Challenge: Calculate Hours, Minutes, and Seconds
Explore how to use C++ operators to convert a given total number of seconds into hours, minutes, and seconds. This lesson helps you practice variable manipulation and arithmetic operations to solve a common programming challenge. By completing this exercise, you will strengthen your understanding of operators in C++ and improve your problem-solving skills.
We'll cover the following...
Problem statement
In this challenge, you are given the total number of seconds, and your task is to display the number of hours, minutes, and seconds in it.
Input
We have already initialized the variable total_seconds at the backend.
int total_seconds = 3870;
Output
Your code should have the following output:
hours = 1
minutes = 4
seconds = 30
📝 Please use the variables
total_secondsfor the input andhours,minutes, andsecondsfor the output, or your code will not execute.
Coding exercise
Before diving directly into the solution, try to solve it yourself.Then, check if your code passes all the test cases.
Good luck! 👍
