how to turn seconds into h:m:s？？？

[Altera_Forum]

for example: 

"56783"seconds turn into the format of "h:m:s" is "15:46:23". I used the method of comparasion,i.e.confirm the hours first, 15*3600 < 56783 < 16*3600,so I confim the hour is 15. Then,comfirm the minutes is 46... But the question is that the "<" or ">" is rather delayed,a long path generated. So ,I want to ask a advice&#65306;can I find another way to realize the function ,not using the "<" and ">"? Thank U !

verilog.......

In vhdl, you can run multiple counters on the 1 sec clock edge: 

  if(Seconds /= 59) then Seconds <= Seconds + 1; else Seconds <= (others => '0'); if(Minutes /= 59) then Minutes <= Minutes + 1; else Minutes <= (others => '0'); if(Hours /=23) then Hours <= Hours + 1; else Hours <= (others => '0'); end if; end if; end if;

We don't expect to use the "/=" ,it causes delay. 

when the value of seconds is big,it may need several clocks.

It is a comparator either way (= checks all bits, /= checks all bits). Any difference in implementation or length of paths is target/tool dependant

ok 

thank u a lot!
