Computing times

1.

Close the previous project and go through the process of creating a new project, this time named Time.

2.

Following the example in Section 2.6, create variables named hour, minute and second, and assign them values that are roughly the current time. Use a 24-hour clock, so that at 2pm the value of hour is 14.

3.

What do you think you should do here before going on? See Step 2 above.

4.

Make the program calculate and print the number of seconds since midnight.

5.

Make the program calculate and print the number of seconds remaining in the day.

6.

Make the program calculate and print the percentage of the day that has passed.

7.

Again, test your program by typing in a different time.

8.

Again, add comments to the program, print it, and write your name in the upper-right corner. Staple the two programs together and turn them in!

HINT: you may want to use additional variables to hold values temporarily during the computation. Variables like this, that are used in a computation but never printed, are sometimes called intermediate or temporary variables.
