Example: Difference Between Two Time Periods in Python using datetime module

from datetime import datetime

​

# Step-1 Define the start and end time using datetime objects

start_time = datetime(2025, 6, 3, 8, 20, 45)

end_time = datetime(2025, 6, 11, 14, 5, 30)

​

# Step-2 Subtract the two to get a timedelta object

difference = end_time - start_time

​

# Step-3 Extract total seconds and convert to hours, minutes, seconds

total_seconds = int(difference.total_seconds())

hours = total_seconds // 3600

minutes = (total_seconds % 3600) // 60

seconds = total_seconds % 60

​

# Step-4 Display the time difference

print(f"\nTIME DIFFERENCE: {hours} HOURS, {minutes} MINUTES, {seconds} SECONDS")
