What is the use of SumTime?

• Adds time strings
• can convert/add time strings from a wide variety of input options
• Flexible time additions and assignment
• Convert to datetime.timedelta object
• A handy tool for quick time calculations!

Import class from file

from ArithTime import SumTime as st

declare SumTime object

# declaring st("1hrs 20mins") is equivalent to st("1 20")
s1 = st("1hrs 20mins")

s_blank = st()
s_blank_2 = st('')

print(s_blank.get_hrs(), s_blank.get_minutes(), s_blank.get_secs(), "s_blank =>", s_blank)
print(s_blank_2.get_hrs(), s_blank_2.get_minutes(), s_blank_2.get_secs(), "s_blank_2 =>",s_blank_2)

0 0 0 s_blank => 
0 0 0 s_blank_2 => 

Addition with valid time strings

[time_value][flag]<separator>[time_value][flag]

- time_value = \d or any Integer
- flag = hrs | mins | secs
- <separator> = not compulsory, can be any character.

# perform addition of time strings
s1 = st("1 00")
print(s1)
s1 += ["20mins" ,"1hrs 10mins" , "50mins"] + ["10mins" , "0hrs-60secs" , "10mins"]
print(s1)

s_mins = st("1hrs 10mins")
print(s_mins, 'repr=>',repr(s_mins))

1hrs
3hrs 41mins
1hrs 10mins repr=> SumTime('1 10 0')

convert to datetime.timedelta object

td = s1.to_timedelta()
print(type(td))
print(td.seconds)

<class 'datetime.timedelta'>
13260

Addition on SumTime object

Other than adding 2 SumTime objects adding strings with SumTime object is also possible (as shown above)

Possible operations all together!

s2 = st("0 59")  # 0hrs 59 minutes (read definition in init to know more possible input types)

# perform SumTime object addition
print(f"s1={s1}")
s3 = s1 + s2
print(f"s3={s3}\n")

# get individual time flags
print(16*'---')
print("Printing hrs, mins, secs individually:")
print(s3.get_hrs(), 'hrs')
print(s3.get_minutes(), 'mins')
print(s3.get_secs(), 'secs')

# print SumTime object
print("s3 as a whole =>",s3)
print(16*'---')


#store in string format
s3_str_fmt = str(s3)
print("store in string format:", type(s3_str_fmt), s3_str_fmt,'\n\n')

# format conversions
sum_time_obj = st.to_sumtime(str(s3), return_type='obj')  # return as SumTime object
time_list = st.to_sumtime(str(s3), return_type='list')  # return list[hrs, mins, secs]
time_string = st.to_sumtime(str(s3), return_type='str')  # return as str format, (this can be use to create a new instance of class)

print(f"object:{sum_time_obj}\nlist_return:{time_list}\nstring_return:{time_string}\n{16*'---'}")

new_inst = st(time_string)
print("New instance:",repr(new_inst))

print("SumTime object:", type(sum_time_obj), sum_time_obj)

s1=3hrs 41mins
s3=4hrs 40mins

------------------------------------------------
Printing hrs, mins, secs individually:
4 hrs
40 mins
0 secs
s3 as a whole => 4hrs 40mins
------------------------------------------------
store in string format: <class 'str'> 4hrs 40mins 


object:4hrs 40mins
list_return:[4, 40, None]
string_return:4 40 0
------------------------------------------------
New instance: SumTime('4 40 0')
SumTime object: <class 'ArithTime.SumTime'> 4hrs 40mins
