    Converting seconds to hours in decimal form?

    I'm trying to convert seconds to hours. I'd like to be able to convert 3600 to read 1.0 and 5400 (1 and 1/2 hours) to 1.5 and so on..

    If anybody could shed some light on this simple problem I'd greatly appreciate it!

    Thank you.

    You'll kick yourself when you see this one.

    Code:
    time_val = 5400;
    
    time_dec = time_val / 3600;
    All you have to do is divide by 3600.

    Yeah. I guess you were right.

    This i what I did.

    Code:
    #include <stdio.h>
    
    #define SECSPERHOUR     3600
    
    int main(void)
    {
            float secs=7100;
    
            secs = secs / SECSPERHOUR;
    
            printf("Hours: %.02f\n", secs);
    }

    Hmmmmmmmmm
    Where is the return statement in the code ?

    Don't you think it's not a cool habit of writing code.Just return some integer to main(). Why you have forced main() to stay without food ?
