1. Time conversion...

Heya all!
I wonder, is there a better way to do this function? I mean, it
seems
to have so much unnecessary stuff, but it gets the job done...
Any advice?
TIA,
--"LEVIATHAN"
function secs_to_mins(integer secs)
atom conv
atom conv2
sequence final
object crap
object crap2
object crap3
conv = secs / 60
--conv3 = conv
crap = sprintf("%3.5f", conv)
crap2 = match(".", crap)
crap3 = crap[crap2..length(crap)]
crap3 = value(crap3)
crap3 = crap3[2]
conv = conv - crap3
crap = crap[crap2+1..length(crap)]
crap = value(crap)
crap = crap[2]
conv2 = crap * 60
conv2 = conv2
final = sprintf("%d", conv) & ":" &
sprintf("%2d", conv2)
crap = length(final)
crap = crap - 5
final = final[1..crap]
return final
end function

Hello,
The code looks very convoluted. Couldn't you just use something like this or
am I missing something?
function secs_to_mins(integer secs)
integer minutes
minutes=floor(secs/60)
return sprintf("%d:%02d",{minutes,floor(secs-minutes*60)})
end function
Would that suffice?

Hi, Vince.
I don't think you're missing a thing. Nice, tight function.
regards,
Jim

Al was right, not tight enough:
function secs_to_mins(integer sex)
return sprintf("%d:%02d", {floor(sex/60),remainder(sex,60)})
end function

Whoa, wow, okay... I'm very impressed :)
Clearly the tightest fuction here was Jiris secs2mins function, blew
my
mind away when I saw that all the fuctions that did it came out to do
all
the same thing :) And look what it took me! Too many lines of code!
Whee!
Anyway, thanx everyone for contributing, can we stick this into the
EuSLP? (Eu Standard Libraries Project?)
Thanx all,
