How to Convert Task Duration to Seconds in C++
Learn how to convert task duration to seconds in C++ step by step.
In this lesson, we ask the user to enter the number of days, hours, minutes, and seconds, then we convert the whole task duration into total seconds and print the final result on the screen.
In this video, you will learn:
How to use struct in C++
How to store task duration data inside a user-defined type
How to read days, hours, minutes, and seconds from the user
How to convert days to seconds
How to convert hours to seconds
How to convert minutes to seconds
How to calculate the total task duration in seconds
How to organize the solution using small functions
I also share an important message for beginners:
As a developer, you do not need to know everything in the world. Your real job is to understand the requirements clearly, search for the right solution, convert the requirement into code, test it, and improve it when needed.
It is also important to divide the program into small functions and procedures. This makes the code easier to read, test, modify, or delete later if the client or your boss asks for changes in one specific feature.
This lesson is great for C++ beginners who want to improve structs, functions, problem solving, and real-life thinking in programming.
