object TravelTimeCalculator {
  def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
    // Initialize distance and speed
    val distance: Double = 30.0 // (in km)
    val speed: Double = 90.0    // (in km/h)

    // Check to avoid division by zero
    if (speed <= 0) {
      Console.err.println("Speed must be greater than zero.")
      sys.exit(1) // exit with error code
    }

    // Calculate time
    val tm: Double = distance / speed
    println(f"Time required: $tm%.2f hours")

    // Optional: convert to hours and minutes
    val hours: Int = math.floor(tm).toInt
    val minutes: Int = math.round((tm - hours) * 60).toInt

    println(s"Which is approximately $hours hours and $minutes minutes.")
  }
}



/*
run:

Time required: 0.33 hours
Which is approximately 0 hours and 20 minutes.

*/
