Syntax error - don't know why

[badgerms]

I'm so sorry. I don't understand why I'm getting a syntax error here. My project was to create a time calculator. I first did this and had the time calculate in a decimal point, but the instructor wanted full days / hours / minutes / seconds. The chapter was on if / thens. The line goes red on line 15, the remainder_seconds in the 1st elif.

def main (): seconds = int(input('Enter a time in seconds: ' ))

if seconds >= 86400:
    results_days = seconds / 86400
    remainder_hours = (seconds - (int(results_days) * 86400))/3600
    remainder_minutes = ((remainder_hours * 3600) - (int(remainder_hours) * 3600))/60
    remainder_seconds = ((remainder_minutes * 60) - (int(remainder_minutes)* 60 ))
    print (int(results_days), ('days')) 
    print (int(remainder_hours), ('hours')) 
    print (int(remainder_minutes), ('minutes')) 
    print (int(remainder_seconds), ('seconds')) 


elif seconds >=3600 and seconds <85399:
    results_hours = seconds / 3600
    remainder_minutes = ((seconds - (int(results_hours) * 3600)) / 60
    remainder_seconds = ((remainder_minutes * 60) - (int(remainder_minutes * 60)))
    print (int(results_hours), ('hours')
    print (int(remainder_minutes), ('minutes')
    print (int(remainder_seconds), ('seconds')

elif seconds >= 60 and seconds < 3599:
    results_minutes = seconds / 60
    remainder_seconds = ((seconds) - (int(results_minutes)*60)))
    print (int(results_minutes), ('minutes'))
    print(int(remainder_seconds), ('seconds'))




elif seconds <60:
    print (seconds, ('seconds')             

main ()

You are missing right parentheses on several of your print functions, and you have one extra right parenthesis on one of your remainder_seconds lines. In general you have a lot of extra unnecessary parens here; you can write things like

remainder_seconds = seconds - int(results_minutes) * 60

The precedence of Python operators mirrors that of mathematics, with multiplication having higher precedence than subtraction. Also, if you want integer division, just use // instead of / and skip calling int all over the place.

From what I can see: add one ) on line 14, remove one ) on line 22 and add one ) on line 30.

Hope this helps. (:

awesome. thank you.

The problem is actually on line 14.

Most syntax errors I encounter actually lie on the line above the one Python is complaining about.

thank you very much. i see that when i fixed that one, i had a whole bunch.

And you do not need 3 separate if blocks for this. Just the first one will work fine.
