Hello, Can anyone help with how i can fit in the modulus operator in this code

Question

I was working on an exercise from thinkjava that converts total seconds to hours, minutes, seconds.

Hint given says to use the modulus operator.
But i quite cant fit it in

I did manage to make code work though without the modulus
But i want to know how the modulus would fit in

Answer 1

Hello Bamgboye Oluwatosin

1 hour = 3600 s;
1 min = 60 s;

input = 7833 s;

Get the hours:
hours = input / 3600
hours = 7833 / 3600 = 2

Now you need to know how many seconds remains:
rest = input % 3600
rest = 7833 % 3600 = 633;

Get the minutes:
min = rest / 60
min = 633 / 60 = 10;

And again, calculate the seconds which remains:
rest = rest % 60
rest = 633 % 60 = 33

7833s = 02:10:33
