    Talking TIME PROGRAM UNSOLVED

    // main class

    Modify class Time2 to include a tick method that increments the time stored in a Time2 object by one second. Provide method incrementMinute to increment the minute and method incrementHour to increment the hour. The Time2 object should always remain

    a) incrementing into the next minute,

    b) incrementing into the next hour and

    c) incrementing into the next day (i.e., 11:59:59 PM to 12:00:00 AM).

    how to manage case 4 stuff and what's the problem of this CODE .. tnx

    That really isn't how this works. What have you tried? Where is your MCVE?

    must have the output :

    Enter the time
    Hours: 23
    Minutes: 59
    Seconds: 59
    Hour: 23 Minute: 59 Second: 59
    Universal time: 23:59:59 Standard time: 11:59:59 PM
    1. Add 1 second
    2. Add 1 Minute
    3. Add 1 Hour
    4. Add seconds
    5. Exit
    Choice: 1
    Hour: 0 Minute: 0 Second: 1
    Universal time: 00:00:00 Standard time: 12:00:00 AM


    and so on...

    I don't see where you're trying to get the user's input. Isn't that what you need to do in Case 4? So get the user's input, set the time based on that input, then continue counting. What part of that don't you understand?
