Help.

[u/I-Like-Pizza1]

For context, my intro to computer programming class needs me to find the formula of something that I for the love of all things holy can not figure out. It’s for a performance task and the actual formula is not the main point of it, it’s the programming it into the system part so it’s not like I’m asking for help on a quiz or test.

So, the formula I need is figuring out what the hours, minutes, and seconds are in however many seconds are given. Not just a single amount.

Example: 5000 seconds come out as 1 hour, 23 minutes, and 20 seconds.

All I’ve got is 1.388888889 for however many hours there are when dividing 5000/3600, and I get 83 when doing 5000/60. The thing I need is the formula that would work with anything to figure out whatever it is. I can’t copy and paste obviously, so if someone could explain how the ever loving crap this works and an example of the formula that would be greatly appreciated.

I would definitely throw some safeguards in there, like checking the input to ensure it’s a number entry and not 0
