How can i get the time stamp for this hour 0 minute 0 second?

[singochina]

Hi All,

I got a question, for example, currect time is 6/9/2011 11:50:34, and
i wanna got the time stamp for this hour 0 minute 0 second (6/9/2011
11:00:00), may i ask which method can i use under package time?

Regards,
Singo

Basically you can eliminate everything that is not a full hour by dividing and throwing away the rest. So this should work quite good.

package main

import (

"time"

"fmt"

)

func main() {

seconds := time.Seconds() / 3600

fmt.Print(time.SecondsToLocalTime(seconds * 3600))

}

I just reduced the current seconds to full hours. From that value I just create a local time string to print it. Of course I have to multiply it by 3600 again to get the seconds of the full hours.

Thanks a lot

that won't work in general, as time zones may be on
sub-hour intervals (also i suppose it's possible that the time
package might account for leap seconds at some point).

rob's approach works great.

Yes, Rob's solution is cleaner and better. My approach was just the first and fastest that came to my mind as I didn't know that you can use Format() in this case. But I don't know what you mean with sub-hour intervals.

[roger peppe]

some time zones are not a whole multiple of hours from UTC.
(e.g. afghanistan is UTC+4:30)

thus taking time.Seconds and rounding down to the nearest whole hour
may not round down to the correct local hour.
