Answer:
//import the Scanner class
import java.util.Scanner;
//Begin class definition
public class NumberOfMinutes{
//Begin main method
public static void main(String []args){
//Create an object of the Scanner class
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
//initialize a variable nm to hold the number of minutes
int nm = 0;
//Prompt the use to enter the number of hours
System.out.println("Please enter the number of hours");
//Receive the input using the Scanner object and
//Store the entered number of hours in a variable nh
int nh = input.nextInt();
//Prompt the user to enter the number of days
System.out.println("Please enter the number of days");
//Receive the input using the Scanner object and
//Store the entered number of days in a variable nd
int nd = input.nextInt();
//Prompt the user to enter the number of weeks
System.out.println("Please enter the number of weeks");
//Receive the input using the Scanner object and
//Store the entered number of weeks in variable nw
int nw = input.nextInt();
//Prompt the user to enter the number of years
System.out.println("Please enter the number of years");
//Receive the input using the Scanner object and
//Store the entered number of years in a variable ny
int ny = input.nextInt();
//Convert number of hours to minutes and
//add the result to the nm variable
nm += nh * 60;
//Convert number of days to minutes and
//add the result to the nm variable
nm += nd * 24 * 60;
//Convert number of weeks to minutes and
//add the result to the nm variable
nm += nw * 7 * 24 * 60;
//Convert number of years to minutes and
//add the result to the nm variable
nm += ny * 52 * 7 * 24 * 60;
//Display the number of minutes which is stored in nm
System.out.println("The number of minutes is " + nm);
} //End main method
} //End of class definition
Sample Output:
Please enter the number of hours
>>12
Please enter the number of days
>>2
Please enter the number of weeks
>>4
Please enter the number of years
>>5
The number of minutes is 2664720
