// For the piece of code above, read the code and then answer the following questions
13-
1412
// a) How many variable declarations are there in this program?
13+
// Declarations are lines that use const or let
14+
// const movieLength
15+
// const remainingSeconds
16+
// const totalMinutes
17+
// const remainingMinutes
18+
// const totalHours
19+
// const result
20+
// My answer: 6 variable declarations
1521

1622
// b) How many function calls are there?
23+
// A function call uses parentheses like something(..)
24+
// console.log(result) is a function call
25+
// My answer: 1 function call
1726

// c) Using documentation, explain what the expression movieLength % 60 represents
19-
// https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Arithmetic_Operators
28+
// % is the remainder operator
29+
// movieLength % 60 gives the leftover seconds after dividing by 60
30+
// (the seconds part that doesn't make a full minute)
31+
// Answer: it represents the remaining seconds
2032

2133
// d) Interpret line 4, what does the expression assigned to totalMinutes mean?
34+
// totalMinutes = (movieLength - remainingSeconds) / 60
35+
// First it removes the leftover seconds so we have an exact number of seconds that fits into whole minutes
36+
// Then it divides by 60 to convert seconds into minutes
37+
// Answer: it calculates the total whole minutes in the movie
2238

2339
// e) What do you think the variable result represents? Can you think of a better name for this variable?
40+
// result is a string that formats the time as hours:minutes:seconds
41+
// Better name: formattedTime or movieDuration
2442

2543
// f) Try experimenting with different values of movieLength. Will this code work for all values of movieLength? Explain your answer
44+
// It works for normal positive numbers (seconds) like 8784
45+
// It will also run for 0 (gives 0:0:0)
46+
// But negative values would produce negative hours/minutes/seconds, which isn't a real time format
47+
// So it assumes movieLength is a non-negative number
