Convert Seconds Integer To HH:MM, iPhone

Question

I am struggling with this. I have a value in seconds that I want to display in a label in HH:MM format. I have searched the internet for ages and found some answers, but either not fully understood them, or they seem like an odd way of doing what I want. If someone could help me out on this one that would be great! Bear in mind that I am new to this games so this question may seem like a really basic one to the more experienced out there.

Answer 1

I was looking for the same thing that you are looking but couldn't find one. So I wrote one -

- (NSString *)timeFormatted:(int)totalSeconds
{

    int seconds = totalSeconds % 60; 
    int minutes = (totalSeconds / 60) % 60; 
    int hours = totalSeconds / 3600; 

    return [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%02d:%02d:%02d",hours, minutes, seconds]; 
}

works perfectly in Swift as well:

 func timeFormatted(totalSeconds: Int) -> String {
    let seconds: Int = totalSeconds % 60
    let minutes: Int = (totalSeconds / 60) % 60
    let hours: Int = totalSeconds / 3600
    return String(format: "%02d:%02d:%02d", hours, minutes, seconds)
 }
