I have a webinar that runs every 15 minutes of every hour of the day (EG: 11:00, 11:15, 11:30 & 11:45).
I'd like a countdown timer that shows the remaining minutes until the next start time and all I can find from days of searches and trying to figure this out myself is an hourly countdown.
My question is, how do I update this code for be every 15 minutes not every 60.
<script>
/* Return minutes and seconds to next hour
** #returns {Object} minutes: minutes remaining
** seconds: seconds remaining
*/
function getTimeRemaining() {
var t = Date.now();
var seconds = (60 - Math.floor(t % 6e4 / 1e3)) % 60;
var minutes = 60 - Math.ceil(t % 3.6e6 / 6e4) + (seconds? 0:1);
return {
'minutes': ('0' + minutes).slice(-2),
'seconds': ('0' + seconds).slice(-2) };
}
// Simple show remaining function
function showRemaining() {
var r = getTimeRemaining();
document.getElementById('clock').textContent = (r.minutes + ':' + ('0' + r.seconds).slice(-2));
// Run again just after next full second
setTimeout(showRemaining, 1020 - (Date.now() % 1000));
}
showRemaining();
</script>
That solution seems overly complicated and you should be definitely using setInterval for a task where you have to update something every x seconds, recursively calling setTimeout is a bad idea. Here is a solution that is much more understandable:
const runEvery = 15 * 60; // 15 minutes in seconds
const showRemaining = () => {
// get current time in seconds and find when the next run starts in seconds
const seconds = Math.round(Date.now() / 1000);
const nextRun = runEvery * Math.ceil(seconds / runEvery);
const timeLeft = nextRun - seconds;
const minutesLeft = Math.floor(timeLeft / 60);
const secondsLeft = timeLeft % 60;
document.getElementById('clock').textContent = minutesLeft + ':' + ('0' + secondsLeft).slice(-2);
}
showRemaining();
setInterval(showRemaining, 1000);
<div id="clock"></div>
This is a common problem but I'm not sure how to solve it. The code below works fine.
var mind = time % (60 * 60);
var minutes = Math.floor(mind / 60);
var secd = mind % 60;
var seconds = Math.ceil(secd);
However, when I get to 1 hour or 3600 seconds it returns 0 minutes and 0 seconds. How can I avoid this so it returns all the minutes?
To get the number of full minutes, divide the number of total seconds by 60 (60 seconds/minute):
const minutes = Math.floor(time / 60);
And to get the remaining seconds, multiply the full minutes with 60 and subtract from the total seconds:
const seconds = time - minutes * 60;
Now if you also want to get the full hours too, divide the number of total seconds by 3600 (60 minutes/hour · 60 seconds/minute) first, then calculate the remaining seconds:
const hours = Math.floor(time / 3600);
time = time - hours * 3600;
Then you calculate the full minutes and remaining seconds.
Bonus:
Use the following code to pretty-print the time (suggested by Dru):
function str_pad_left(string, pad, length) {
return (new Array(length + 1).join(pad) + string).slice(-length);
}
const finalTime = str_pad_left(minutes, '0', 2) + ':' + str_pad_left(seconds, '0', 2);
Another fancy solution:
function fancyTimeFormat(duration) {
// Hours, minutes and seconds
const hrs = ~~(duration / 3600);
const mins = ~~((duration % 3600) / 60);
const secs = ~~duration % 60;
// Output like "1:01" or "4:03:59" or "123:03:59"
let ret = "";
if (hrs > 0) {
ret += "" + hrs + ":" + (mins < 10 ? "0" : "");
}
ret += "" + mins + ":" + (secs < 10 ? "0" : "");
ret += "" + secs;
return ret;
}
console.log(
fancyTimeFormat(1),
fancyTimeFormat(10),
fancyTimeFormat(100),
fancyTimeFormat(1000),
fancyTimeFormat(10000),
);
~~ is a shorthand for Math.floor, see this link for more info
For people dropping in hoping for a quick simple and thus short solution to format seconds into M:SS :
function fmtMSS(s){return(s-(s%=60))/60+(9<s?':':':0')+s}
done..
The function accepts either a Number (preferred) or a String (2 conversion 'penalties' which you can halve by prepending + in the function call's argument for s as in: fmtMSS(+strSeconds)), representing positive integer seconds s as argument.
Examples:
fmtMSS( 0 ); // 0:00
fmtMSS( '8'); // 0:08
fmtMSS( 9 ); // 0:09
fmtMSS( '10'); // 0:10
fmtMSS( 59 ); // 0:59
fmtMSS( +'60'); // 1:00
fmtMSS( 69 ); // 1:09
fmtMSS( 3599 ); // 59:59
fmtMSS('3600'); // 60:00
fmtMSS('3661'); // 61:01
fmtMSS( 7425 ); // 123:45
Breakdown:
function fmtMSS(s){ // accepts seconds as Number or String. Returns m:ss
return( s - // take value s and subtract (will try to convert String to Number)
( s %= 60 ) // the new value of s, now holding the remainder of s divided by 60
// (will also try to convert String to Number)
) / 60 + ( // and divide the resulting Number by 60
// (can never result in a fractional value = no need for rounding)
// to which we concatenate a String (converts the Number to String)
// who's reference is chosen by the conditional operator:
9 < s // if seconds is larger than 9
? ':' // then we don't need to prepend a zero
: ':0' // else we do need to prepend a zero
) + s ; // and we add Number s to the string (converting it to String as well)
}
Note: Negative range could be added by prepending (0>s?(s=-s,'-'):'')+ to the return expression (actually, (0>s?(s=-s,'-'):0)+ would work as well).
