Question

Write a program to take in a time-of-day on the command-line as 3 integers representing hours, minutes, and seconds, along with a 4th argument of additional seconds. Recompute the time by adding the additional seconds to the time in the first three command-line arguments. Output: - display the original time given on the command-line - display the newly computed time Example: python computeTime.py 5 59 32 30 Initial time: 5:59:32 Computed time: 6:00:02 {6:0:2 would also be acceptable}

Answer 1

Answer:

In Python:

hh = int(input("Hour: ")) * 3600

mm = int(input("Minutes: ")) * 60

ss = int(input("Seconds: "))

seconds = int(input("Additional Seconds: "))

time = hh+ mm + ss + seconds

hh =  int(time/3600)

time = time - hh * 3600

mm = int(time/60)

ss = time - mm * 60

while(hh>24):

   hh = hh - 24

print(str(hh)+" : "+str(mm)+" : "+str(ss))

Explanation:

We start by getting the time of the day. This is done using the next three lines

hh = int(input("Hour: ")) * 3600

mm = int(input("Minutes: ")) * 60

ss = int(input("Seconds: "))

Then, we get the additional seconds

seconds = int(input("Additional Seconds: "))

The new time is then calculated (in seconds)

time = hh+ mm + ss + seconds

This line extracts the hours from the calculated time (in seconds)

hh =  int(time/3600)

time = time - hh * 3600

This line extracts the minutes from the calculated time (in seconds)

mm = int(time/60)

This line gets the remaining seconds

ss = time - mm * 60

The following iteration ensures that the hour is less than 24

while(hh>24):

   hh = hh - 24

This prints the calculated time

print(str(hh)+" : "+str(mm)+" : "+str(ss))
