Convert seconds to Days, Minutes and Seconds

Question

Hey everyone. I\'ve continuing to learn C++ and I\'ve been set the \'challenge\' of converting seconds to format as the Days,Minutes and Seconds.

For example: 316000

Answer 1

For example: 31600000 = 365 days, 46 minutes, 40 seconds.

Really?

$ bc
365*24*60*60 + 46*60 + 40
31538800

365*24*60*60 + 1066*60 + 40
31600000

Did you mean "convert the input into days, hours, minutes and seconds, and then discard the hours" or "convert the input into days, total minutes within a day (i.e. can be more than 60), and seconds"?

In the second case I think you should replace the instruction for minutes with

long minutes = input_seconds / secs_to_min % (mins_in_hour * hours_in_day);
