Repr() function on a timedelta instance

Overview:

  • For a timedelta instance, the function repr() returns a string containing the constructor invocation which is quantitatively equivalent to the original parameter values.

Example:

# Example Python program that prints
# a timedelta instance as a call to the constructor
from datetime import timedelta

longestTennisMatch = timedelta(hours=11, minutes=5)
print("Longest tennis match:")
print(repr(longestTennisMatch))

twentyFourPlus = timedelta(hours=24, minutes=10)
print("More than 24 hours:")
print(repr(twentyFourPlus))

Output:

Longest tennis match:

datetime.timedelta(seconds=39900)

More than 24 hours:

datetime.timedelta(days=1, seconds=600)
