Code Implementation

Need to calculate a specific time from 20 minutes ago? Here's how to implement this calculation across different programming languages:

// PHP
// Get time from 20 minutes ago
$pastDate = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('-20 minutes'));

// Get time 20 minutes from now
$futureDate = date('Y-m-d H:i:s', strtotime('+20 minutes'));

// Using DateTime
$date = new DateTime();
$date->modify('-20 minutes');
echo $date->format('Y-m-d H:i:s');
// JavaScript
// Get time from 20 minutes ago
const pastDate = new Date(Date.now() - 20 * 60000);

// Get time 20 minutes from now
const futureDate = new Date(Date.now() + 20 * 60000);

// Using date methods
const date = new Date();
date.setMinutes(date.getMinutes() - 20);
console.log(date.toISOString());
# Python
from datetime import datetime, timedelta

# Get time from 20 minutes ago
past_date = datetime.now() - timedelta(minutes=20)

# Get time 20 minutes from now
future_date = datetime.now() + timedelta(minutes=20)

# Format the dates
print(past_date.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'))
print(future_date.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'))
