How can I convert a string from hhmmss to hours in double?

string
“002000”

expected result
0.333333333333333

string
“010000"

expected result
1

It’s Kotlin

[Francesc]

val result = "01:02:03".split(":").let {
        val hours = it[0]
        val minutes = it[1]
        val seconds = it[2]
        hours.toFloat() + minutes.toFloat() / 60f + seconds.toFloat() / 3600f
    }

and viceversa maybe @Francesc btw you know how to go from double to string with this format “hhmmss”

[Francesc]

that's easier, hours.toString().padStart(2, '0') + ":" + minutes.toString().padStart(2, '0') + ":" + seconds.toString().padStart(2, '0')

[Francesc]

that's for integers, just round your double to an integer

[Francesc]

that leaves the part from double to 3 sections

[Milo]

for example if I have the value 1 I would like to convert it to the string “010000”.
for example if I have the value 0.333333333333333 I would like to convert it to the string “002000".

I'll help you out on this one, but you need to bang your head and solve these on your own

val value = 2.3416667
    val hours = value.toInt()
    val minutes = ((value - hours) * 60.0).toInt()
    val seconds = ((value - hours - minutes / 60.0) * 3600.0).toInt()
    println(hours.toString().padStart(2, '0') + ":" + minutes.toString().padStart(2, '0') + ":" + seconds.toString().padStart(2, '0'))
