title: Convert seconds to compound duration
id: 596fd036dc1ab896c5db98b1
challengeType: 5

## Description
<section id='description'>
Task:
<p>Implement a function which:</p>
takes a positive integer representing a duration in seconds as input (e.g., <code>100</code>), and
returns a string which shows the same duration decomposed into weeks, days, hours, minutes, and seconds as detailed below (e.g., "<code>1 min, 40 sec</code>").
<p>Demonstrate that it passes the following three test-cases:</p><p style="font-size:115%; margin:1em 0 0 0">Test Cases</p>
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<th>input number</th>
<th>output number</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>7259</td>
<td><code>2 hr, 59 sec</code></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>86400</td>
<td><code>1 d</code></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>6000000</td>
<td><code>9 wk, 6 d, 10 hr, 40 min</code></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p style="font-size:115%; margin:1em 0 0 0">Details</p>
The following five units should be used:
<table>
<tbody>
<tr>
<th>unit</th>
<th>suffix used in output</th>
<th>conversion</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>week</td>
<td><code>wk</code></td>
<td>1 week = 7 days</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>day</td>
<td><code>d</code></td>
<td>1 day = 24 hours</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>hour</td>
<td><code>hr</code></td>
<td>1 hour = 60 minutes</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>minute</td>
<td><code>min</code></td>
<td>1 minute = 60 seconds</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>second</td>
<td><code>sec</code></td>
<td></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
However, only include quantities with non-zero values in the output (e.g., return "<code>1 d</code>" and not "<code>0 wk, 1 d, 0 hr, 0 min, 0 sec</code>").Give larger units precedence over smaller ones as much as possible (e.g., return <code>2 min, 10 sec</code> and not <code>1 min, 70 sec</code> or <code>130 sec</code>)Mimic the formatting shown in the test-cases (quantities sorted from largest unit to smallest and separated by comma+space; value and unit of each quantity separated by space).

## Tests
<section id='tests'>
```yml
tests:
- text: <code>convertSeconds</code> is a function.
testString: assert(typeof convertSeconds === 'function', '<code>convertSeconds</code> is a function.');
- text: <code>convertSeconds(7259)</code> should return <code>2 hr, 59 sec</code>.
testString: assert.equal(convertSeconds(testCases[0]), results[0], '<code>convertSeconds(7259)</code> should return <code>2 hr, 59 sec</code>.');
- text: <code>convertSeconds(86400)</code> should return <code>1 d</code>.
testString: assert.equal(convertSeconds(testCases[1]), results[1], '<code>convertSeconds(86400)</code> should return <code>1 d</code>.');
- text: <code>convertSeconds(6000000)</code> should return <code>9 wk, 6 d, 10 hr, 40 min</code>.
testString: assert.equal(convertSeconds(testCases[2]), results[2], '<code>convertSeconds(6000000)</code> should return <code>9 wk, 6 d, 10 hr, 40 min</code>.');

## Challenge Seed
<section id='challengeSeed'>
<div id='js-seed'>
```js
function convertSeconds (sec) {
// Good luck!
return true;
}
```
</div>
### After Test
<div id='js-teardown'>
```js
const testCases = [7259, 86400, 6000000];
const results = ['2 hr, 59 sec', '1 d', '9 wk, 6 d, 10 hr, 40 min'];
```
</div>
</section>
## Solution
<section id='solution'>
```js
function convertSeconds (sec) {
const localNames = ['wk', 'd', 'hr', 'min', 'sec'];
// compoundDuration :: [String] -> Int -> String
const compoundDuration = (labels, intSeconds) =>
weekParts(intSeconds)
.map((v, i) => [v, labels[i]])
.reduce((a, x) =>
a.concat(x[0] ? [`${x[0]} ${x[1] || '?'}`] : []), []
)
.join(', ');
// weekParts :: Int -> [Int]
const weekParts = intSeconds => [0, 7, 24, 60, 60]
.reduceRight((a, x) => {
const r = a.rem;
const mod = x !== 0 ? r % x : r;
return {
rem: (r - mod) / (x || 1),
parts: [mod].concat(a.parts)
};
}, {
rem: intSeconds,
parts: []
})
.parts;
return compoundDuration(localNames, sec);
}
```
