looping through every strftime in HHMMSS format - yatinydalvi - Sep-07-2017

How can I loop through every HHMMSS during a span of day? i.e. from 000001 to 235959. Can I use the strftime reference?

Thanks for the response. However this line will iterate 235959 times which is incorrect. Over a span of a day i.e.24 hours, HHMMSS will have only 24*60*60=86400 values.

my answer fits your question:

>>> for hh in range(24):
...   for mm in range(60):
...     for ss in range(60):
...       print("{:02.0f}{:02.0f}{:02.0f}".format(hh, mm, ss))

Here is another approach:-

import datetime

for i in range(86400):
    print(datetime.timedelta(seconds=i))
