Minutes() function in Golang

Problem Solution:

In this program, we will demonstrate the Minutes() function to get the total minutes in floating-point format by specifying the time in a specific format.

Program/Source Code:

The source code to demonstrate the Minutes() function is given below. The given program is compiled and executed successfully.

Golang code to demonstrate the example of Minutes() function

// Golang program to demonstrate the Minutes() function

package main

import "fmt"
import "time"

func main() {
	t, _ := time.ParseDuration("3h32m30s")
	fmt.Printf("Total Minutes are: %f", t.Minutes())
}

Output:

Total Minutes are: 212.500000

Explanation:

In the above program, we declare the package main. The main package is used to tell the Go language compiler that the package must be compiled and produced the executable file. Here, we imported the fmt and time packages to use time and fmt related functions.

In the main() function, we created t variable initialized using time.ParseDuration() function. Then get total minutes in the floating-point format using Minutes() function. The Minutes() function returns float64 value. After that, we printed the result on the console screen.