2020 UPDATE
Using basic math and simple javascript this can be done in just a few lines of code.
EXAMPLE - Convert 7735 seconds to HH:MM:SS.
MATH:
Calculations use:
Math.floor() - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Math/floor
The Math.floor() function returns the largest integer less than or equal to a given number.
% arithmetic operator (Remainder) - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Arithmetic_Operators#Remainder
The remainder operator returns the remainder left over when one operand is divided by a second operand. It always takes the sign of the dividend.
Check out code below. Seconds are divided by 3600 to get number of hours and a remainder, which is used to calculate number of minutes and seconds.
HOURS => 7735 / 3600 = 2 remainder 535
MINUTES => 535 / 60 = 8 remainder 55
SECONDS => 55
LEADING ZEROS:
Many answers here use complicated methods to show number of hours, minutes and seconds in a proper way with leading zero - 45, 04 etc. This can be done using padStart(). This works for strings so the number must be converted to string using toString().
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/padStart
The padStart() method pads the current string with another string (multiple times, if needed) until the resulting string reaches the given length. The padding is applied from the start of the current string.
CODE:
function secondsToTime(e){
const h = Math.floor(e / 3600).toString().padStart(2,'0'),
m = Math.floor(e % 3600 / 60).toString().padStart(2,'0'),
s = Math.floor(e % 60).toString().padStart(2,'0');
return h + ':' + m + ':' + s;
//return `${h}:${m}:${s}`;
}
console.log(secondsToTime(7735)); // 02:08:55
/*
secondsToTime(SECONDS) // HH:MM:SS
secondsToTime(8) // 00:00:08
secondsToTime(68) // 00:01:08
secondsToTime(1768) // 00:29:28
secondsToTime(3600) // 01:00:00
secondsToTime(5296) // 01:28:16
secondsToTime(7735) // 02:08:55
secondsToTime(45296) // 12:34:56
secondsToTime(145296) // 40:21:36
secondsToTime(1145296) // 318:08:16
*/
2019 best variant
Format hh:mm:ss
console.log(display(60 * 60 * 2.5 + 25)) // 2.5 hours + 25 seconds
function display (seconds) {
const format = val => `0${Math.floor(val)}`.slice(-2)
const hours = seconds / 3600
const minutes = (seconds % 3600) / 60
return [hours, minutes, seconds % 60].map(format).join(':')
}
You can also use native Date object:
var date = new Date(null);
date.setSeconds(timeInSeconds);
// retrieve time ignoring the browser timezone - returns hh:mm:ss
var utc = date.toUTCString();
// negative start index in substr does not work in IE 8 and earlier
var time = utc.substr(utc.indexOf(':') - 2, 8)
// retrieve each value individually - returns h:m:s
var time = date.getUTCHours() + ':' + date.getUTCMinutes() + ':' + date.getUTCSeconds();
// does not work in IE8 and below - returns hh:mm:ss
var time = date.toISOString().substr(11, 8);
// not recommended - only if seconds number includes timezone difference
var time = date.toTimeString().substr(0, 8);
Of course this solution works only for timeInSeconds less than 24 hours ;)
function secondsToMinutes(time){
return Math.floor(time / 60)+':'+Math.floor(time % 60);
}
To add leading zeros, I would just do:
const secondsToMinSecPadded = time => {
const minutes = "0" + Math.floor(time / 60);
const seconds = "0" + (time - minutes * 60);
return minutes.substr(-2) + ":" + seconds.substr(-2);
};
console.log(secondsToMinSecPadded(241));
Nice and short
Moment.js
If you are using Moment.js then you can use there built in Duration object
const duration = moment.duration(4825, 'seconds');
const h = duration.hours(); // 1
const m = duration.minutes(); // 20
const s = duration.seconds(); // 25
Clean one liner using ES6
const secondsToMinutes = seconds => Math.floor(seconds / 60) + ':' + ('0' + Math.floor(seconds % 60)).slice(-2);
The most concise method I found can be done using in just one line:
let timeString = `${timeInSeconds/60|0}:${timeInSeconds%60}`
Explanation
`${...}`Template literals. Allows for expressions to be converted into a string from within the string itself.Note: Incompatible with IE.
timeInSeconds/60|0Takes the seconds and converts in into minutes (/60). This gives a rational number. From here it is truncated using the bitwise OR (|0)
timeInSeconds%60Remainder (modulo). Gives the remainder of the variable divided by 60.
Hours
This method can be expanded to include hours like this:
let timeString = `${timeInSeconds/60/60|0}:${timeInSeconds/60%60|0}:${timeInSeconds%60}`
Repeating this process, you can even include days.
