将小时和分钟从总分钟数分配给元组；寻找简洁的方法来缩短代码而不使用datetime模块

Question

正在进行Python课程的作业，这需要将总分钟数分解为小时数和分钟数，而无需使用Datetime模块。我编写的代码可以正常工作，但是我希望将其缩短。如此简单的任务似乎有太多的代码。同样，我无法为此任务导入任何模块。

def total_minutes(mins):
    hours = mins / 60 # how many hours
    hours_rounded = (round(hours)) # round off the hours 
    rnd_hours_to_minutes = hours_rounded * 60 # multiply rounded hours and minutes
    remaining_mins = mins - rnd_hours_to_minutes # separate remaining minutes from hours
    if remaining_mins < 0: # have to have this statement because when minutes is between 30 and 60, shows negative number subtracting from 60
        remaining_mins += 60 # adding 60 minutes to the negative number to reflect actual minutes
        hours_rounded -= 1 # have to subtract hour since an hour is added when adding 60 minutes to negative number
    vars_to_tuple = (hours_rounded, remaining_mins) # assign vars to tuple
    print(vars_to_tuple) # will print hours and minutes in tuple; ex: (2, 59)

total_minutes(179)

Answer 1

def hours_and_minutes(mins):
    hours = mins // 60
    minutes = mins % 60
    return hours, minutes
