var randu = require( '@stdlib/random/base/randu' );
var roundn = require( '@stdlib/math/base/special/roundn' );
var SECONDS_IN_HOUR = require( '@stdlib/constants/time/seconds-in-hour' );

var secs;
var hrs;
var i;

function hrs2secs( hrs ) {
    return hrs * SECONDS_IN_HOUR;
}

for ( i = 0; i < 10; i++ ) {
    hrs = roundn( randu()*20.0, -2 );
    secs = hrs2secs( hrs );
    console.log( '%d hours => %d seconds', hrs, secs );
