Python program to find difference between current time and given time
Given two times h1:m1 and h2:m2 denoting hours and minutes in 24 hours clock format. The current clock time is given by h1:m1. The task is to calculate the difference between two times in minutes and print the difference between two times in h:m format.
Examples:
Input : h1=7, m1=20, h2=9, m2=45
Output : 2 : 25
The current time is 7 : 20 and given time is 9 : 45.
The difference between them is 145 minutes.
The result is 2 : 25 after converting to h : m format.Input : h1=15, m1=23, h2=18, m2=54
Output : 3 : 31
The current time is 15 : 23 and given time is 18 : 54.
The difference between them is 211 minutes.
The result is 3 : 31 after converting to h : m format.Input : h1=16, m1=20, h2=16, m2=20
Output : Both times are same
The current time is 16 : 20 and given time is also 16 : 20.
The difference between them is 0 minutes.
As the difference is 0, we are printing “Both are same times”.
Approach:
- convert both the times into minutes
- find the difference in minutes
- if difference is 0, print “Both are same times”
- else convert difference into h : m format and print
Below is the implementation.
# Python program to find the# difference between two times # function to obtain the time# in minutes formdef difference(h1, m1, h2, m2): # convert h1 : m1 into # minutes t1 = h1 * 60 + m1 # convert h2 : m2 into # minutes t2 = h2 * 60 + m2 if (t1 == t2): print("Both are same times") return else: # calculating the difference diff = t2-t1 # calculating hours from # difference h = (int(diff / 60)) % 24 # calculating minutes from # difference m = diff % 60 print(h, ":", m) # Driver's codeif __name__ == "__main__": difference(7, 20, 9, 45) difference(15, 23, 18, 54) difference(16, 20, 16, 20) # This code is contributed by SrujayReddy |
Output:
2 : 25 3 : 31 Both are same times
