Once you calculated the number of seconds required by subtracting, there were two ways of formatting it as specified by the problem statement:
Using for/while loops along with the modulus operator to obtain the number of hours/days/months, etc. An array specifying the number of days in each month is also necessary and don't forget about leap years. Remember to include leading zeros in your output.
This method involved the use of the DateTime package in Java or Python, which made the solution very simple.
