hello everyone,
for school i got an assignment, wich stated we had to create a program in Quickbasic that would let you convert a decimal time (like 3,14 hours) to HH:MM:SS.
now i know how to do this on paper or in my head or what ever, but i have absolutly no clue how i should do this in quickbasic
does anyone have some pointers or tips for me?
any help is much appreciated!
thx in advance

PRINT "Hallo, Met dit programma kun je Decimale tijden omrekenen naar UU:MM:SS"
INPUT "Voer een decimaal getal in alstublieft", getal!
uren = FIX(getal!)
switch1 = (60 * (getal - uren))
minuten = FIX(switch1)

That's great, Iggy! Glad you found a program that does what you need. The program seems very clear and well done.
Now, PLEASE read the program and try to understand each and every line of it, as that is the only way that you will benefit from the program, believe me!
Then, if you have questions, folks here will be happy to help you out with good answers.

this is assuming you are using seconds as the input or such..
here is another way:
create a blank string (empty ) to hold the desired output : tim$
like this tim$=""
split the number into separate parts:
hour%=seconds%/3600
min% = (seconds% mod 60)/60
sec =seconds% mod 60
then convert each to strings
tim$ =str$(hour%)+":"+str$(min%)+":"+str$(sec%)
something like that anyways...

Everything's fine but here is a little mistake. It should be:
min% = (seconds% / 60) MOD 60
;-)
Cheers!
