Recursive Minutes to Days, Hours, Minutes in C# (Humanize Time)
If you need to convert a lump sum of minutes into something a little easer for humans (people) to read then here it is:
Comments welcome.
private static string MinutesToHumanTime(int minutes)
{
const int MINUTES_IN_DAY = 60 * 24;
if (minutes >= MINUTES_IN_DAY)
{
var days_as_string = (minutes / MINUTES_IN_DAY).ToString() + " days ";
return days_as_string + MinutesToHumanTime(minutes % MINUTES_IN_DAY);
}
else if (minutes >= 60)
{
var hours_as_string = (minutes / 60).ToString() + " hours ";
return hours_as_string + MinutesToHumanTime(minutes % 60);
}
else
{
return minutes.ToString() + " minutes ";
}
}
