hms2hr, hms2sec

Convert time units from hms format to hours or seconds

Syntax

• timeout = hms2hr(timein)
  timeout = hms2sec(timein)
  

Description

timeout = hms2hr(timein) converts times input in hours-minutes-seconds (hms) format to the equivalent measure in decimal hours.

timeout = hms2sec(timein) converts times input in hours-minutes-seconds (hms) format to the equivalent measure in seconds.

Remarks

The inputs can be in hours-minutes (hm) format, since numerically they look like hms format in which seconds are always zero.

Example

• hms2hr(1230)
  ans =
     12.5000
  hms2sec(100.10)
  ans =
          3610
