Python Program to Find the Difference between two Times.
Python program to find the difference between two times.
0. Import datetime module.
We'll use datetime.strptime ( ) function to create time objects. Then we'll calculate the difference between them. Also, we'll use datetime.strftime ( ) function to convert time object to string of required format.
from datetime import datetime
1. init ( ) - Get two times.
class TimeDifference:
''' Calculate difference between two times '''
def __init__(self, time1, time2):
self.time1 = time1
self.time2 = time2
self.diff = None
2. get_difference ( ) - Find the difference between two times.
def get_difference(self):
''' Get the difference between two times '''
self.diff = abs(self.time1 - self.time2)
t1 = self.time1.strftime('%H:%M:%S')
t2 = self.time2.strftime('%H:%M:%S')
print(f'Difference between {t1} and {t2} is {self.diff.seconds} seconds')
3. main ( ) - Driver code to test the program.
def main():
''' Take two dates and find the difference between them '''
time_format = '%H:%M:%S'
time1 = datetime.strptime('12:45:01', time_format)
time2 = datetime.strptime('11:30:00', time_format)
time_diff = TimeDifference(time1, time2)
time_diff.get_difference()
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
