1212// For the piece of code above, read the code and then answer the following questions
1313
1414// a) How many variable declarations are there in this program?
15+ // Answer: 6 variable declarations.
1516
1617// b) How many function calls are there?
18+ // Answer: 1 function call.
1719
1820// c) Using documentation, explain what the expression movieLength % 60 represents
1921// https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Arithmetic_Operators
22+ // Answer: The % operator is the remainder (modulo) operator.
23+ // movieLength % 60 gives the remainder after dividing the total seconds by 60.
24+ // That remainder is the number of seconds left after removing complete minutes.
25+ // Example: 8784 % 60 === 24.
2026
2127// d) Interpret line 4, what does the expression assigned to totalMinutes mean?
28+ // Answer: (movieLength - remainingSeconds) / 60
29+ // First it subtracts the leftover seconds so the value divides evenly by 60,
30+ // then it divides by 60 to get the total number of whole minutes in the movie.
2231
2332// e) What do you think the variable result represents? Can you think of a better name for this variable?
33+ // Answer: result stores the movie length formatted as hours:minutes:seconds
34+ // (for this value: "2:26:24").
35+ // A clearer name would be formattedTime.
2436
2537// f) Try experimenting with different values of movieLength. Will this code work for all values of movieLength? Explain your answer
38+ // Answer: It works for non-negative whole numbers of seconds and correctly
39+ // splits time into hours, minutes, and seconds.
40+ // Limitations:
41+ // - fractional values can produce messy decimals
42+ // - negative values do not make sense for a movie length.
43+ // Note: I have changed the movieLength from "8784" to "9325" for testing.
