Im new to coding and i have a project on making a time converter from seconds.

Python

print('Time Converter')
print('')
print('\n This a Time Converter')


#input('Enter time in seconds:')
time = 86399#float(input('Number of seconds:'))

Hours = (time//60)//60
Minutes = Hours
Minutes %= Hours//60
Seconds %= Minutes

Not sure of your conversion algo.

Try

Python

def convert(seconds): 
    seconds = seconds % (24 * 3600) 
    hour = seconds // 3600
    seconds %= 3600
    minutes = seconds // 60
    seconds %= 60
      
    return "%d:%02d:%02d" % (hour, minutes, seconds) 
      

n = 86399#int(input('Number of seconds:'))
print(convert(n))

Solution 1

Your code must contain Exception blocks always(Otherwise your apps doomed). Handle it
Python Exception Handling - ZeroDivisionError[^]

The 'zero division error' occurs because of this line

Python

Seconds %= Minutes

In order to compute the reminder, a division is performed, if Minutes is zero the troubles are going to come.

However, as pointed out by Sandeep your code is (thoroughly) incorrect, you have to look over the algorithm again.
