Hello, i am working on a project for learning python and I’m stuck. The
directions are confusing me. Please keep in mind I’m very ne to this. The
directions are long so I’ll just add the paragraphs I’m confused about and my

Sorry I forgot to add the code that I had to give an example
Hello,
I had a question regarding functions. Is there a way to call a function
multiple times without recalling it over and over. Meaning is there a way I
can call a function and then add *5 or something like that?
Thanks for any help!

Here you take 100/60 = 1 (which = time for the next line).

So, this is more like what you’re talking about?

#x27;,
seconds, 'seconds'
Not sure if that’s the correct way to do it but it works! If there is any
other advice I’ll take it.

Assume variables exist for minutes and seconds. Each variable is an integer.
How would you create a string in the format,
3:11
with no spaces. where 3 is minutes and 11 is seconds.
Obviously when I…
print minutes, “:”, seconds
I get 3
Yeah you’re right I didn’t even notice that. For some reason I just added the
60 instead of using quantity which had been defined.

You guys are awesome! I think I was over complicating things for one. Plus I
was looking at some code I wrote for another problem that asked to put in the
number of seconds to calculate the problem and I didn’t need some of the things
I added to this problem. Anyways, you guys have given me a
