Computers measure time in a number of seconds since a particular date $(1$ January $1970),$ which is often called the "epoch". Below, two lines of code are given that report this number to you. $($We will talk more about importing modules later on$.)$

import time

seconds$\_$since$\_$epoch $=$ time.time$()$

print$("$The current number of seconds since the epoch is$",$ seconds$\_$since$\_$epoch$)$

The current number of seconds since the epoch is $1706113461\mathrm{.}442004$

Try running this code a few times. Notice the result is different every time you run it$,$ since time is always passing!

Write two lines of code in the cell below.

The first line should use this variable seconds$\_$since$\_$epoch and convert it into the number of whole days since the epoch. Your line of code should also save the resulting value to a variable with a descriptive name.

The second line should print the value of your new variable. Make sure your result is a whole number! If it's not, think about using a different arithmetic operation.

Hint: How many seconds are in a day?

total$\_$days $=$ seconds$\_$since$\_$epoch $/86400$

print$($total$\_$days$)$

$19746\mathrm{.}683581504676$

$($b$)$ Seconds today

Write two lines of code in the cell below.

The first line should use the value seconds$\_$since$\_$epoch to determine how many seconds have passed in the current day and save it to a variable. Hint: Use the modulus operator.

The second line should print the value of your new variable.

$$

$($c$)$ Current time

Write code in the cell below that uses the values found in the previous parts to compute the current time of the day $($hours$,$ minutes, and seconds$),$ then prints it$.$

Suggestions:

To find the current hour, you will want to use the variable for the number of seconds today that you found in part $($b$).$

To find how many minutes have passed in the current hour, it may help first to compute how many seconds have passed in the current hour.

To find how many seconds have passed in the current minute, it will again help to start with the number of seconds in the current hour.
