Simple IF statement not working as intended
#1
This is early work in my book, so should be simple. I went and came up with some functions there, called finalDays, finalHours, and finalMinutes.

As you can see, I put them in the IF statements, intending them to work as I wish.

For some reason, the output from Python is always all three of them. So if I enter in a number less than 86400, or even less than 3600, I still get all three functions returned. What am I missing?



def TimeCalc():
    #get the user to input the seconds
    userSeconds = int(input('Enter in the number of seconds to convert: '))

    #create functions that will convert seconds into desired time period
    secondsToMinutes = round(userSeconds/60,4)
    secondsToHours = round(userSeconds/3600,4)
    secondsToDays = round(userSeconds/86400,4)

    #testing more functions. These are for the IF statements if I have to repeat them
    finalDays = print(userSeconds,' seconds into days is: ',secondsToDays)
    finalHours = print(userSeconds,' seconds into hours is: ',secondsToHours)
    finalMinutes = print(userSeconds,' seconds into minutes is: ',secondsToMinutes)

    #begin calculating the IF Then statements with the inputs and functions
    if userSeconds >= 86400:
        finalDays, finalHours, finalMinutes
        #print(userSeconds,' seconds into days is: ',secondsToDays)
    else:
        if userSeconds >=3600:
            finalHours, finalMinutes
            #print(userSeconds,' seconds into hours is: ',secondsToHours)
        else:
            if userSeconds >=60:
                finalMinutes
                #print(userSeconds,' seconds into minutes is: ',secondsToMinutes)

#Call the TimeCalc Function
TimeCalc()