A one liner (doesnt work with hours):
function sectostr(time) {
return ~~(time / 60) + ":" + (time % 60 < 10 ? "0" : "") + time % 60;
}
Seconds to h:mm:ss
var hours = Math.floor(time / 3600);
time -= hours * 3600;
var minutes = Math.floor(time / 60);
time -= minutes * 60;
var seconds = parseInt(time % 60, 10);
console.log(hours + ':' + (minutes < 10 ? '0' + minutes : minutes) + ':' + (seconds < 10 ? '0' + seconds : seconds));
The Following function will help you to get Days , Hours , Minutes , seconds
toDDHHMMSS(inputSeconds){
const Days = Math.floor( inputSeconds / (60 * 60 * 24) );
const Hour = Math.floor((inputSeconds % (60 * 60 * 24)) / (60 * 60));
const Minutes = Math.floor(((inputSeconds % (60 * 60 * 24)) % (60 * 60)) / 60 );
const Seconds = Math.floor(((inputSeconds % (60 * 60 * 24)) % (60 * 60)) % 60 );
let ddhhmmss = '';
if (Days > 0){
ddhhmmss += Days + ' Day ';
}
if (Hour > 0){
ddhhmmss += Hour + ' Hour ';
}
if (Minutes > 0){
ddhhmmss += Minutes + ' Minutes ';
}
if (Seconds > 0){
ddhhmmss += Seconds + ' Seconds ';
}
return ddhhmmss;
}
alert( toDDHHMMSS(2000));
After all this, yet another simple solution:
const time = new Date(null);
time.setSeconds(7530);
console.log(time.getHours(), time.getMinutes(), time.getSeconds());
Another but much more elegant solution for this is as follows:
/**
* Convert number secs to display time
*
* 65 input becomes 01:05.
*
* #param Number inputSeconds Seconds input.
*/
export const toMMSS = inputSeconds => {
const secs = parseInt( inputSeconds, 10 );
let minutes = Math.floor( secs / 60 );
let seconds = secs - minutes * 60;
if ( 10 > minutes ) {
minutes = '0' + minutes;
}
if ( 10 > seconds ) {
seconds = '0' + seconds;
}
// Return display.
return minutes + ':' + seconds;
};
function formatSeconds(s: number) {
let minutes = ~~(s / 60);
let seconds = ~~(s % 60);
return minutes + ':' + seconds;
}
For adding zeros I really don't see the need to have a full other function where you can simply use for example
var mins=Math.floor(StrTime/60);
var secs=StrTime-mins * 60;
var hrs=Math.floor(StrTime / 3600);
RoundTime.innerHTML=(hrs>9?hrs:"0"+hrs) + ":" + (mins>9?mins:"0"+mins) + ":" + (secs>9?secs:"0"+secs);
Its why we have conditional statements in the first place.
(condition?if true:if false) so if example seconds is more than 9 than just show seconds else add a string 0 before it.
var seconds = 60;
var measuredTime = new Date(null);
measuredTime.setSeconds(seconds); // specify value of SECONDS
var Time = measuredTime.toISOString().substr(11, 8);
document.getElementById("id1").value = Time;
<div class="form-group">
<label for="course" class="col-md-4">Time</label>
<div class="col-md-8">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="id1" name="field">Min
</div>
</div>
Try this:
Converting Second to HOURS, MIN and SEC.
function convertTime(sec) {
var hours = Math.floor(sec/3600);
(hours >= 1) ? sec = sec - (hours*3600) : hours = '00';
var min = Math.floor(sec/60);
(min >= 1) ? sec = sec - (min*60) : min = '00';
(sec < 1) ? sec='00' : void 0;
(min.toString().length == 1) ? min = '0'+min : void 0;
(sec.toString().length == 1) ? sec = '0'+sec : void 0;
return hours+':'+min+':'+sec;
}
1 - Get rest of division using %. Now you have the seconds that don't complete a minute
2 - Subtract the seconds obtained in step 1 from the total. Now you have the minutes
For example, let's assume you have 700 seconds:
seconds = 700%60); //40 seconds
minutes = (700 - (700%60))/60; //11
//11:40
I was thinking of a faster way to get this done and this is what i came up with
var sec = parseInt(time);
var min=0;
while(sec>59){ sec-=60; min++;}
If we want to convert "time" to minutes and seconds, for example:
// time = 75,3 sec
var sec = parseInt(time); //sec = 75
var min=0;
while(sec>59){ sec-=60; min++;} //sec = 15; min = 1
Put my two cents in :
function convertSecondsToMinutesAndSeconds(seconds){
var minutes;
var seconds;
minutes = Math.floor(seconds/60);
seconds = seconds%60;
return [minutes, seconds];
}
So this :
var minutesAndSeconds = convertSecondsToMinutesAndSeconds(101);
Will have the following output :
[1,41];
Then you can print it like so :
console.log('TIME : ' + minutesSeconds[0] + ' minutes, ' + minutesSeconds[1] + ' seconds');
//TIME : 1 minutes, 41 seconds
export function TrainingTime(props) {
const {train_time } = props;
const hours = Math.floor(train_time/3600);
const minutes = Math.floor((train_time-hours * 3600) / 60);
const seconds = Math.floor((train_time%60));
return `${hours} hrs ${minutes} min ${seconds} sec`;
}
Day.js
If you use day.js, try this.
const dayjs = require('dayjs')
const duration = require('dayjs/plugin/duration')
dayjs.extend(duration)
const time = dayjs.duration(100, 'seconds')
time.seconds() // 40
time.minutes() // 1
time.format('mm:ss') // 01:40
I prefer thinking of Millisecond as its own unit, rather than as a subunit of something else. In that sense, it will have values of 0-999, so you're going to want to Pad three instead of two like I have seen with other answers. Here is an implementation:
function format(n) {
let mil_s = String(n % 1000).padStart(3, '0');
n = Math.trunc(n / 1000);
let sec_s = String(n % 60).padStart(2, '0');
n = Math.trunc(n / 60);
return String(n) + ' m ' + sec_s + ' s ' + mil_s + ' ms';
}
console.log(format(241));
https://developer.mozilla.org/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/padStart
Here's an ES6 version of the seconds to minutes and seconds conversion, with padding (00:00 format). It only accepts integer values for seconds and ~~(x) is the shorthand floor operation.
const padTime = n => ("" + n).padStart(2, 0);
const secondsToMinSec = time =>
`${padTime(~~(time / 60))}:${padTime(time - ~~(time / 60) * 60)}`
;
for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
const seconds = ~~(Math.random() * 300);
console.log(seconds, secondsToMinSec(seconds));
}
if you need to work with the result easily later this is what I use:
function seconds2hms(seconds, milliseconds) {
if(milliseconds) {
seconds = Math.floor(seconds/1000);
}
return {h:~~(seconds / 3600),m:~~((seconds % 3600) / 60),s:~~seconds % 60}
}
(used Vishal's code)
strftime.js (strftime github) is one of the best time formatting libraries. It's extremely light - 30KB - and effective. Using it you can convert seconds into time easily in one line of code, relying mostly on the native Date class.
