Question

c Write a program that reads two times in military format (0900, 1730) and prints the number of hours and minutes between the two times. Make sure the result is positive.

Answer 1

# This program was written in Python language as my choice language

# as the user did not indicate the particular language to be used for the #question

# Request inputs from the user.

time_1 = int(input("Please enter the first time: "))

time_2 = int(input("Please enter the second time: "))

# The following if statement ensures the result is positive

if time_2 < time_1 :

time_2 = time_2 + 2360

# Compute the hours and minutes in the difference.

difference = time_2 - time_1

hours = difference // 100

minutes = difference % 100

# The following two statements corrects any difference where the minutes value exceeds 60.

hours = hours + minutes // 60

minutes = minutes % 60

# Display the result.

print(hours, "hours", minutes, "minutes")
