DELTA TIME(CodeEval) - rochefort's blog

CHALLENGE DESCRIPTION:

You are given the pairs of time values. The values are in the HH:MM:SS format with leading zeros. Your task is to find out the time difference between the pairs.

INPUT SAMPLE:

14:01:57 12:47:11
13:09:42 22:16:15
08:08:06 08:38:28
23:35:07 02:49:59
14:31:45 14:46:56

OUTPUT SAMPLE:

Print to stdout the time difference for each pair, one per line. You must format the time values in HH:MM:SS with leading zeros.

For example:

01:14:46
09:06:33
00:30:22
20:45:08
00:15:11

My Code

#!/usr/bin/env ruby -w
require 'time'

def delta_time(strTime1, strTime2)
  time1 = Time.parse(strTime1)
  time2 = Time.parse(strTime2)
  delta_sec = (time1 - time2).abs
  (Time.new(0) + delta_sec).strftime('%H:%M:%S')
end

ARGF.each_line do |line|
  puts delta_time(*line.chomp.split)
end
