I am stuck on the following problem at college. I have just begun learning python and have made a first attempt at solving this problem. Working out the distance traveled and the amount of time taken is of course very simple but my trouble is with working out how I can use 24 hour time accurately. How can I limit a 4 digit input or output so that the first two digits range from 00 - 24 and the 2nd two digits range from 0 - 60? Very confused, not looking for a direct solution as I'd like to solve it myself but some direction on how to begin might be helpful. I'm also aware that a lot of the variables I have defined are not strictly necessary, I just wrote them there as I worked them out in case they were helpful later. Thanks in advance.
Canada goose migrations can be as long as 2,000 to 3,000 miles, and the geese are capable of flying up to 1,500 miles in a single day.
If a flock of geese leave Edinburgh and travel at an average speed of 50mph. They stop in Iceland for 12 hours which is 805 miles away and then travel a farther 2472 miles to Tuktut Nogait National Park in Northern Canada, they stop to rest once for 12 hours in Canada along the way.
Given x as an input of a 24h time in hhmm such as 0130 or 0127, and given that Tuktut Nogait National Park is 7 hours behind BST, write a python script to calculate the time the geese arrive, such that if x is changed it will reflect the correct time of arrival and calculate their total journey time.'''
