well im trying to do this but i cant
first i make a class in c++ and then pass values to it from main function of time
lets say i pass 3:26:12 ..
3 = hour
26 = min
12 = sec
so it displays it fine.. but now i want abit change in it.. i want if i pass 3:65:12 to it so it should automaticaly make it 4:05:12 as we know tht 1 hour = 60 mins..
so any logic for that? thanks buddies in advance
Yes. In fact you have the logic in your post.
(In other words, what exactly is your question?)
loll!
How about boost::date_time?
ok let me explain again lol..
once the program is executed, iit will ask u to set a time..
if u enter => 3:25:10 it will display it as follows
The Time is 3:25:10
in this, 3 = hour .. 25 = minutes .. 10 = seconds .. i hope this is very clear
now i wnt if someone enter's => 3:65:10 ... it means 3 = hour ... 65 = minute .. 10 = second.. we know that 1 hour has 60 minutes.. so minutes CANNOT BE MORE THAN 60 else the time will change to 4.. so with this logic it should be 4:05:10 .. now i hope this is very clear.. i need the logic for this..... i tried but couldnt get it
So, what have you tried, and how is the result different from what you expect?

as i said, i dont know the logic.. i can write the code if u can tell me the logic mtsp
You know the logic -- how else did you get the answer 4:05:10? (Whatever you did to get that answer -- that's the logic.)Quote:

You said the minutes can't be more than 60. So: IF the minutes are more than 60, you need to fiddle. How did you get 4 and 05 out of 3 and 65?
Edit: And continuing that idea, what should happen to 3:83? What about 11:64? What about 12:72?
i did if(min>60)
cout<<"Invalid input";
looool thats the easy escape =[ n i dont know do i need to use ifs or what man.. cant u write the logic code here?
If your using a class, ensure the members are a default state ( zero ) to begin. As each time is entered, use a function that checks the validitlity of the value, and enusre it never goes over 60, if it does, print an error and quit, or get the function to set it to a default value.
As for printing the time, use getter functions to return the valid time values seperated by the colon.
This has just *got* to be a joke...really, seriously. Epic lulz, right? ROFLcopter, all that?
No. (I can write the logic code, but I can't write the logic code here, in that that would waste my time and enable your behavior. And don't ask me in a PM or email either.)Quote:

thanks for the lecture, i dont hve time to read tht much useless paragraphs full of arrogant lines.. ill figur it out myself, cya.. thts all for now
bye
Although everything tabstop said was perfectly valid. Nobody will write an entire program for you, if you start the program then post it in regaurds to any errors people can help you.
Translation:
Wahhh! You expect me to actually think! You're mean! You won't give me teh codez!!!
Cya, although I'm sure you'll be back to try again.
That's what we want to hear.Quote:

Listen listen,
these people really want to help you. Help you to become a great programmer. They do so by making you solve your own problem - by giving you hints an direction, just like a real teacher would.
Now, I hope you know how to write pseudo code or flow charts?
I suggest you try. Try to write down the logic in your mind.
Try to figure out how you would do if someone gave you 3:65:05.
Let your brain do the work.
Once you've written a flowchart and pseudo code, you can translate it into actual C++ code. This is the basic step you're taught in programming.
Somthing like that.Code:int checkTimeSeconds ( int sec )
{
if ( sec > 60 )
{
m_Seconds = 10; // default value
}
else
{
m_Seconds = sec;
}
return m_Seconds;
}
i know whats a flowchart but whats a pseudo code exactly? b tw reply my pm please ;p
Pseudo code is basically non-language code, such as:
ASK USER FOR INPUT
CHECK IF INPUT IS VALID
IF INPUT IS VALID
PRINT OUTPUT
ELSE
PRINT INVALID OUTPUT
Usually, it's what you translate flowcharts into. One step closer to code.
ah ok thanks, will try :P thanks
Not what he wants to hear. He just wants someone to do his work for him. Has he shown any effort whatsoever?Quote:

Here is what I would do:
Ex:
given time: 3:65:00 (hours = 3, minutes = 65)
should be: 4:05:00 (hours = 4, minutes = 5)
if minutes > 60
hours = hours + minutes / 60
minutes = minutes % 60
65 % 60 = 5 (the minutes should be this)
65 / 60 = 1 (add this to the hours) (*Note:must be declared as an int).
Although there are other ways to do this (and declaring it as an int is probably considered bad practice), this would work.
People are supposed to think for themselves, you know? Not be handed a solution.
The first thing you learn as a programmer is to be able to translate the logic into program code through pseudo code and flow charts.