When creating a new Date, each optional argument is positional as follows:
new Date(year, month, day, hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds);
So if you initialize a new Date with all arguments as zero up to the seconds, you'll get:
var seconds = 150;
var date = new Date(0,0,0,0,0,seconds);
=> Sun Dec 31 1899 00:02:30 GMT-0500 (EST)
You can see that 150 seconds is 2-minutes and 30-seconds, as seen in the date created. Then using an strftime format ("%M:%S" for "MM:SS"), it will output your minutes' string.
var mm_ss_str = strftime("%M:%S", date);
=> "02:30"
In one line, it would look like:
var mm_ss_str = strftime('%M:%S', new Date(0,0,0,0,0,seconds));
=> "02:30"
Plus this would allow you to interchangeable support HH:MM:SS and MM:SS based on the number of seconds. For example:
# Less than an Hour (seconds < 3600)
var seconds = 2435;
strftime((seconds >= 3600 ? '%H:%M:%S' : '%M:%S'), new Date(0,0,0,0,0,seconds));
=> "40:35"
# More than an Hour (seconds >= 3600)
var seconds = 10050;
strftime((seconds >= 3600 ? '%H:%M:%S' : '%M:%S'), new Date(0,0,0,0,0,seconds));
=> "02:47:30"
And of course, you can simply pass whatever format you want to strftime if you want the time string to be more or less semantic.
var format = 'Honey, you said you\'d be read in %S seconds %M minutes ago!';
strftime(format, new Date(0,0,0,0,0,1210));
=> "Honey, you said you'd be read in 10 seconds 20 minutes ago!"
You've done enough code to track minutes and seconds portions of time.
What you could do is add the hours factor in:
var hrd = time % (60 * 60 * 60);
var hours = Math.floor(hrd / 60);
var mind = hrd % 60;
var minutes = Math.floor(mind / 60);
var secd = mind % 60;
var seconds = Math.ceil(secd);
var moreminutes = minutes + hours * 60
I alreay have some code for a countdown, but would like to make it pause for some hours when at 0 (with a text displayed), and then starts again for 14 days.
<script type="text/JavaScript">
var Display=document.getElementById("Counter");
function Countdown() {
var date1 = new Date();
var date2 = new Date ("Oct 20 20:00:00 2017");
var sec = (date2 - date1) / 1000;
var n = 24 * 3600;
if (sec > 0) {
j = Math.floor (sec / n);
h = Math.floor ((sec - (d * n)) / 3600);
mn = Math.floor ((sec - ((d * n + h * 3600))) / 60);
sec = Math.floor (sec - ((d * n + h * 3600 + mn * 60)));
Affiche.innerHTML = "Next game in : " + d +" d "+ h +" h "+ mn +" min "+ sec + " s ";
window.status = "Remaining time : " + d +" d "+ h +" h "+ mn +" min "+ sec + " s ";
}
tCountdown=setTimeout ("Countdown();", 1000);
}
Countdown();
</script>
So to sum up:
1. The countdown reach 0
2. It blocks for 4 hours and display a text ("We are currently playing")
3. It starts again for around 14 days.
I am thinking of something like this to start again the countdown:
var dateX = var date2 + (a length of time around 14 days)
Am I right?
Can I do this only with Javascript?
I broke it up into a bunch of functions so you can reason about it. If you want to test it, you can set the initial seconds in the sec variable to something small, like 10, and then you can also set the second argument in setTimeout to something small, like 10.
<div id="counter"></div>
<script>
// initialize
var first_target_date = new Date ("Oct 20 20:00:00 2017");
var sec = calcSecDiff(new Date(), first_target_date);
var counter = document.getElementById("counter");
var timeout; // we will update this global variable when we want to stop the whole thing
// start the countdown
countdown();
// do it again every second
var interval = setInterval(function(){
countdown();
}, 1000);
function countdown() {
counter.innerHTML = parseTime(sec);
// decrement the second
sec--;
// if we get to 0
if (sec < 0) {
clearInterval(interval);
counter.innerHTML = "We are currently playing";
if (timeout) return; // it's over
var timeout = setTimeout(function(){
sec = daysToSec(14); // reset the seconds to 14 days away
var interval = setInterval(function(){
countdown();
}, 1000);
}, hrsToMs(4)); // wait four hours before counting down again
};
}
// returns days, hours, minutes, and seconds from seconds
// see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/13903897/javascript-return-number-of-days-hours-minutes-seconds-between-two-dates
function parseTime(sec){
// calculate (and subtract) whole days
var days = Math.floor(sec / 86400);
sec -= days * 86400;
// calculate (and subtract) whole hours
var hours = Math.floor(sec / 3600) % 24;
sec -= hours * 3600;
// calculate (and subtract) whole minutes
var minutes = Math.floor(sec / 60) % 60;
sec -= minutes * 60;
// what's left is seconds
var seconds = sec % 60;
return days + " days, " + hours + " hours, " + minutes + " minutes, " + seconds + " seconds";
}
// calculates the difference between two dates in seconds
function calcSecDiff(date1, date2){
return Math.round((date2 - date1) / 1000);
}
// converts hours to milliseconds
function hrsToMs(hrs){
return hrs * 60 * 60 * 1000;
}
// converts days to seconds
function daysToSec(days){
return days * 24 * 60 * 60;
}
</script>
I've got a function here that outputs seconds as days, minutes, and seconds, and I'd like it run once a second, and add one to the delta - giving a semi accurate difference between two dates.
