Time Conversion

Your goal is to write a function that converts the time something is scheduled to happen in to a unix time stamp. The format you receive is shown below:

  • 1d 6h
  • 10h 14m
  • 7m 8s
  • 32s

Thus, if your input was "7m 8s" you'd add 7 minutes and 8 seconds to the current unix time stamp and return that value.

    import time

def parseTime(tString):
    if tString[-1] is 'h':
        return int(tString[:-1]) * 60 * 60
    elif tString[-1] is 'm':
        return int(tString[:-1]) * 60
    elif tString[-1] is 's':
        return int(tString[:-1])
    return 0

ti = int(round(time.time()))

usertime = raw_input()
splits = usertime.split(' ')
for item in splits:
    ti = ti + parseTime(item)
print 'result: ' + str(ti)

    public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args){
        String s = "1d 23m";
        String[] sections = s.split(" ");
        long time = System.currentTimeMillis();
        for (String section : sections){
            char unit = section.charAt(section.length()-1);
            int num = Integer.valueOf(section.substring(0, section.length()-1));
            int millis = 0;
            if (unit=='d')
                millis= num*24*60*60*1000;
            else if (unit=='h')
                millis = num*60*60*1000;
            else if (unit=='m')
                millis = num*60*1000;

            else{
                System.out.println("Invalid input!");
                System.exit(0);
            }
            time+=millis;
        }
        System.out.println(time);
    }
}
