How to convert a 3 digit number to Minute-Second format

In my basketball sim, the quarter clock is set to a 3 digit number, 12 minute quarters * 60 seconds = 720 seconds. After the result of my play, I subtract a random number, in-between 10-24, from the quarter clock. I print the result of my play, as well as the quarter clock. Example code:

quarter_clock = 12 * 60
time_runoff = random.randint(10,24)

def play():
    if player_makes_shot:
    print("player makes the shot")
    quarter_clock = quarter_clock - time_runoff
    print(quarter_clock)

output:

player makes shot
702

How can I make the clock output to be in a minute-second format like this:

11:42

Thanks for the help! :)

I'd use the time library here. It's made to do precisely this, and you can put into any format you'd like:

So for minutes and seconds (Ie 12:00), do time.strftime("%M:%S", time.gmtime(quarter_clock))

time.strftime("%M:%S", time.gmtime(702))
Out[13]: '11:42'

And it's just a simple change in the print statement

import time
import random

quarter_clock = 12 * 60
time_runoff = random.randint(10,24)

def play():
    if player_makes_shot:
        print("player makes the shot")
        quarter_clock = quarter_clock - time_runoff
        print(time.strftime("%M:%S", time.gmtime(quarter_clock)) )

You can use divmod, which "returns the quotient and remainder after a division of two numbers":

>>> divmod(702,60)
(11, 42)

So you can do something like this:

>>> minutes, seconds = divmod(702,60)
>>> print(f"{minutes}:{seconds}")
11:42

EDIT:

You can also add a 0 to the left of the seconds in case it is a 1-digit number, e.g.:

>>> minutes, seconds = divmod(662,60)
>>> print(f"{minutes}:{seconds:02d}")
11:02

 def convert(seconds): 
      seconds = seconds % (24 * 3600) 
       hour = seconds // 3600
       seconds %= 3600
       minutes = seconds // 60
       seconds %= 60
      return hour,minutes,seconds

 def get_sec(h,m,s):
      """Get Seconds from time."""
     if h==np.empty:
         h=0
     if m==np.empty:
         m=0
     if s==np.empty:
         s=0
     return int(h) * 3600 + int(m) * 60 + int(s)
