Introduction

In this, we’ll explore a C# programming problem that involves converting minutes into seconds. We’ll create a function that takes an integer representing minutes and returns the equivalent number of seconds.

Step 1: Defining the Function

First, let’s define a function called Convert that takes an integer representing minutes as an argument:

public static int Convert(int minutes)
{
  // Convert the minutes to seconds and return the result
}

Step 2: Converting Minutes to Seconds and Returning the Result

We’ll use the * operator to multiply the minutes by 60 (since there are 60 seconds in a minute) and return the result:

public static int Convert(int minutes)
{
  return minutes * 60;
}

Putting It All Together

Here’s the complete code for the Convert function:

public static int Convert(int minutes)
{
  return minutes * 60;
}
