can someone help me please in this program:

write c++ program that prompts the user to input the elapsed time for an event in seconds. the program then outputs the elapsed time in hours,minutes, and seconds.(for example if the elapsed time is 9630 in seconds, then the output is 2:40:30)

thanks alot

  if ((int)((time-(((int)time/3600)*3600))/60)<10) cout << "0";
  cout << (int)((time-(((int)time/3600)*3600))/60) << ":";
  if (time-((((int)time/3600)*3600)+((int)((time-(((int)time/3600)*3600))/60)*60))<10)
    cout << "0";
  cout << time-((((int)time/3600)*3600)+((int)((time-(((int)time/3600)*3600))/60)*60))

While psault's code works, it is very hard to follow. Here is a simpler way to do it that is easier to follow.

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
	int hours;
	int minutes;
	int seconds;

	int time = 0;
	cout << "Enter time elapsed, in seconds: ";
	cin >> time;
	cout << endl;

	hours = static_cast<int>(time / 3600);

	time = time - hours * 3600;

	minutes = static_cast<int>(time / 60);

	time = time - minutes * 60;
	
	seconds = time;

	cout << hours;
	if (minutes < 10)
		cout << ":0" << minutes;
	else
		cout << ":" << minutes;
	
	if (seconds < 10)
		cout << ":0" << seconds;
	else 
		cout << ":" << seconds;
	
	cout << endl;

	return 0;
