Answer 1

#include<stdio.h>

int main()
{
//Variable to store total seconds input from the user
unsigned int total_seconds;
// Variable to store remaining seconds after removing whole hours minutes and seconds
unsigned int rem_seconds;

// Prompt the user for seconds
printf("How many seconds?");
// Scanf is used to read the input from the user.
scanf("%u", &total_seconds);

// Get the number of days by dividing the total seconds by the number of seconds in a day i.e 24*60*60
printf("Days: %u\n", total_seconds/(60 * 60 * 24));
// Get the remaining seconds after removing all the whole days calculated before by getting the
// remainder value after division
rem_seconds = total_seconds % ( 60 * 60 * 24 );
// Get the number of hourss by dividing the total remaining seconds by the number of seconds in a hour i.e 60*60
printf("Hours: %u\n", rem_seconds/( 60 * 60));
// Get the remaining seconds after removing all the whole hourss calculated before by getting the
// remainder value after division
rem_seconds = rem_seconds % (60 * 60);
// Get the number of minutes by dividing the total remaining seconds by the number of seconds in a minute i.e 60
printf("Minutes: %u\n", rem_seconds/60);
// Get the remaining seconds after removing all the whole minutes calculated before by getting the
// remainder value after division
rem_seconds = rem_seconds % 60;
// print the remaining seconds
printf("Seconds: %u\n", rem_seconds);
