int main()
{
int hours,minutes, inminutes;
printf("\n\n\t Please enter hours and minutes \n");
printf("\t hours:minutes = ");
scanf("%d:%d",&hours,&minutes);
inminutes=hours*60;
inminutes=inminutes+minutes;
printf("\n\t %d hours:%d minutes = %d minutes",hours,minutes,inminutes);
return 0;
}

Output:

Explanation:

1. Getting input from a user
2. Then, simply multiplying it by 60, that would give minutes

Frequently Asked Question

Q1. How to write a C program to convert years into minutes.

1 years is exactly equal to 525960 minutes. Using this concept, we need to multiply the given input to 525960 to get total minutes.

Program:

#include<stdio.h>
int main()
{
long years,minutes;
printf("\n\n\t Please enter years = ");
scanf("%ld",&years);
minutes=years * 525960;
printf("\n\t %ld years = %ld minutes",years,minutes);
return 0;
}

Output:

Please enter years = 3

3 years = 1577880 minutes
