@Sachintha

What formula would I use to calculate the remaining minutes?

Answer 2

secondsRemaining = input - days *86400 - hours*3600 - minutes*60


Someone said this, but I'm not sure what they meant

Answer 3

Is days, hour and minutes are defined? Show me your full code.

Answer 4

I haven't made it yet. I need a formula for finding the remaining minutes. Here you go.

Answer 5

days=seconds/86400

hours=seconds/3600

minutes=seconds/60

I have this

But I need the remain secs formula

Answer 6

//Ashton Dreiling
//Seconds exercise
#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>

using namespace std;

//module prototypes
void calculateDaysHoursMinsAndRemainSecs (double &Days, double &Hours, double &Minutes, double &remainingSeconds,
double seconds);

//global constants
const int VALUETOCALCULATEDAYS = 86400;
const int VALUETOCALCULATEHOURS = 3600;
const int VALUETOCALCULATEMINS = 60;

int main()
{ //some variables
double Days;
double Hours;
double Minutes;
double remainingSeconds;
double seconds;

cout << "We are going to have you input an amount of seconds to determine the days, hours, minutes, and remaining seconds." << endl;
cout << "Please enter the amount of seconds of your choice." << endl;
cin >> seconds;
cout << "You said you had " << seconds << endl;
cout << "We will now determine the days, hours, minutes, and remaining seconds based off of your input." << endl;

//pass variables to calculate days, hours, minutes, and remaining seconds
calculateDaysHoursMinsAndRemainSecs(Days, Hours, Minutes, remainingSeconds, seconds);
cout << "There are " << Days << " Days" << endl;
cout << "There are " << Hours << " Hours" << endl;
cout << "There are " << Minutes << " Minutes" << endl;



system("Pause");

return 0;
}

void calculateDaysHoursMinsAndRemainSecs(double &Days, double &Hours, double &Minutes, double &remainingSeconds, double seconds)
{
Days=(seconds/VALUETOCALCULATEDAYS);
Hours=(seconds/VALUETOCALCULATEHOURS);
Minutes=(seconds/VALUETOCALCULATEMINS);


}

Answer 7

I have this so far

(Not done yet)

But I need a formula to find the remaining seconds

Answer 8

Ah, so I'm on the right path right?

I did the days, hours, and mins right correct?

@Sachintha

Answer 9

Your post disappeared?

I didn't understand what he meant by input

Answer 10

@Sachintha

Answer 11

I think you have to change the seconds to days, hours, minutes and seconds without total hours, minutes .. gh
ex: 54055s = 0 days 15hr 0min 55s

If so your equations are wrong. The sec remaining equation is meaning less with your day, minutes, hours variables since it simplifies to: sec's remaining = input - (days+hours+mins) which is wrong.

Answer 12

Here I'll show you what the book says and you decide if the equations are correct or not

Answer 13

According to the book your equations are correct.

Answer 14

You use this equation for remaining seconds,
sec remaining = seconds%60

Answer 15

seconds%60?

@Sachintha

Answer 16

Yes it's the modulus sign. Run the program and check whether it outputs correctly.

Answer 17

@Sachintha

This is what it said

Answer 18

Why did you put the type of seconds as double?

Answer 19

In case they put in a decimal.

Answer 20

@Sachintha

Do you know how to fix that error tho : p

Answer 21

Change it to int.

Answer 22

Why so?

Answer 23

Because I think it is a data type exception. :3

Answer 24

Would you explain? ^.^

Answer 26

@Sachintha

Alright. Here is finished product.

Type if 86,400 when you run.

Tell me if there are any logic errors when you run. : )

Answer 27

I am getting some other errors. Did it work on your compiler?

Answer 28

Yes

Answer 29

@Sachintha

Answer 30

I tried it on another compiler. It works perfectly. :D
