JavaScript – Time Conversion – Millisecond (Execution/Run Time) To Human Readable

Sometimes when you are looking at execution time you want to make it easier to report the amount of time. The script below will help.

function msToTime(duration, OutputType) {
  var milliseconds = parseInt((duration % 1000) / 100),
    seconds = parseInt((duration / 1000) % 60),
    minutes = parseInt((duration / (1000 * 60)) % 60),
    hours = parseInt((duration / (1000 * 60 * 60)) % 24);

  hours = (hours < 10) ? "0" + hours : hours;
  minutes = (minutes < 10) ? "0" + minutes : minutes;
  seconds = (seconds < 10) ? "0" + seconds : seconds;

  if (OutputType == 1) {
    return hours + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds + ":" + milliseconds;
  } else {
    return hours + " h " + minutes + " m " + seconds + " s " + milliseconds + ' ms';
  }
}

function testFunction() {
  document.write("<br>Output Type 1: " + msToTime(230495, 1));
  document.write("<br>Output Type 2: " + msToTime(230495, 2));
}

Example Output:
Output Type 1: 00:03:50:4
Output Type 2: 00 h 03 m 50 s 4 ms

And a full example is below

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
	<script type="text/javascript">
	         function msToTime(duration,OutputType) {
	            var milliseconds = parseInt((duration % 1000) / 100),
	                seconds = parseInt((duration / 1000) % 60),
	                minutes = parseInt((duration / (1000 * 60)) % 60),
	                hours = parseInt((duration / (1000 * 60 * 60)) % 24);

	            hours = (hours < 10) ? "0" + hours : hours;
	            minutes = (minutes < 10) ? "0" + minutes : minutes;
	            seconds = (seconds < 10) ? "0" + seconds : seconds;

	         if (OutputType == 1)
	         {
	         return hours + ":" + minutes + ":" + seconds + ":" + milliseconds;
	         }
	         else
	         {
	            return hours + " h " + minutes + " m " + seconds + " s " + milliseconds + ' ms';
	            }
	         }

	         function testFunction()
	         {
	         document.write("<br>Output Type 1: " + msToTime(230495,1));
	         document.write("<br>Output Type 2: " + msToTime(230495,2));
	         }
	</script>
