Add time using structures in C++

This is a C++ implementation of adding time using structures or struct. A structure is a convenient tool for handling a group of logically related data items. Structure help to organize complex data is a more meaningful way. It is powerful concept that we may after need to use in our program Design.

Write a program having a structure named Time which has three integer data items i.e. hour, minute and second. The task is to add the variables of the Time data type though a function

void AddTime(Time *time1, Time *time2)

which takes as arguments the addresses of two Time type variables, adds these variables and stores the result in time2. The function must satisfy the following:

If second exceeds 60 then add 1 in minutes and subtract 60 from seconds.
If minute exceeds 60 then add 1 in hours and subtract 60 from minutes.
If hour exceeds 24 then subtract 24 from hours.

Test this function and print the result in the calling function.

struct Time {
    int hour, minute, second;
};
 
void AddTime(Time * , Time * );
 
int main() {
    Time var1, var2;
    for (int i = 0; i < 1; i++) {
        cout << "for structure variable #" << i + 1 << " Enter the hours:";
        cin >> var1.hour;
        cout << "for structure variable #" << i + 1 << " Enter the minutes:";
        cin >> var1.minute;
        cout << "for structure variable #" << i + 1 << " Enter the seconds:";
        cin >> var1.second;
        cout << endl << endl;
 
        cout << "for structure variable #" << i + 2 << " Enter the hours:";
        cin >> var2.hour;
        cout << "for structure variable #" << i + 2 << " Enter the minutes:";
        cin >> var2.minute;
        cout << "for structure variable #" << i + 2 << " Enter the seconds:";
        cin >> var2.second;
 
    }
 
    AddTime( &var1, &var2);
 
    cout << "\nNew hours = " << var2.hour;
    cout << "\nNew minutes = " << var2.minute;
    cout << "\nNew seconds = " << var2.second;
    cout << endl;
}
 
void AddTime(Time * time1, Time * time2) {
 
    time2 -> hour += time1 -> hour;
    time2 -> minute += time1 -> minute;
    time2 -> second += time1 -> second;
 
    if (time2 -> second > 60) {
        time2 -> minute += 1;
        time2 -> second -= 60;
    }
 
    if (time2 -> minute > 60) {
        time2 -> hour += 1;
        time2 -> minute -= 60;
    }
 
    if (time2 -> hour > 24) {
        time2 -> hour -= 24;
    }
 
}

Output of the C++ Program

for structure variable #1 Enter the hours:2
for structure variable #1 Enter the minutes:10
for structure variable #1 Enter the seconds:20


for structure variable #2 Enter the hours:2
for structure variable #2 Enter the minutes:10
for structure variable #2 Enter the seconds:20

New hours = 4
New minutes = 20
New seconds = 40
