How to transform milliseconds into seconds .?

Question

I have to transform my Stopwatch "Variable" into seconds ?

Stopwatch czasAlg = new Stopwatch(); 
czasAlg.Start();
//Do semothing
czasAlg.Stop();
Decimal Tn = czasAlg.ElapsedMilliseconds/(decimal)n;

Seriously.. you don't know how to transform milliseconds into seconds? :o – Emmy

But... why go through the extra step? :-) – Centrality

Answer 1

Divide by 1000 or use

czasAlg.Elapsed.TotalSeconds

Answer 2

Without your own constants and magic numbers:

TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(x).TotalSeconds

What is the difference of .Seconds and .TotalSeconds on TimeSpan? – Stebbins

.Seconds gets the seconds place of the TimeSpan. So if it was 1 minute and 30 seconds you would get 30 back where .TotalSeconds would return 90. – Salita

Use TimeSpan.Duration() to get the absolute value of the timespan. TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(x).Duration().TotalSeconds – Mclaren

Answer 3

Just to be different:

Multiply by 0.001.

That'll scare the other developers! – Satiety

Hm, evil idea: double.Parse(string.Format("{0}e-3", czasAlg.ElapsedMilliseconds)) – Lachrymal

Answer 4

Use

czasAlg.Elapsed.TotalSeconds

Answer 5

How about 1s = 1000ms

Answer 8

Instead of using math and multiplying/diving like this: seconds (60) * 1000 = 60000, use TimeSpan instead, it's using bit operations, and due to it has a minimum cost of performance.

Milliseconds to seconds

int sixtyThousandsMillisecondsInSeconds = (int)TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(60000).TotalSeconds;
// Outputs 60

Seconds to milliseconds

// 1 min (60 seconds) in milliseconds = 60000 (i.e 60 * 1000)
int sixtySecondsInMilliseconds = (int)TimeSpan.FromSeconds(60).TotalMilliseconds;
// Outputs 60000

Using LINQPad

int sixtyThousendsMillisecondsInSeconds = (int)TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(60000).TotalSeconds;
sixtyThousendsMillisecondsInSeconds.Dump();

int sixtySecondsInMilliseconds = (int)TimeSpan.FromSeconds(60).TotalMilliseconds;
sixtySecondsInMilliseconds.Dump();

Results

60

60000
