Timespans & Laptimes

Timespans

Spans of time can be expressed and formatted in various ways

3 hours 5 minutes 10 seconds             | 3 hours 5 minutes 10 seconds
3h 5m 10s                                | 3 hours 5 minutes 10 seconds

3h 5m 10s in seconds                     | 11,110 s 

A timespan is a unit of time broken down into "components"

4.54 hours as timespan                 | 4 hours 32 minutes 24 seconds
72 days as timespan                    | 10 weeks 2 days

Laptimes

A laptime is time in the format HH:MM:SS.MS (hour:minute:second.millisecond), commonly used by timers. You can do arithmetic with laptimes:

03:04:05 + 01:02:03                    | 04:06:08
00:12:05 − 00:04:09                    | 00:07:56

A laptime must include two colons so Soulver can distinguish it from a clock time.

For example, to specify a laptime of 1.5 seconds, use 00:00:01.5

You can convert between laptimes and timespans

03:04:05 as timespan                    | 3 hours 4 minutes 5 seconds
3 hours 4 minutes 5 seconds as laptime  | 03:04:05
