Trinket is closing down in August, but don't worry we will be moving our projects to the free offer from GoCodeIt.
Seconds in a day
Convert seconds to hours and minutes.
The number of seconds can also be expressed in hours and minutes.
Make
Write a program that allows the user to enter the number of seconds. The program outputs the number of equivalent hours, minutes and seconds that is.
Use this boilerplate code as a starting point:
Success Criteria
Remember to add a comment before a subprogram, selection or iteration statement to explain its purpose.
Complete the subprogram called `seconds_to_hours` that:
- Returns the number of hours calculated as seconds integer divided by three thousand six hundred.
Complete the subprogram called `seconds_to_minutes` that:
- Returns the number of minutes calculated as seconds integer divided by sixty, modulo sixty.
Complete the subprogram called `seconds_remaining` that:
- Returns the modulo of seconds by sixty.
Complete the `main program` so that:
- The user can input the number of seconds.
- It outputs the number of seconds in hours, minutes and seconds.
Typical inputs and outputs from the program would be:
Enter the number of seconds: 60
0 hours 1 minutes 0 seconds
Enter the number of seconds: 1460
0 hours 24 minutes 20 seconds
Enter the number of seconds: 86000
23 hours 53 minutes 20 seconds
Enter the number of seconds: 4200
1 hours 10 minutes 0 seconds

Programming guide:
Evaluate
Run the unit tests below to check that your program has met the success criteria.
Enter the number of seconds: 42
0 hours 0 minutes 42 seconds
Enter the number of seconds: 120
0 hours 2 minutes 0 seconds
Enter the number of seconds: 3600
1 hours 0 minutes 0 seconds
Enter the number of seconds: 65853
18 hours 17 minutes 33 seconds
Check that you have:
- Used comments within the code to describe the purpose of subprograms, conditions and iterations.
- Used meaningful identifier names. That means the names of subprograms and variables indicate what they are for.
