javascript - Convert hours into minutes

Question

I want to convert the hours into minutes.

Example: If hour is 2:18, then I want the output as 138 minutes.

<script>
m = diff % 60;
h = (diff - m) / 60;

mins = h.toString() + ":" + (m < 10 ? "0" : "") + m.toString();
alert(mins)
</script>

Answer 1

You can easily convert this into javascript. Following code might help you

var hms = '2:18';   // your input string
var a = hms.split(':'); // split it at the colons

// minutes are worth 60 seconds. Hours are worth 60 minutes.
var minutes= (+a[0]) * 60  + (+a[1])  ; 

console.log(minutes);