$(document).ready(function() {
if ($("#time").length) {
var delta = document.getElementById('time').innerHTML;
function timer(delta) {
setInterval(function() {
// calculate (and subtract) whole days
var days = Math.floor(delta / 86400);
delta -= days * 86400;
// calculate (and subtract) whole hours
var hours = Math.floor(delta / 3600) % 24;
delta -= hours * 3600;
// calculate (and subtract) whole minutes
var minutes = Math.floor(delta / 60) % 60;
delta -= minutes * 60;
// what's left is seconds
var seconds = delta % 60;
// console.log(minutes);
console.log(days + " " + hours + " " + minutes + " " + seconds)
timer(delta + 1)
}, 1000);
}
}
});
What do I need to change to achieve this? I have some familiarity with recursion - but not a lot, in all honesty.
Change 'setInterval' to 'setTimeout'.
setInterval according to MDN:
Repeatedly calls a function or executes a code snippet, with a fixed
time delay between each call. Returns an intervalID.
Which means that it will run the once per 1000ms, and call the timer() function that will spawn another setInterval. Now you'll have to 2 setInterval running, 4 after 1000ms, etc...
setTimeout on the other hand expires after it invokes the callback. The callback will execute, and start a new timer, and the cycle will continue.
var time = document.getElementById('time');
function timer(delta) {
setTimeout(function() {
// calculate (and subtract) whole days
var days = Math.floor(delta / 86400);
delta -= days * 86400;
// calculate (and subtract) whole hours
var hours = Math.floor(delta / 3600) % 24;
delta -= hours * 3600;
// calculate (and subtract) whole minutes
var minutes = Math.floor(delta / 60) % 60;
delta -= minutes * 60;
// what's left is seconds
var seconds = delta % 60;
time.innerHTML = (days + " " + hours + " " + minutes + " " + seconds);
timer(delta + 1)
}, 1000);
}
timer(0);
<div id="time"></div>
You can continue to use setInterval() if you update the outer variable delta within your timer() function
var delta = document.getElementById('time').innerHTML;
function timer() {
// calculate (and subtract) whole days
var days = Math.floor(delta / 86400);
delta -= days * 86400;
// calculate (and subtract) whole hours
var hours = Math.floor(delta / 3600) % 24;
delta -= hours * 3600;
// calculate (and subtract) whole minutes
var minutes = Math.floor(delta / 60) % 60;
delta -= minutes * 60;
// what's left is seconds
var seconds = delta % 60;
// console.log(minutes);
document.getElementById('result').innerHTML = days + " " + hours + " " + minutes + " " + seconds;
delta++;
}
setInterval(timer, 1000);
<div id="time">0</div>
<div id="result"></div>
Here's how I would write it out :
$(document).ready(function() {
function Timer(delta) {
// Local variables
var delta, intervalId;
this.start = function(initialDelta) {
if (!intervalId) {
delta = initialDelta;
intervalId = window.setInterval(function() {
// calculate (and subtract) whole days
var days = Math.floor(delta / 86400);
delta -= days * 86400;
// calculate (and subtract) whole hours
var hours = Math.floor(delta / 3600) % 24;
delta -= hours * 3600;
// calculate (and subtract) whole minutes
var minutes = Math.floor(delta / 60) % 60;
delta -= minutes * 60;
// what's left is seconds
var seconds = delta % 60;
// console.log(minutes);
console.log(days + " " + hours + " " + minutes + " " + seconds)
delta++;
})
}
}
this.stop = function() {
if (intervalId) {
window.clearInterval(intervalId);
}
}
}
if ($("#time").length) {
var timer = new Timer();
var delta = parseInt(document.getElementById('time').innerHTML);
timer.start(delta);
window.setTimeout(function() { timer.stop(); }, 5000);
}
});
Quick explanation : by using a constructor function Timer, you can isolate delta to each instance of Timer (like a private variable of a class in Java). By doing this, you avoid having to use recursion and your initial method using setInterval works perfectly well for this purpose, because every time the function is called, it can access and modify its own local delta.
This would allow you to start multiple timers, start them with different delta values, etc..
This is a common problem but I'm not sure how to solve it. The code below works fine.
var mind = time % (60 * 60);
var minutes = Math.floor(mind / 60);
var secd = mind % 60;
var seconds = Math.ceil(secd);
However, when I get to 1 hour or 3600 seconds it returns 0 minutes and 0 seconds. How can I avoid this so it returns all the minutes?
To get the number of full minutes, divide the number of total seconds by 60 (60 seconds/minute):
const minutes = Math.floor(time / 60);
And to get the remaining seconds, multiply the full minutes with 60 and subtract from the total seconds:
const seconds = time - minutes * 60;
Now if you also want to get the full hours too, divide the number of total seconds by 3600 (60 minutes/hour · 60 seconds/minute) first, then calculate the remaining seconds:
const hours = Math.floor(time / 3600);
time = time - hours * 3600;
Then you calculate the full minutes and remaining seconds.
