[R] Formating time in R

[Adams, Jean]

Raoni,

You could write your own function to do this.  For example, using the
period class from the R package lubridate, you could do something like this:

days2 <- function(x) {
  h1 <- 24*x
  h <- floor(h1)
  m1 <- 60*(h1 - h)
  m <- floor(m1)
  s <- round(60*(m1 - m))
  new_period(second=s, minute=m, hour=h)
}

library(lubridate)
test <- c(1.424708, 0.028674)
days2(test)

[1] "34H 11M 35S" "41M 17S"
