Welcome! In this lesson, we will explore the practical applications of string operations and type conversions using Kotlin. These concepts are essential and are utilized in numerous programming scenarios. We'll focus on a real-world example: time parsing. Have you ever wondered how to add a certain number of seconds to a specific time? By the end of today's session, you'll have the ability to calculate this using Kotlin. Let's get started!
Imagine this: You receive a time formatted as a string in HH:MM:SS
, where HH
, MM
, and SS
denote the hour, minute, and second, respectively. You are also given an integer representing a certain number of seconds. Your task is to calculate the new time after adding the provided seconds, then output the result in the HH:MM:SS
format.
For example, if the input time is 05:10:30
and the number of seconds to add is 123
, the output should be 05:12:33
since 123
seconds translate to 2
minutes and seconds.
