# File: multiple_return1.py
#
# A program that demonstrates how to return multiple
# values from a function in Python.
#
# In other programming languages, reference parameters
# are needed so a function can return more than one
# value. This is unnecessary in Python, because it
# is easy to just return more than one value.
#


# Converts total_minutes to number of
# hours and number of minutes. 
#
def convert(total_minutes):
   hours = total_minutes // 60  
   minutes = total_minutes % 60
   return (hours, minutes)


n = 150
(h,m) = convert(n)
print(n, "minutes =", h, "hours and ", m, "minutes")

n = 180
(h,m) = convert(n)
print(n, "minutes =", h, "hours and ", m, "minutes")

n = 2450 
(h,m) = convert(n)
print(n, "minutes =", h, "hours and ", m, "minutes")


'''
Output from the program:

150 minutes = 2 hours and  30 minutes
180 minutes = 3 hours and  0 minutes
2450 minutes = 40 hours and  50 minutes
