5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Does this work for time spans longer than 24 hours?
A: The current version calculates durations within a 24-hour period. For longer durations, consider using date-time inputs.

Q2: What time format should I use?
A: The calculator uses standard 24-hour format (HH:MM).

Q3: How precise is the calculation?
A: The calculation is precise to the minute. Seconds are not currently displayed in the results.

Q4: Can I calculate time across different days?
A: This version calculates within a single day. For multi-day calculations, dates would need to be included.

Q5: Why does my result show negative time?
A: If the end time is earlier than the start time, it's assumed you're calculating across midnight (e.g., 23:00 to 01:00 would show 2 hours).
