C Exercises: Calculate the total number of hours and minutes
6. Convert Minutes to Hours and Minutes
Write a program in C that takes minutes as input, and display the total number of hours and minutes.
Pictorial Presentation:
Sample Solution:
C Code:
#include <stdio.h> // Include the standard input/output header file.
int tot_mins; /* given number of minutes */
int hrs; /* number of hours (to be computed) */
int mins; /* number of minutes (to be computed) */
const int MINaHOUR = 60; /* number of minutes in an hour */
char line_text[50]; /* line of input from keyboard */
int main() {
printf("Input minutes: "); // Prompt the user to input minutes.
fgets(line_text, sizeof(line_text), stdin); // Read a line of input from the user and store it in 'line_text'.
sscanf(line_text, "%d", &tot_mins); // Convert the input to an integer and store it in 'tot_mins'.
hrs = (tot_mins / MINaHOUR); // Calculate the number of hours.
mins = (tot_mins % MINaHOUR); // Calculate the remaining minutes.
printf("%d Hours, %d Minutes.\n", hrs, mins); // Print the calculated hours and minutes.
return(0); // Return 0 to indicate successful execution of the program.
}
Sample Output:
Input minutes: 546 9 Hours, 6 Minutes.
