How to convert milliseconds into human readable form?

by

Well, since nobody else has stepped up, I’ll write the easy code to do this:

x = ms / 1000
seconds = x % 60
x /= 60
minutes = x % 60
x /= 60
hours = x % 24
x /= 24
days = x

I’m just glad you stopped at days and didn’t ask for months. 🙂

Note that in the above, it is assumed that / represents truncating integer division. If you use this code in a language where / represents floating point division, you will need to manually truncate the results of the division as needed.
