Difference between two times
|
I've made a stopwatch of sorts which works, but seems a horribly convoluted way of doing it.
Glancing at the current alias below, is there a simple function I'm missing?
there are variables time1 and time2 that hold values taken using the %secs command, then timeDiff that does the following:
| Code: |
#VARIABLE timeDiff {%abs( %eval( @time2 - @time1))} "Utils|timeDiff"
#IF (%round( %eval( %left( @timeDiff, %len( @timeDiff)-3)/60)) = 0) {#SAY %eval( %left( @timeDiff, %len( @timeDiff)-3) - %eval( 60*%round( %eval( %left( @timeDiff, %len( @timeDiff)-3)/60)))).%eval( %rightback( @timeDiff, 3)/100) seconds} {#SAY %round( %eval( %left( @timeDiff, %len( @timeDiff)-3)/60)) minutes, %eval( %left( @timeDiff, %len( @timeDiff)-3) - %eval( 60*%round( %eval( %left( @timeDiff, %len( @timeDiff)-3)/60)))).%eval( %rightback( @timeDiff, 3)/100) seconds} |
basically it snips the last 3 digits off the timediff and uses those for the milliseconds (rounding them to hundredths), then it splits the seconds into minutes and seconds and displays output either
'x.y seconds' (if there are 0 minutes) or 'z minutes, x.y seconds'
Not especially important, just thinking I've missed something.

how about including a test feature to make sure it is working?

to be for sure there is a shorter way, but why mess with what works.
%format and %time could probably do wonders for it. |
