How to measure elapsed time in hh:mm:ss?

Hi,

till now I measured elapsed time with:

tic;
% some code here
datestr(toc/86400,'HH:MM:SS')

Matlab R2022b says "datestr" is not recommended anymore. So how can I now convert timer-value (in seconds) to "hours-minutes-seconds"?

You can do this with SECONDS(), but then it requires two lines. Here is a simple solution on one line:

tic
..
dur = duration(0,0,toc)

Hi you can use of seconds function:

tic;

s = seconds(toc/86400); 
s.Format = 'hh:mm:ss'

Hope this helps!

The output of TOC is already in seconds... so dividing by the number of seconds in one day is not useful here.
