r - Convert seconds to days: hours:minutes:seconds

Question

I want to convert the seconds into hours minutes and seconds in R.

Example

86400seconds-1day

gmdate("d H:i:s",86400)

This is how I tried.

Answer 1

You may try

library(lubridate)
seconds_to_period(86400)
#[1] "1d 0H 0M 0S"

seconds_to_period(48000)
#[1] "13H 20M 0S"

If you need to format

td <- seconds_to_period(86400)
sprintf('%02d %02d:%02d:%02d', day(td), td@hour, minute(td), second(td))
#[1] "01 00:00:00"

If it spans for >99 days,

td <- seconds_to_period(1e7)
sprintf('%03d %02d:%02d:%02d', day(td), td@hour, minute(td), second(td))
#[1] "115 17:46:40"
