demo

using System;
public class Demo {
   public static void Main() {
      TimeSpan span1 = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(0.6768788);
      TimeSpan span2 = new TimeSpan(25, 15, 45);
      TimeSpan span3 = TimeSpan.FromHours(.4788);
      TimeSpan span4 = TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(0.8787);
      TimeSpan span5 = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(2.550);
      Console.WriteLine("TimeSpan1 = "+span1);
      Console.WriteLine("TimeSpan2 = "+span2);
      Console.WriteLine("TimeSpan3 = "+span3);
      Console.WriteLine("TimeSpan4 = "+span4);
      Console.WriteLine("TimeSpan5 = "+span5);
      Console.WriteLine("Result (Comparison of span1 and span2) = "+TimeSpan.Compare(span1, span2));
      Console.WriteLine("Result (Comparison of span2 and span3) = "+TimeSpan.Compare(span2, span3));
      Console.WriteLine("Result (Comparison of span1 and span3) = "+TimeSpan.Compare(span1, span3));
      Console.WriteLine("Result (Comparison of span3 and span4) = "+TimeSpan.Compare(span3, span4));
      Console.WriteLine("Result (Comparison of span4 and span5) = "+TimeSpan.Compare(span4, span5));
   }
}

Output

TimeSpan1 = 00:00:00.6770000
TimeSpan2 = 1.01:15:45
TimeSpan3 = 00:28:43.6800000
TimeSpan4 = 00:00:00.0010000
TimeSpan5 = 00:02:33
Result (Comparison of span1 and span2) = -1
Result (Comparison of span2 and span3) = 1
Result (Comparison of span1 and span3) = -1
Result (Comparison of span3 and span4) = 1
Result (Comparison of span4 and span5) = -1

Example

 Live Demo

using System;
public class Demo {
   public static void Main() {
      TimeSpan span1 = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1);
      TimeSpan span2 = new TimeSpan(-9, 45, 50);
      TimeSpan span3 = TimeSpan.FromHours(5);
      TimeSpan span4 = TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(10000);
      TimeSpan span5 = TimeSpan.FromMinutes(2);
      Console.WriteLine("TimeSpan1 = "+span1);
      Console.WriteLine("TimeSpan2 = "+span2);
      Console.WriteLine("TimeSpan3 = "+span3);
      Console.WriteLine("TimeSpan4 = "+span4);
      Console.WriteLine("TimeSpan5 = "+span5);
      Console.WriteLine("Result (Comparison of span1 and span2) = "+TimeSpan.Compare(span1, span2));
      Console.WriteLine("Result (Comparison of span2 and span3) = "+TimeSpan.Compare(span2, span3));
      Console.WriteLine("Result (Comparison of span1 and span3) = "+TimeSpan.Compare(span1, span3));
      Console.WriteLine("Result (Comparison of span3 and span4) = "+TimeSpan.Compare(span3, span4));
      Console.WriteLine("Result (Comparison of span4 and span5) = "+TimeSpan.Compare(span4, span5));
   }
}

Output

TimeSpan1 = 00:00:01
TimeSpan2 = -08:14:10
TimeSpan3 = 05:00:00
TimeSpan4 = 00:00:10
TimeSpan5 = 00:02:00
Result (Comparison of span1 and span2) = 1
Result (Comparison of span2 and span3) = -1
Result (Comparison of span1 and span3) = -1
Result (Comparison of span3 and span4) = 1
Result (Comparison of span4 and span5) = -1
