Python – time.ctime() Method
Python time.ctime() method converts a time in seconds since the epoch to a string in local time. This is equivalent to asctime(localtime(seconds)). Current time is returned by localtime() is used when the time tuple is not present.
Syntax: time.ctime([ sec ])
Parameter:
- sec: number of seconds to be converted into string representation.
Example 1:
Let’s move to the code with an explanation :
Python3
# import module import time # here no parameter is passed print (time.ctime()) |
Output:
Thu Mar 18 11:00:19 2021
It prints the standard time equivalent to asctime() method.
Example 2:
Let’s Have a look at asctime() method:
Python3
# import time import time # gives local time a = time.localtime() c = time.asctime(a) print (c) |
Output:
Thu Mar 18 11:01:02 2021
Example 3:
Let’s move to another example where we will pass seconds as a parameter to ctime() method.
Python3
# import time module import time # passing number of seconds as # parameter to ctime() method print (time.ctime( 1615799665.584516 )) |
Output:
Mon Mar 15 14:44:25 2021
Example 4:
Here is another example where we pass a parameter to ctime() method.
Python3
# import time module import time # passing number of seconds as # parameter to ctime() method print (time.ctime( 1000 )) |
Output:
Thu Jan 1 05:46:40 1970
