def timing(minutes): # probably you should change these before returning, right?

Question

def timing(minutes):

# probably you should change these before returning, right?...

num_fortnights = 0

num_days = 0

num_hours = 0

num_minutes = 0

if minutes >= 20160:

num_fortnights = minutes // 20160

minutes = minutes - (num_fortnights * 20160)

elif minutes >= 1440 and minutes < 20160:

num_days = minutes // 1440

minutes = minutes - (num_days * 1440)

elif minutes >= 60 and minutes < 1440:

num_hours = minutes // 60

minutes = minutes - (num_hours * 60)

num_minutes = minutes

# as always you can name your variables what you want, but

# if you use these names, this return statement is what we need.

return (num_fortnights, num_days, num_hours, num_minutes)

this is the code that I worked with and it works for almost all tests except 3 tests:

do i need to make a loop for this to work?

Explanation / Answer

# assume the minutes parameter is an non-negative integer. # how many fortnights, days, hours, and minutes are included in that period? def timing(minutes): # probably you should change these before returning, right?... num_fortnights = minutes // (14 * 24 * 60) minutes %= (14 * 24 * 60) num_days = minutes // (24 * 60) minutes %= (24 * 60) num_hours = minutes // 60 minutes %= 60 return num_fortnights, num_days, num_hours, minutes
