Question

Write a program in Java programming language that given two clock times prints out the absolute number of minutes between them

Answer 1

Answer:

// Java Program to Find the difference

// between Two Time Periods

// Importing the Date Class from the util package

import java.util.*;

// Importing the SimpleDateFormat

// Class from the text package

import java.text.*;

public class GFG {

public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception

{

 // Dates to be parsed

 String time1 = "18:00:00";

 String time2 = "7:30:50";

 // Creating a SimpleDateFormat object

 // to parse time in the format HH:MM:SS

 SimpleDateFormat simpleDateFormat

  = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");

 // Parsing the Time Period

 Date date1 = simpleDateFormat.parse(time1);

 Date date2 = simpleDateFormat.parse(time2);

 // Calculating the difference in milliseconds

 long differenceInMilliSeconds

  = Math.abs(date2.getTime() - date1.getTime());

 // Calculating the difference in Hours

 long differenceInHours

  = (differenceInMilliSeconds / (60 * 60 * 1000))

  % 24;

 // Calculating the difference in Minutes

 long differenceInMinutes

  = (differenceInMilliSeconds / (60 * 1000)) % 60;

 // Calculating the difference in Seconds

 long differenceInSeconds

  = (differenceInMilliSeconds / 1000) % 60;

 // Printing the answer

 System.out.println(

  "Difference is " + differenceInHours + " hours "

  + differenceInMinutes + " minutes "

  + differenceInSeconds + " Seconds. ");

}

}
