Welcome! In today's lesson, we will explore the practical application of string operations and type conversions in Python. These concepts are crucial and are deployed in many programming spheres. We'll examine a real-world example: time parsing. Have you ever pondered how to add a certain number of seconds to some specific time? By the end of today's session, you'll be equipped to calculate this using Python. 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 number of seconds. Your task is to calculate the new time after adding the provided seconds and 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 3
seconds.
