How to convert time in seconds to standard time format in rails?

Question

Hi,

How can convert time in seconds to standard time format in rails.For example 1971 seconds should be displayed as 0:33:25

Answer 1

There is no helper to that for you in rails. But it's quite easy to write your own:

def to_dot_time(s)
  h = s / 3600
  s -= h * 3600

  m = s / 60
  s -= m * 60

  [h, m, s].join(":")
end

And an example:

>> to_dot_time(1971)
=> "0:32:51"
