Question

i have a file which states duration for a particular event in format MMMMMMSS.Does any one know what kind of format is this for time duration and how to convert it into seconds.I’m using C# language

Answer 1

If the format is really M...MSS (supplied as an integer value), converting it to seconds is quite easy:

var seconds = (value / 100) * 60 + (value % 100);

Why does it work?

• value / 100 removes the last two digits (integer division), thus returning MMMMMM, and
• value % 100 returns the last two digits (modulo), i.e., SS.
• The remainder of the formula is MMMMMM * 60 + SS, which should be pretty self-explanatory.