Bonus:
Use the following code to pretty-print the time (suggested by Dru):
function str_pad_left(string, pad, length) {
return (new Array(length + 1).join(pad) + string).slice(-length);
}
const finalTime = str_pad_left(minutes, '0', 2) + ':' + str_pad_left(seconds, '0', 2);
Another fancy solution:
function fancyTimeFormat(duration) {
// Hours, minutes and seconds
const hrs = ~~(duration / 3600);
const mins = ~~((duration % 3600) / 60);
const secs = ~~duration % 60;
// Output like "1:01" or "4:03:59" or "123:03:59"
let ret = "";
if (hrs > 0) {
ret += "" + hrs + ":" + (mins < 10 ? "0" : "");
}
ret += "" + mins + ":" + (secs < 10 ? "0" : "");
ret += "" + secs;
return ret;
}
console.log(
fancyTimeFormat(1),
fancyTimeFormat(10),
fancyTimeFormat(100),
fancyTimeFormat(1000),
fancyTimeFormat(10000),
);
~~ is a shorthand for Math.floor, see this link for more info
For people dropping in hoping for a quick simple and thus short solution to format seconds into M:SS :
function fmtMSS(s){return(s-(s%=60))/60+(9<s?':':':0')+s}
done..
The function accepts either a Number (preferred) or a String (2 conversion 'penalties' which you can halve by prepending + in the function call's argument for s as in: fmtMSS(+strSeconds)), representing positive integer seconds s as argument.
Examples:
fmtMSS( 0 ); // 0:00
fmtMSS( '8'); // 0:08
fmtMSS( 9 ); // 0:09
fmtMSS( '10'); // 0:10
fmtMSS( 59 ); // 0:59
fmtMSS( +'60'); // 1:00
fmtMSS( 69 ); // 1:09
fmtMSS( 3599 ); // 59:59
fmtMSS('3600'); // 60:00
fmtMSS('3661'); // 61:01
fmtMSS( 7425 ); // 123:45
Breakdown:
function fmtMSS(s){ // accepts seconds as Number or String. Returns m:ss
return( s - // take value s and subtract (will try to convert String to Number)
( s %= 60 ) // the new value of s, now holding the remainder of s divided by 60
// (will also try to convert String to Number)
) / 60 + ( // and divide the resulting Number by 60
// (can never result in a fractional value = no need for rounding)
// to which we concatenate a String (converts the Number to String)
// who's reference is chosen by the conditional operator:
9 < s // if seconds is larger than 9
? ':' // then we don't need to prepend a zero
: ':0' // else we do need to prepend a zero
) + s ; // and we add Number s to the string (converting it to String as well)
}
Note: Negative range could be added by prepending (0>s?(s=-s,'-'):'')+ to the return expression (actually, (0>s?(s=-s,'-'):0)+ would work as well).
2020 UPDATE
Using basic math and simple javascript this can be done in just a few lines of code.
EXAMPLE - Convert 7735 seconds to HH:MM:SS.
MATH:
Calculations use:
Math.floor() - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Math/floor
The Math.floor() function returns the largest integer less than or equal to a given number.
% arithmetic operator (Remainder) - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Arithmetic_Operators#Remainder
The remainder operator returns the remainder left over when one operand is divided by a second operand. It always takes the sign of the dividend.
Check out code below. Seconds are divided by 3600 to get number of hours and a remainder, which is used to calculate number of minutes and seconds.
HOURS => 7735 / 3600 = 2 remainder 535
MINUTES => 535 / 60 = 8 remainder 55
SECONDS => 55
LEADING ZEROS:
Many answers here use complicated methods to show number of hours, minutes and seconds in a proper way with leading zero - 45, 04 etc. This can be done using padStart(). This works for strings so the number must be converted to string using toString().
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/padStart
The padStart() method pads the current string with another string (multiple times, if needed) until the resulting string reaches the given length. The padding is applied from the start of the current string.
CODE:
function secondsToTime(e){
const h = Math.floor(e / 3600).toString().padStart(2,'0'),
m = Math.floor(e % 3600 / 60).toString().padStart(2,'0'),
s = Math.floor(e % 60).toString().padStart(2,'0');
return h + ':' + m + ':' + s;
//return `${h}:${m}:${s}`;
}
console.log(secondsToTime(7735)); // 02:08:55
/*
secondsToTime(SECONDS) // HH:MM:SS
secondsToTime(8) // 00:00:08
secondsToTime(68) // 00:01:08
secondsToTime(1768) // 00:29:28
secondsToTime(3600) // 01:00:00
secondsToTime(5296) // 01:28:16
secondsToTime(7735) // 02:08:55
secondsToTime(45296) // 12:34:56
secondsToTime(145296) // 40:21:36
secondsToTime(1145296) // 318:08:16
*/
2019 best variant
Format hh:mm:ss
console.log(display(60 * 60 * 2.5 + 25)) // 2.5 hours + 25 seconds
function display (seconds) {
const format = val => `0${Math.floor(val)}`.slice(-2)
const hours = seconds / 3600
const minutes = (seconds % 3600) / 60
return [hours, minutes, seconds % 60].map(format).join(':')
}
You can also use native Date object:
var date = new Date(null);
date.setSeconds(timeInSeconds);
// retrieve time ignoring the browser timezone - returns hh:mm:ss
var utc = date.toUTCString();
// negative start index in substr does not work in IE 8 and earlier
var time = utc.substr(utc.indexOf(':') - 2, 8)
// retrieve each value individually - returns h:m:s
var time = date.getUTCHours() + ':' + date.getUTCMinutes() + ':' + date.getUTCSeconds();
// does not work in IE8 and below - returns hh:mm:ss
var time = date.toISOString().substr(11, 8);
// not recommended - only if seconds number includes timezone difference
var time = date.toTimeString().substr(0, 8);
Of course this solution works only for timeInSeconds less than 24 hours ;)
function secondsToMinutes(time){
return Math.floor(time / 60)+':'+Math.floor(time % 60);
}
To add leading zeros, I would just do:
const secondsToMinSecPadded = time => {
const minutes = "0" + Math.floor(time / 60);
const seconds = "0" + (time - minutes * 60);
return minutes.substr(-2) + ":" + seconds.substr(-2);
};
console.log(secondsToMinSecPadded(241));
Nice and short
Moment.js
If you are using Moment.js then you can use there built in Duration object
const duration = moment.duration(4825, 'seconds');
const h = duration.hours(); // 1
const m = duration.minutes(); // 20
const s = duration.seconds(); // 25
Clean one liner using ES6
const secondsToMinutes = seconds => Math.floor(seconds / 60) + ':' + ('0' + Math.floor(seconds % 60)).slice(-2);
The most concise method I found can be done using in just one line:
let timeString = `${timeInSeconds/60|0}:${timeInSeconds%60}`
Explanation
`${...}`Template literals. Allows for expressions to be converted into a string from within the string itself.Note: Incompatible with IE.
