newbie with some questions =]

Hello all! I'm very new to Java and am just getting used to it.

First off, how long does it usually take/did it take you to get certified? .*)

Secondly, I have this code that converts seconds to hours, minutes, seconds.

I have two problems I'm hoping one of you JavaGods can help me out with:

1.) How would you format it so the output is on one line ie., 23:05:10

2.) How do you change the data type, if that's what it is so I can input a lot of seconds. I'm not quite sure how many but if I input too many integers I get this error message:

java.util.InputMismatchException: For input string: "34543543535"

at java.util.Scanner.nextInt(Scanner.java:2097)

at java.util.Scanner.nextInt(Scanner.java:2050)

at MakeTime.main(MakeTime.java:17)

java.util.InputMismatchException: For input string: "34534545345"

at java.util.Scanner.nextInt(Scanner.java:2097)

at java.util.Scanner.nextInt(Scanner.java:2050)

at MakeTime.main(MakeTime.java:17)

or I'll get:

InputMismatchException:

For input string: "34534545345" (in java.util.Scanner)

__

Here's my code:

import java.util.*;

publicclass MakeTime

{

static Scanner console =new Scanner(System.in);

staticfinalint HOURS = 3600;

staticfinalint MINUTES = 60;

publicstaticvoid main(String[] args)

{

int time;

System.out.print("Enter the time in seconds: ");

System.out.flush();

time = console.nextInt();

System.out.println();

System.out.println("Hours: " + time / HOURS);

time = time % HOURS;

System.out.println("Minutes: " + time / MINUTES);

time = time % MINUTES;

System.out.println ("Seconds: " + time);

}

}

Perhaps, I should've put this thread in the "New to Java" forum. =]
