Final answer:
To convert seconds to weeks, days, hours, minutes, and seconds, use python's quotient (//) and remainder (%) operations. For negative inputs, display an error and exit. The final output gives the complete conversion without decimals.
Step-by-step explanation:
To convert a total number of seconds into weeks, days, hours, minutes, and seconds, you can use Python's quotient and remainder operations. When given a number like 3301000 seconds, you first need to check for a negative input, and if it is negative, display an error message and terminate the program because time cannot go backwards. Otherwise, proceed with the conversion using division and modulus operations to break down the total seconds into larger units of time.
For example, you can calculate the number of weeks by dividing by 604800 (the number of seconds in a week), then use the remainder to calculate days, dividing by 86400 (the number of seconds in a day), and continue similarly for hours, minutes, and seconds.
The code can be written as follows:
total_seconds = int(input("Enter the total seconds: "))
if total_seconds < 0:
print("Error: Negative number entered.")
exit()
else:
weeks = total_seconds // 604800
remainder = total_seconds % 604800
days = remainder // 86400
remainder %= 86400
hours = remainder // 3600
remainder %= 3600
minutes = remainder // 60
seconds = remainder % 60
print(f"{weeks} weeks, {days} days, {hours} hours, {minutes} minutes, {seconds} seconds")
When you run this program with the input of 3301000, the output will be "5 weeks, 3 days, 4 hours, 56 minutes, 40 seconds", matching the desired result. Remember that the modulus operation (%) gives the remainder and the integer division (//) gives the quotient without any decimals.
