Convert seconds to compound duration

From Rosetta Code
Revision as of 04:45, 20 June 2015 by rosettacode>Aspectcl (Tcl implementation added)
Convert seconds to compound duration is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.

Write a function or program which

  • takes a positive integer representing a duration in seconds as input (e.g. 100), and
  • returns a string which shows the same duration decomposed into weeks, days, hours, minutes, and seconds as detailed below (e.g. "1 min, 40 sec").

Demonstrate that it passes the following three test-cases:

Test Cases

input number output string
7259 2 hr, 59 sec
86400 1 d
6000000 9 wk, 6 d, 10 hr, 40 min

Details

  • The following five units should be used:
    unit suffix used in output conversion
    week wk 1 week = 7 days
    day d 1 day = 24 hours
    hour hr 1 hour = 60 minutes
    minute min 1 minutes = 60 seconds
    second sec
  • However, only include quantities with non-zero values in the output (e.g. return "1 d" and not "0 wk, 1 d, 0 hr, 0 min, 0 sec").
  • Give larger units precedence over smaller ones as much as possible (e.g. return 2 min, 10 sec and not 1 min, 70 sec or 130 sec)
  • Mimic the formatting shown in the test-cases (quantities sorted from largest unit to smallest and separated by comma+space; value and unit of each quantity separated by space).

Output:
7259 sec = 2 hr, 59 sec
86400 sec = 1 d
6000000 sec = 9 wk, 6 d, 10 hr, 40 min

J

Implementation:

<lang J>fmtsecs=:3 :0

 seq=. 0 7 24 60 60 #: y
 }: ;: inv,(0~:seq)#(8!:0 seq),. <;.2'wk,d,hr,min,sec,'

)</lang>

Task examples:

<lang J> fmtsecs 7259 2 hr, 59 sec

  fmtsecs 86400

1 d

  fmtsecs 6000000

9 wk, 6 d, 10 hr, 40 min</lang>

jq

Works with: jq version 1.4

<lang jq>def seconds_to_time_string:

 def nonzero(text): floor | if . > 0 then "\(.) \(text)" else empty end;
 if . == 0 then "0 sec"
 else
 [(./60/60/24/7    | nonzero("wk")),
  (./60/60/24 % 7  | nonzero("d")),
  (./60/60    % 24 | nonzero("hr")),
  (./60       % 60 | nonzero("min")),
  (.          % 60 | nonzero("sec"))]
 | join(", ")
 end;</lang>

Examples': <lang jq>0, 7259, 86400, 6000000 | "\(.): \(seconds_to_time_string)"</lang>

Output:

<lang sh>$ jq -r -n -f Convert_seconds_to_compound_duration.jq 0: 0 sec 7259: 2 hr, 59 sec 86400: 1 d 6000000: 9 wk, 6 d, 10 hr, 40 min</lang>

Perl

<lang perl>sub compound_duration {

   my $sec = shift;
   no warnings 'numeric';
   
   return join ', ', grep { $_ > 0 }
       int($sec/60/60/24/7)    . " wk",
       int($sec/60/60/24) % 7  . " d",
       int($sec/60/60)    % 24 . " hr",
       int($sec/60)       % 60 . " min",
       int($sec)          % 60 . " sec";

}</lang>

Demonstration: <lang perl>for (7259, 86400, 6000000) {

   printf "%7d sec  =  %s\n", $_, compound_duration($_)

}</lang>

Output:
   7259 sec  =  2 hr, 59 sec
  86400 sec  =  1 d
6000000 sec  =  9 wk, 6 d, 10 hr, 40 min

Perl 6

The built-in polymod method (which is a generalization of the divmod function known from other languages), is a perfect match for a task like this:

<lang perl6>sub compound-duration ($seconds) {

   ($seconds.polymod(60, 60, 24, 7) Z <sec min hr d wk>)\
   .grep(*[0]).reverse.join(", ")

}</lang>

Demonstration: <lang perl6>for 7259, 86400, 6000000 {

   say "{.fmt: '%7d'} sec  =  {compound-duration $_}";

}</lang>

Output:
   7259 sec  =  2 hr, 59 sec
  86400 sec  =  1 d
6000000 sec  =  9 wk, 6 d, 10 hr, 40 min

Python

Python: Procedural

<lang python>>>> def duration(seconds): t= [] for dm in (60, 60, 24, 7): seconds, m = divmod(seconds, dm) t.append(m) t.append(seconds) return ', '.join('%d %s' % (num, unit) for num, unit in zip(t[::-1], 'wk d hr min sec'.split()) if num)

>>> for seconds in [7259, 86400, 6000000]: print("%7d sec = %s" % (seconds, duration(seconds)))


  7259 sec = 2 hr, 59 sec
 86400 sec = 1 d

6000000 sec = 9 wk, 6 d, 10 hr, 40 min >>> </lang>

Python: Functional

<lang python>>>> def duration(seconds, _maxweeks=99999999999):

   return ', '.join('%d %s' % (num, unit)

for num, unit in zip([(seconds // d) % m for d, m in ((604800, _maxweeks),

                                                       (86400, 7), (3600, 24), 
                                                       (60, 60), (1, 60))],

['wk', 'd', 'hr', 'min', 'sec']) if num)

>>> for seconds in [7259, 86400, 6000000]: print("%7d sec = %s" % (seconds, duration(seconds)))


  7259 sec = 2 hr, 59 sec
 86400 sec = 1 d

6000000 sec = 9 wk, 6 d, 10 hr, 40 min >>> </lang>

Tcl

The data-driven procedure below can be customised to use different breakpoints, simply by editing the dictionary.

<lang Tcl>proc sec2str {i} {

   set factors {
       sec 60
       min 60
       hr  24
       d   7
       wk  Inf
   }
   set result ""
   foreach {label max} $factors {
       if {$i >= $max} {
           set r [expr {$i % $max}]
           set i [expr {$i / $max}]
           if {$r} {
               lappend result "$r $label"
           }
       } else {
           if {$i > 0} {
               lappend result "$i $label"
           }
           break
       }
   }
   join [lreverse $result] ", "

}

proc check {cmd res} {

   set r [uplevel 1 $cmd]
   if {$r eq $res} {
       puts "Ok! $cmd \t = $res"
   } else {
       puts "ERROR: $cmd = $r \t expected $res"
   }

}

check {sec2str 7259} {2 hr, 59 sec} check {sec2str 86400} {1 d} check {sec2str 6000000} {9 wk, 6 d, 10 hr, 40 min}</lang>

Output:
