Time conversion - Luis- - 13.03.2013

Hey, i've made a little function for an RP server i've developing, which converts minutes into days, hours & minutes. My problem is that when the minute mark reaches 60+ with the convert minute function, it just carries on, I was wondering if I could stop that and reset it to 0 without disrupting the days & hours process.

Sorry, if that was hard to understand.

Код:

stock ConvertTime(time) {
	new String[300];

	new day = time / 1440;
	new hour = time / 60;
	new minute = time;

	format(String, sizeof String, "{FF0000}%d {FFFFFF}days, {FF0000}%d {FFFFFF}hours and {FF0000}%d {FFFFFF}minutes", day, hour, minute);
    return String;
}

I'm not sure. My Div Function is good, use it. It will return you how many times is b in a, without decimal places.

pawn Код:

stock Div(a,b)
{
    new count = 0;
    if(a < b) return 0;
    while((count*b) < a)
    {
        count++;
    }
    count--;
    return count;
}

stock ConvertTime(time)
{
    new String[300];

    new day = Div(time,24*60);
    new hour = Div(time-(24*60*days),60);
    new minute = time - (days*60*24)-(hour*60);

    format(String, sizeof String, "{FF0000}%d {FFFFFF}days, {FF0000}%d {FFFFFF}hours and {FF0000}%d {FFFFFF}minutes", day, hour, minute);
    return String;
}

Is it accurate though? I've gone from having this 0 days, 1 hour & 83 minutes to 0 days, 1 hours & 32 minutes

Which value you give in start? Take example value and then just track code and fix it. Mine is untested.

That is pretty much what the modulus operator does, which is native in Pawn. It returns the remainder of the division.

pawn Код:

new temp = time % (24 * 60);
new days = (time - temp) / (24 * 60);
new minutes = temp % 60;
new hours = (temp - minutes) / 60;

Say, 2000 minutes:

Код:

time 2000
temp = 2000 % 1440 = 560
days = (2000 - 560) / (24 * 60) = 1440 / 1440 = 1
minutes = 560 % 60 =  20
hours = (560 - 20) / 60 = 540 / 60 = 9

1 day, 9 hours, 20 minutes.

Do not change the order of the variables. That's important.

Re: Time conversion - Luis- - 13.03.2013

Right, so 143 minutes would equal 0 days, 2 hours & 23 minutes right? Sorry, I actually don't understand all this, gonna have to learn.

Re: Time conversion - Vince - 13.03.2013

If you did those long divisions (or whatever you call them) far back in primary school then you should know what a remainder is.

Basically, if I was to divide 8 by 3 I would get a remainder of 2, because the highest whole number that can be divided by 3 is 6. (and 6 + 2 = 8)
