Question

I have an string array that includes some minutes like “00:05”, “00:30”, “00:25” etc. I want to sum the values as time format? Can anyone help me how do I do this?

Answer 1

Total time in minutes:

int sum = 0;
final String[] mins = new String[] { "00:05", "00:30", "00:25" };
for (String str : mins) {
    String[] parts = str.split(":");
    sum += Integer.parseInt(parts[1]);
}
System.out.println(sum);

You don’t specify exactly how you want this output formatted.

If there may be hour elements as well, then replace the second line of the loop with this:

sum += (Integer.parseInt(parts[0]) * 60) + Integer.parseInt(parts[1]);
