Homework feedback

[FBHSIE]

Alright, so these were the apparent mistakes I made in my assignment.
// -1 correctly formed conditional(s) - MISSING
-1 WRONG ANSWER – LOOK AT THE EXAMPLE OUTPUT IN THE HOMEWORK INSTRUCTIONS

Can someone explain what a correctly formed conditional is and why I didn't correctly form it?

Also, this is the example output in the homework instructions.

11 Time Calculator
example output:

Time Calculator
When asked,
enter a number of seconds to determine the:
number of days (86400 seconds in a day)
number of hours (3600 seconds in a hour)
number of minutes (60 seconds in a minute)
remaining secondsÏ

Enter a number of seconds:
90061
1 day(s)
1 hour(s)
1 minute(s)
1 second(s)

But I'm still a bit confused how this helped me. Can someone explain? Thanks!

I don't see any conditionals, well-formed or otherwise.

If the user enters 86400, your program will output that there are "1 day, 24 hours, 1440 minutes, and 0 seconds", when it should output "1 day, 0 hours, 0 minutes, 0 seconds". Can you figure out what the problem is?

It depends on the original question whether conditionals are required.

Hold on, let me get the original question. Clearly, it must've been, since I missed points for not including them.

I'm not sure what exactly I missed or why I got the wrong answer.
