How to convert string numbers that are written in this format: XX:XX:XX into comparable numbers

Question

How would i convert a string like this: 1:13:16 Into a number value? It can go up as high as xx:xx:xx

Hours:minutes:seconds

Example list:
duration: 0:37:29
duration: 0:25:57
duration: 1:10:15
duration: 21:2:55

I need to do some false true comparisons so i need to convert them accurately.

Use split(), like so:

let duration = '0:37:29';
let [hours, minutes, seconds] =
  duration.split(':').map(str => Number.parseInt(str));
