Python program to find difference between current time and given time

When it is required to find the difference between the current time and a given time, a method can be defined, that takes the hours, minutes, and seconds as parameter. It then calculates the difference between two given times.

Below is a demonstration of the same −

Example

 Live Demo

def difference_time(h_1, m_1, h_2, m_2):

   t_1 = h_1 * 60 + m_1
   t_2 = h_2 * 60 + m_2

   if (t_1 == t_2):
      print("The times are the same")
      return
   else:
      diff = t_2-t_1

   hours = (int(diff / 60)) % 24

   mins = diff % 60

   print(hours, ":", mins)

if __name__ == "__main__":
   print("The difference between times are given below :")
   difference_time(13,20,11, 49)
   difference_time(17, 11, 9, 59)
   difference_time(21, 4, 11, 34)

Output

The difference between times are given below :
23 : 29
17 : 48
15 : 30

Explanation

  • A method named difference_time is defined that takes three parameters.

  • The times are converted into minutes.

  • When the timings are different, they are subtracted, and the hours and the minutes are displayed as output.

  • In the main method, this method is called by passing different parameter.

  • The output is displayed on the console.
