Thread: Beginner question

I need help with my code to declare the total value.

--- Update ---

import java.util.Scanner;
 
 
/**

public class DownloadTimeApp {
 
    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) 
    {
        Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
        String choice = "y";
        while (choice.equalsIgnoreCase("y")) {
 
        System.out.println ("Welcome to the Download Time Estimator");
        System.out.println();
 
        //gets input from the user
        System.out.println("Enter file size (MB):");
        int fileSize = sc.nextInt();
        System.out.println("Enter download speed )(MB/sec):");
        int totalSec = sc.nextInt();
 
 
        //variables
        int total = total (fileSize / totalSec);
 
        int hours = totalSec / 3600;
        int minutes = (totalSec % 3600) / 60;
        int seconds = totalSec % 60;
 
        //calculated message
        System.out.println();
        String message = 
                "This download will take approximately" + hours + "hours" + minutes + 
                "minutes" + seconds + "seconds";
        System.out.println(message);
 
        //if user wants to continue
        System.out.print("Continue? (y/n): ");
        choice = sc.next();
        System.out.println();
        // TODO code application logic here
 
        }
    }
 
}

I'm trying to figure out where to declare my total.
this is my formula total = fileSize / totalSec

What is the problem? Do you have any specific question or error messages?

Welcome to the forum! Thanks for taking the time to learn how to post code correctly. If you haven't already, please read this topic to learn other useful info for new members.

Where it is is will need to be adjusted in order to use the totalSec value. How it has been done is not so good. Why can't you follow the models of hours, minutes, and seconds to declare and initialize total?

There is no error message my problem is that I need to get 2 input values.

Basically I just need to divide the fileSize and totalSec then the Total will have to be shown in hrs mins and secs.

For example:

800 / 2 = 400secs -> Then I need to convert 400secs into hrs mins and secs

It should show output "This download will take approximately 0 hrs 6 mins and 40 secs"

I already got the formula right for converting seconds to hrs mins and secs my only problem is I need to get the total value first before it converts it to hrs mins and secs. Right now my program only reads the second value which is the totalSec.

No the total value is not from the user input. I need it to be calculated after the user inputs fileSize and totalSec. I just need it to calculate internally then produce hr min sec output.

My formula goes like this:

The user inputs MBytes and Seconds/DL
Then after the user inputs two values the program has to divide the two values to get the total.
The total which is not reflected through the output will be converted into hrs mins and secs.

My problem is I don't know where I Am supposed to put the fileSize / totalSec = total formula in my code. Like I said right now, it only reads the second user input which is totalSec.

Yes thank you I did renamed it finally figured it out. Thank you I think I got it.
