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

this seems to me to be the easiest way to convert seconds into DD/hh/mm/ss:

#include 
#include 
using namespace std;    

time_t seconds(1641); // you have to convert your input_seconds into time_t
tm *p = gmtime(&seconds); // convert to broken down time

cout << "days = " << p->tm_yday << endl;
cout << "hours = " << p->tm_hour << endl;
cout << "minutes = " << p->tm_min  << endl;
cout << "seconds = " << p->tm_sec << endl;

I hope it helps!

Regards,
