Write a C++ program that contains a user-defined void function named elapsedTime

Question

Write a C++ program that contains a user-defined void function named elapsedTime that will compute the interval between two time values (separate hours/minutes):

void elapsedTime(int h1, int m1, int h2, int m2, int& h, int& m)

Your function must determine the elapsed time regardless of the order of the values (i.e., the first input time may be greater, less-than, or equal to the second input time).

The elapsed time should be expressed in hours/minutes and returned via the reference arguments h and m. Note that the returned minutes value should not be larger than 59!

Your main program needs to do the following: • Prompt the user and take as input two time values using the format hh:mm (including the colon).

• Call elapsedTime to compute the time interval.

• Display the result on the terminal display using a 'colon' character to separate the hours/minutes.

• Include a loop that will continue this process as long as the user wishes.

Examples:

Enter first time (hours:minutes) : 3:32

Enter second time (hours:minutes) : 3:45

Elapsed time is: 0:13

Continue? (y/n): y

Enter first time (hours:minutes) : 2:45

Enter second time (hours:minutes) : 2:32

Elapsed time is: 0:13 Continue? (y/n): y

Enter first time (hours:minutes) : 1:15

Enter second time (hours:minutes) : 14:15

Elapsed time is: 13:00 Continue? (y/n): n

Explanation / Answer

#include using namespace std; int timeToMinutes (int hours, int minutes) { return hours * 60 + minutes; } void minutesToTime(int minute_value, int& hours, int& mins) { hours = minute_value / 60; mins = minute_value % 60; } void elapsedTime(int h1, int m1, int h2, int m2, int& h, int& m) { bool pos = (timeToMinutes(h1,m1) h1 >> d >> m1; cout > h2 >> d >> m2; elapsedTime(h1,m1,h2,m2,h,m); zero = (m
