Chapter 2 Question 2.7, Introduction to Java Programming, Tenth Edition Y. Daniel LiangY.

(Find the number of years) Write a program that prompts the user to enter the minutes (e.g., 1 billion), and displays the number of years and days for the minutes. For simplicity, assume a year has 365 days. Here is a sample run:

Solution

import java.util.Scanner;

public class Exercise_02_07

{

    public static void main(String[] args)

    {

        Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);

        // Prompt the user to enter the number of minutes

        System.out.print("Enter the number of minutes: ");

        int minutes = input.nextInt();

        // Compute the number of years and days

        int years = minutes / 525600;

        int days = (minutes % 525600) / 1440;

        // Display results

        System.out.println(minutes + " minutes is approximately " + years

            + " years and " + days + " days");

   

    }

}
