Convert milliseconds to time python

Python Program to Convert Milliseconds to Minutes and Seconds

In Python, we have a built-in function int(), timedelta(), and divmod() that can be used to get the number in the form integer and is useful for converting Miliseconds to Minutes and seconds. The milliseconds are defined by the short duration of time. The milliseconds are equal to one-thousandth of the second. When 5000 milliseconds convert into minutes the result value is 0.08 minutes and 5 seconds. For example- The photographer clicks the picture and saves it in a gallery which takes some seconds that time is preferred to be milliseconds.

Syntax

The int() function accepts the parameter to convert the value into an integer.

This is an in-built method in Python that specifies the time duration between two times.

This is an in-built method in Python that returns a tuple containing the quotient and the remainder when parameter1 (dividend) is divided by parameter2 i.e. 1000.

Example 1

In the following example, we will start the program by storing the value of milliseconds in the variable ‘m_sec’. Then store the variable ‘m_sec’ divided by 1000 in the variable sec to find the value of the second. Next, divide the variable ‘sec’ by 60 to get the value of minute with the help of variable min. Moving ahead to find the remaining second by using the mod(%) operator in the variable ‘rem_sec’. Finally, print the result with the help of the variable ‘m_sec’, ‘min’, and ‘sec’.

m_sec = 2000000 sec = m_sec // 1000 min = sec // 60 rem_sec = sec % 60 print(f" milliseconds convert to minutes and seconds")

Output

2000000 milliseconds convert to 33 minutes and 2000 seconds

Example 2

In the following example, we will start the program by storing the value of milliseconds in the variable named ‘mill_sec’. Then divide the mill_sec / 1000 to find the total number of seconds and store it in the variable ‘total_sec’. Next, we set the input function in the variables ‘min’ and ‘sec’ to get the value in integers. Finally, print the result with the help of the ‘mill_sec’, ‘sec’, and ‘min’.

mill_sec = 175060 total_sec = mill_sec / 1000 min = int(total_sec // 60) sec = int(total_sec % 60) print(f"The milliseconds convert to minutes and seconds ")

Output

The 175060 milliseconds convert to 2 minutes and 55 seconds

Example 3

In the following example, the timedelta method from the datetime module is used in this program to construct a timedelta object that represents the requested number of milliseconds. The seconds attribute on the timedelta object returns the total number of seconds that the object is used to represent. The number of minutes and seconds represented by the total number of seconds is then determined by using integer division (//) and the modulo operator (%).

from datetime import timedelta def ans(milliseconds): t = timedelta(milliseconds=milliseconds) minutes = t.seconds // 60 seconds = t.seconds % 60 return minutes, seconds milliseconds = 900000 minutes, seconds = ans(milliseconds) print(f" milliseconds is equal to minutes and seconds")

Output

900000 milliseconds is equal to 15 minutes and 0 seconds

Example 4

In the following example use the divmod function to perform integer division while also calculating the remainder. The divmod function returns a tuple containing the remainder and the result of integer division. The program initially calculates the number of seconds and remaining milliseconds from the input milliseconds using divmod. It then applies divmod to the determined number of seconds to calculate the number of minutes and remaining seconds.

def mil_convert(milliseconds): seconds, milliseconds = divmod(milliseconds, 1000) minutes, seconds = divmod(seconds, 60) return minutes, seconds milliseconds = 100000 minutes, seconds = mil_convert(milliseconds) print(f" milliseconds is equal to minutes and seconds")

Output

100000 milliseconds is equal to 1 minutes and 40 seconds

Conclusion

We saw the logic building of converting the millisecond into minutes and seconds in both examples. There is a similarity of logic in all examples but in example 2, we used the int() function to get the value of minutes and second in integers.

Convert Milliseconds into datetime in Python (Example)

In this article, I’ll show how to create a datetime object from milliseconds in Python programming.

The article contains the following content:

Example Data & Add-On Libraries

To be able to use the functions of the datetime module, we first have to import datetime:

import datetime # Load datetime

The following data will be used as a basis for this Python tutorial:

my_ms = 464556556485 # Example milliseconds object print(my_ms) # Print example data # 464556556485

The previous Python console output shows that our exemplifying data object contains a certain number of milliseconds.

Example: Create datetime Object from Milliseconds Using fromtimestamp() Function

This example demonstrates how to transform milliseconds to a date and time object.

For this task, we can apply the fromtimestamp function as shown below:

my_datetime = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(my_ms / 1000) # Apply fromtimestamp function print(my_datetime) # Print datetime object # 1984-09-20 21:29:16.485000

As you can see based on the previous output, we have constructed a new datetime object called my_datetime from our milliseconds object.

How to Convert Epoch to Datetime in Python

Converting epoch time to datetime is a common task in Python. In this tutorial, we will learn how to perform this conversion in different scenarios. This tutorial is comprehensive and covers Python epoch time, converting epoch to datetime with timezone, and converting epoch milliseconds to datetime in Python.

What is Epoch Time in Python

Epoch time, also known as UNIX time, is a system for tracking time that represents the number of seconds that have elapsed since 00:00:00 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) on Thursday, 1 January 1970, excluding leap seconds. It is widely used in computer systems for recording time.

In Python, you can obtain the current epoch time using the time module:

import time epoch_time = time.time() print(f"Current epoch time: ") 

Basic Conversion from Epoch to Datetime in Python

To convert epoch time to datetime in Python, we can use the datetime module. This module has a method called fromtimestamp() which takes an epoch timestamp as input and returns a datetime object.

Example: Convert Epoch to Datetime

import time from datetime import datetime # Getting current epoch time epoch_time = time.time() # Converting epoch time to datetime datetime_object = datetime.fromtimestamp(epoch_time) print(f"Epoch time: ") print(f"Datetime: ") 

You can see the output in the screenshot below:

Python Convert Epoch to Datetime with Timezone

When converting epoch time to datetime, you may also need to consider time zones. Python’s datetime module supports time zones through the pytz library. To convert epoch time to datetime with timezone, you can use the fromtimestamp() method of the datetime module, with the tz parameter.

Example: Convert Epoch to Datetime in a Specific Timezone

import time from datetime import datetime import pytz # Getting current epoch time epoch_time = time.time() # Define a timezone timezone = pytz.timezone('US/Eastern') # Convert epoch to datetime with timezone datetime_with_timezone = datetime.fromtimestamp(epoch_time, tz=timezone) print(f"Epoch time: ") print(f"Datetime with timezone: ") 

You can see the screenshot below:

Convert Epoch Milliseconds to Datetime in Python

Sometimes, the epoch time might be given in milliseconds instead of seconds. Since fromtimestamp() expects the epoch time in seconds, you will need to convert milliseconds to seconds before converting it to datetime in Python.

Example: Convert Epoch in Milliseconds to Datetime

from datetime import datetime # Epoch time in milliseconds epoch_milliseconds = 1627939200000 # Convert milliseconds to seconds epoch_seconds = epoch_milliseconds / 1000.0 # Convert epoch time to datetime datetime_object = datetime.fromtimestamp(epoch_seconds) print(f"Epoch time in milliseconds: ") print(f"Datetime: ")

Conclusion

This tutorial has provided you with comprehensive knowledge on how to convert epoch time to datetime in Python. We covered how to perform basic conversions using the fromtimestamp() method of the datetime module, and also delved into converting epoch time with timezones and converting epoch milliseconds to datetime.
