Understanding Time Duration Calculations
How Time Calculation Works
Time duration calculation involves converting times to a common format (24-hour), creating datetime objects, and finding the difference in milliseconds, then converting to desired time units.
Common Use Cases
- •Calculating work hours and overtime
- •Planning meeting durations
- •Time tracking and productivity analysis
- •Travel time estimation
Calculation Steps
Step 1: Normalize Format
Convert both times to 24-hour format for consistent calculation.
Step 2: Handle Overnight
If end time is before start time, automatically add one day to end time.
Step 3: Calculate Difference
Find millisecond difference and convert to minutes, hours, etc.
Example: 3 PM to 9 PM
Calculation Steps
- Start: 3:00 PM → 15:00 (24-hour)
- End: 9:00 PM → 21:00 (24-hour)
- Difference: 21:00 - 15:00 = 6 hours
- Convert: 6 hours × 60 = 360 minutes
Result
- Total Minutes: 360
- Total Hours: 6.0
- Total Seconds: 21,600
- Format: 6 hours, 0 minutes