timeInSeconds/60|0Takes the seconds and converts in into minutes (/60). This gives a rational number. From here it is truncated using the bitwise OR (|0)
timeInSeconds%60Remainder (modulo). Gives the remainder of the variable divided by 60.
Hours
This method can be expanded to include hours like this:
let timeString = `${timeInSeconds/60/60|0}:${timeInSeconds/60%60|0}:${timeInSeconds%60}`
Repeating this process, you can even include days.
A one liner (doesnt work with hours):
function sectostr(time) {
return ~~(time / 60) + ":" + (time % 60 < 10 ? "0" : "") + time % 60;
}
Seconds to h:mm:ss
var hours = Math.floor(time / 3600);
time -= hours * 3600;
var minutes = Math.floor(time / 60);
time -= minutes * 60;
var seconds = parseInt(time % 60, 10);
console.log(hours + ':' + (minutes < 10 ? '0' + minutes : minutes) + ':' + (seconds < 10 ? '0' + seconds : seconds));
The Following function will help you to get Days , Hours , Minutes , seconds
toDDHHMMSS(inputSeconds){
const Days = Math.floor( inputSeconds / (60 * 60 * 24) );
const Hour = Math.floor((inputSeconds % (60 * 60 * 24)) / (60 * 60));
const Minutes = Math.floor(((inputSeconds % (60 * 60 * 24)) % (60 * 60)) / 60 );
const Seconds = Math.floor(((inputSeconds % (60 * 60 * 24)) % (60 * 60)) % 60 );
let ddhhmmss = '';
if (Days > 0){
ddhhmmss += Days + ' Day ';
}
if (Hour > 0){
ddhhmmss += Hour + ' Hour ';
}
if (Minutes > 0){
ddhhmmss += Minutes + ' Minutes ';
}
if (Seconds > 0){
ddhhmmss += Seconds + ' Seconds ';
}
return ddhhmmss;
}
alert( toDDHHMMSS(2000));
After all this, yet another simple solution:
const time = new Date(null);
time.setSeconds(7530);
console.log(time.getHours(), time.getMinutes(), time.getSeconds());
Another but much more elegant solution for this is as follows:
/**
* Convert number secs to display time
*
* 65 input becomes 01:05.
*
* #param Number inputSeconds Seconds input.
*/
export const toMMSS = inputSeconds => {
const secs = parseInt( inputSeconds, 10 );
let minutes = Math.floor( secs / 60 );
let seconds = secs - minutes * 60;
if ( 10 > minutes ) {
minutes = '0' + minutes;
}
if ( 10 > seconds ) {
seconds = '0' + seconds;
}
// Return display.
return minutes + ':' + seconds;
};
function formatSeconds(s: number) {
let minutes = ~~(s / 60);
let seconds = ~~(s % 60);
return minutes + ':' + seconds;
}
For adding zeros I really don't see the need to have a full other function where you can simply use for example
var mins=Math.floor(StrTime/60);
var secs=StrTime-mins * 60;
var hrs=Math.floor(StrTime / 3600);
RoundTime.innerHTML=(hrs>9?hrs:"0"+hrs) + ":" + (mins>9?mins:"0"+mins) + ":" + (secs>9?secs:"0"+secs);
Its why we have conditional statements in the first place.
