I am Suppose To Create A Program That We Enter A Number Of Seconds Like

95362875

And Return To Me that number in the following way

Years:3
Weeks:1
Days:1
Hours:17
Minutes:41
Seconds:15

Its Suppose To Be In GUI Design which i have already made and its working my problem is the calculations i am suppose to enter in the action performed section of the button.
Dead Line Is Tommorow Morning 9.00am GMT+2

Thank You In Advance

normally i wouldn't help as the deadline is so close. but i was bored. The trick is to work out the remainders using modulo (%) and then use a simple division to get the amounts.

hence:

    public void timeConvert(int secs) {
//         int secs = 95362875;

        // first set up the constant values for time.
        int YearSecVal = 60 * 60 * 24 * 7 * 52;
        int WeekSecVal = 60 * 60 * 24 * 7;
        int DaySecVal = 60 * 60 * 24;
        int HourSecVal = 60 * 60;
        int MinSecVal = 60;   
        
        // next work out the remainding seconds from each calc.
        int newWeekSecs = secs % YearSecVal;
        int newDaySecs = newWeekSecs % WeekSecVal;
        int newHourSecs = newDaySecs % DaySecVal;
        int newMinSecs = newHourSecs % HourSecVal;
        int newSecs = newMinSecs % MinSecVal;

        // print it all out!
        System.out.println(secs / YearSecVal + " years");
        System.out.println(newWeekSecs / WeekSecVal + " weeks");
        System.out.println(newDaySecs / DaySecVal + " days");
        System.out.println(newHourSecs / HourSecVal + " hours");
        System.out.println(newMinSecs / MinSecVal + " mins");
        System.out.println(newSecs + " secs");

    }

and im also hoping your deadline has passed now :|

Theres prob a much nicer recursive way to do this, but simplicity was never a strong point.

Thank You M8 your help is appreciated.Yup I missed the deadline but at least i will understand its function.

And hopefully you'll post your problems much earlier too. Sorry you did not get a response on time though. I was away myself at the time.

Like you say i will try to post earlier but i wanted it to fight it till the last day
before the end since i dont like to get ready solutions.I want Tips and guidance :)
