Correct the Time-String in Java


The challenge

  • You have to create a method, that corrects a given time string.
  • There was a problem in addition, so many of the time strings are broken.
  • Time is formatted using the 24-hour clock, so from 00:00:00 to 23:59:59.

Examples

"09:10:01" -> "09:10:01"  
"11:70:10" -> "12:10:10"  
"19:99:99" -> "20:40:39"  
"24:01:01" -> "00:01:01"

The solution in Java code

Option 1:

public class Solution {
 public static String timeCorrect(String timestring) {
    if (timestring == null || !timestring.matches("^\\d{2}:\\d{2}:\\d{2}$")) {
      return null;
    }
    String[] split = timestring.split(":");
    int h = Integer.parseInt(split[0]);
    int m = Integer.parseInt(split[1]);
    int s = Integer.parseInt(split[2]);
    m += s / 60;
    s = s % 60;
    h += m / 60;
    m = m % 60;
    h = h % 24;
    return String.format("%02d:%02d:%02d", h, m, s);
  }
}

Option 2:

import static java.util.Arrays.stream;

class Solution {
  static String timeCorrect(String timestring) {
    if (timestring == null || !timestring.matches("\\d{2}:\\d{2}:\\d{2}")) return null;
    var units = stream(timestring.split(":")).mapToInt(Integer::parseInt).toArray();
    int sec = units[2] % 60;
    int min = (units[1] + units[2] / 60) % 60;
    int hours = (units[0] + (units[1] + units[2] / 60) / 60) % 24;
    return String.format("%02d:%02d:%02d", hours, min, sec);
  }
}

Option 3:

public class Solution {

    public static String timeCorrect(String timestring) {
        if (timestring == null || timestring.equals("")) return null;
        if (!timestring.matches("\\d{2}:\\d{2}:\\d{2}")) return null;

        String[] elements = timestring.split(":");

        int hour = Integer.parseInt(elements[0]);
        int min = Integer.parseInt(elements[1]);
        int sec = Integer.parseInt(elements[2]);

        min += sec / 60;
        sec = sec % 60;
        hour += min / 60;
        min = min % 60;
        hour = hour % 24;

        return String.format("%02d:%02d:%02d", hour, min, sec);
    }

}