(condition?if true:if false) so if example seconds is more than 9 than just show seconds else add a string 0 before it.
var seconds = 60;
var measuredTime = new Date(null);
measuredTime.setSeconds(seconds); // specify value of SECONDS
var Time = measuredTime.toISOString().substr(11, 8);
document.getElementById("id1").value = Time;
<div class="form-group">
<label for="course" class="col-md-4">Time</label>
<div class="col-md-8">
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="id1" name="field">Min
</div>
</div>
Try this:
Converting Second to HOURS, MIN and SEC.
function convertTime(sec) {
var hours = Math.floor(sec/3600);
(hours >= 1) ? sec = sec - (hours*3600) : hours = '00';
var min = Math.floor(sec/60);
(min >= 1) ? sec = sec - (min*60) : min = '00';
(sec < 1) ? sec='00' : void 0;
(min.toString().length == 1) ? min = '0'+min : void 0;
(sec.toString().length == 1) ? sec = '0'+sec : void 0;
return hours+':'+min+':'+sec;
}
1 - Get rest of division using %. Now you have the seconds that don't complete a minute
2 - Subtract the seconds obtained in step 1 from the total. Now you have the minutes
For example, let's assume you have 700 seconds:
seconds = 700%60); //40 seconds
minutes = (700 - (700%60))/60; //11
//11:40
I was thinking of a faster way to get this done and this is what i came up with
var sec = parseInt(time);
var min=0;
while(sec>59){ sec-=60; min++;}
If we want to convert "time" to minutes and seconds, for example:
// time = 75,3 sec
var sec = parseInt(time); //sec = 75
var min=0;
while(sec>59){ sec-=60; min++;} //sec = 15; min = 1
Put my two cents in :
function convertSecondsToMinutesAndSeconds(seconds){
var minutes;
var seconds;
minutes = Math.floor(seconds/60);
seconds = seconds%60;
return [minutes, seconds];
}
So this :
var minutesAndSeconds = convertSecondsToMinutesAndSeconds(101);
Will have the following output :
[1,41];
Then you can print it like so :
console.log('TIME : ' + minutesSeconds[0] + ' minutes, ' + minutesSeconds[1] + ' seconds');
//TIME : 1 minutes, 41 seconds
export function TrainingTime(props) {
const {train_time } = props;
const hours = Math.floor(train_time/3600);
const minutes = Math.floor((train_time-hours * 3600) / 60);
const seconds = Math.floor((train_time%60));
return `${hours} hrs ${minutes} min ${seconds} sec`;
}
Day.js
If you use day.js, try this.
const dayjs = require('dayjs')
const duration = require('dayjs/plugin/duration')
dayjs.extend(duration)
const time = dayjs.duration(100, 'seconds')
time.seconds() // 40
time.minutes() // 1
time.format('mm:ss') // 01:40
I prefer thinking of Millisecond as its own unit, rather than as a subunit of something else. In that sense, it will have values of 0-999, so you're going to want to Pad three instead of two like I have seen with other answers. Here is an implementation:
function format(n) {
let mil_s = String(n % 1000).padStart(3, '0');
n = Math.trunc(n / 1000);
let sec_s = String(n % 60).padStart(2, '0');
n = Math.trunc(n / 60);
return String(n) + ' m ' + sec_s + ' s ' + mil_s + ' ms';
}
console.log(format(241));
https://developer.mozilla.org/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/String/padStart
Here's an ES6 version of the seconds to minutes and seconds conversion, with padding (00:00 format). It only accepts integer values for seconds and ~~(x) is the shorthand floor operation.
const padTime = n => ("" + n).padStart(2, 0);
const secondsToMinSec = time =>
`${padTime(~~(time / 60))}:${padTime(time - ~~(time / 60) * 60)}`
;
for (let i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
const seconds = ~~(Math.random() * 300);
console.log(seconds, secondsToMinSec(seconds));
}
if you need to work with the result easily later this is what I use:
function seconds2hms(seconds, milliseconds) {
if(milliseconds) {
seconds = Math.floor(seconds/1000);
}
return {h:~~(seconds / 3600),m:~~((seconds % 3600) / 60),s:~~seconds % 60}
}
(used Vishal's code)
strftime.js (strftime github) is one of the best time formatting libraries. It's extremely light - 30KB - and effective. Using it you can convert seconds into time easily in one line of code, relying mostly on the native Date class.
When creating a new Date, each optional argument is positional as follows:
new Date(year, month, day, hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds);
So if you initialize a new Date with all arguments as zero up to the seconds, you'll get:
var seconds = 150;
var date = new Date(0,0,0,0,0,seconds);
=> Sun Dec 31 1899 00:02:30 GMT-0500 (EST)
You can see that 150 seconds is 2-minutes and 30-seconds, as seen in the date created. Then using an strftime format ("%M:%S" for "MM:SS"), it will output your minutes' string.
var mm_ss_str = strftime("%M:%S", date);
=> "02:30"
In one line, it would look like:
var mm_ss_str = strftime('%M:%S', new Date(0,0,0,0,0,seconds));
=> "02:30"
Plus this would allow you to interchangeable support HH:MM:SS and MM:SS based on the number of seconds. For example:
# Less than an Hour (seconds < 3600)
var seconds = 2435;
strftime((seconds >= 3600 ? '%H:%M:%S' : '%M:%S'), new Date(0,0,0,0,0,seconds));
=> "40:35"
# More than an Hour (seconds >= 3600)
var seconds = 10050;
strftime((seconds >= 3600 ? '%H:%M:%S' : '%M:%S'), new Date(0,0,0,0,0,seconds));
=> "02:47:30"
And of course, you can simply pass whatever format you want to strftime if you want the time string to be more or less semantic.
var format = 'Honey, you said you\'d be read in %S seconds %M minutes ago!';
strftime(format, new Date(0,0,0,0,0,1210));
=> "Honey, you said you'd be read in 10 seconds 20 minutes ago!"
You've done enough code to track minutes and seconds portions of time.
What you could do is add the hours factor in:
var hrd = time % (60 * 60 * 60);
var hours = Math.floor(hrd / 60);
var mind = hrd % 60;
var minutes = Math.floor(mind / 60);
var secd = mind % 60;
var seconds = Math.ceil(secd);
var moreminutes = minutes + hours * 60
