Hello, I'm new to this forum, but I need help really bad and can't seem to figure out how to fix my overflow problem.
I'm taking a class where I have to write a program that calculates a given number of seconds and generates how many centuries, years, days, hours, and minutes that given number is. The output needs to be displayed in a table with the given numbers written above it, but at the moment I'm still trying to figure out the overflow issue and I'm using a user input of any number of seconds to give me an answer and I can't even seem to get it to do that... any help is MUCH appreciated...
Thank you in advance
Alex.
Code:/*********** * Alex Carpenter * ACCarpenter * CS1300/project 2/Path_Length * Due Date: September 7, 2011 * A program created to calculate an "x" amount of seconds * into minutes, hours, days, years, and centuries. ***********/ #include <stdio.h> /* use standard I/O functions */ int main () { /*begin main */ const int seconds_in_centuries = 3153600000; const int seconds_in_years = 31536000; const int seconds_in_days = 86400; const int seconds_in_hours = 3600; const int seconds_in_minutes = 60; long long int centuries; long long int years; long long int days; long long int hours; long long int minutes; /*calculates number of centuries-minutes the amount of seconds equals*/ centuries=seconds/seconds_in_centuries; years = years % seconds_in_centuries; days = days % seconds_in_years; hours = hours % seconds_in_days; minutes = minutes % seconds_in_hours; seconds = seconds % seconds_in_minutes; printf("How many seconds?"); scanf("%llu",&seconds); printf("%llu",seconds); return 0; }
remember i just started learning this so we haven't advanced to anything past the basics..
