What is the cleanest way to translate 42010958 Milliseconds to Hours:Minutes:Seconds in Qt?


The QTime Class offers me a bit of a pickle insofar as it does not allow me to set milliseconds above certain values, thus making an entry like this invalid.:

    QTime time;
    time.setHMS(0,0,0,42010958); // I normally use a variable

Considering that the range of milliseconds I'm dealing with is between about 1000 and 1000000000, I'm not terribly keen on writing a tremendous amount of of integer conversion code to sanitise each entry, but I will do what I have to do.

What is the cleanest way to convert 42010958 Milliseconds into Hours:Minutes:Seconds in Qt?


Solution

  • "Cleanest" is a matter of taste, but here's how I would do it:

    int milliseconds = 42010958;
    int seconds      = milliseconds / 1000;
    milliseconds     = milliseconds % 1000;
    int minutes      = seconds / 60; 
    seconds          = seconds % 60;
    int hours        = minutes / 60;
    minutes          = minutes % 60;
    
    QTime time;
    time.setHMS(hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds);
