In Java, we can use the built-in methods:
toMinutes()- to convert milliseconds to minutestoSeconds()- to convert milliseconds to seconds
Example 1: Milliseconds to Seconds/Minutes Using toMinutes() and toSeconds()
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
long milliseconds = 1000000;
// us of toSeconds()
// to convert milliseconds to minutes
long seconds = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toSeconds(milliseconds);
System.out.println(milliseconds + " Milliseconds = " + seconds + " Seconds");
// use of toMinutes()
// to convert milliseconds to minutes
long minutes = TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS.toMinutes(milliseconds);
System.out.println(milliseconds + " Milliseconds = " + minutes + " Minutes");
}
}
Output
1000000 Milliseconds = 1000 Seconds Or 1000000 Milliseconds = 16 Minutes
In the above program, we have used the long datatype to store milliseconds, minutes, and seconds values. It is because the toMinutes() and toSeconds() methods return values in long.
Note: To use the methods, we must import the java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit package.
We can also use the basic mathematical formulas to convert milliseconds to minutes and seconds.
// convert milliseconds to seconds Seconds = milliseconds / 1000 // convert seconds to minutes minutes = seconds / 60 // convert millisecons to minutes minutes = (milliseconds / 1000) / 60
Example 2: Milliseconds to Seconds/Minutes Using Mathematical Formula
class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
long milliseconds = 1000000;
long seconds = (milliseconds / 1000);
System.out.println(milliseconds + " Milliseconds = " + seconds + " Seconds");
long minutes = (milliseconds / 1000) / 60;
System.out.println(milliseconds + " Milliseconds = " + minutes + " Minutes");
}
}
Output
1000000 Milliseconds = 1000 Seconds 1000000 Milliseconds = 16 Minutes
In the above program, we have
- converted milliseconds to seconds by dividing it by 1000
- converted to minutes by dividing the seconds by 60
