Question

Display a proper prompt to the user to input his/her age, which could include year, days, and hours. Your program should calculate and produce the correct output displaying clearly how many seconds s/he has lived. Two sample user input scenarios are provided below, you should be able to use your program to verify Thomas Fuller’s calculation. Your program output should clearly display the seconds first taking leap year(s) into consideration and then without accounting for leap year(s).

How many seconds are there in a leap year and a half?

Answer 1

To find the number of seconds in a leap year and a half, calculate the total seconds for 366 days and 182.5 days and sum them. The total is 47,390,400 seconds with a leap year, and 47,304,000 seconds without considering a leap year.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate how many seconds there are in a leap year and a half, you first need to know the number of seconds in a day, which is 1 day × 24 hr/day × 60 min/hr × 60 s/min = 86,400 s/day. A leap year has 366 days, so you multiply the number of seconds in a day by 366 to find the total seconds in a leap year. To calculate a year and a half, including one leap year, you would do the following:

• Leap year: 366 days × 86,400 s/day = 31,622,400 seconds
• Half of a regular year (182.5 days): 182.5 days × 86,400 s/day = 15,768,000 seconds

Add them together: 31,622,400 seconds + 15,768,000 seconds = 47,390,400 seconds in a leap year and a half. Without considering a leap year (or a regular year of 365 days), the calculation for a year and a half would be slightly different:

• 1 year: 365 days × 86,400 s/day = 31,536,000 seconds
• Half year: 182.5 days × 86,400 s/day = 15,768,000 seconds

Add them together: 31,536,000 seconds + 15,768,000 seconds = 47,304,000 seconds in a regular year and a half.
